FINAL REMINDER

The University of Auckland, New Zealand is recruiting for a new transportation engineering academic position.

Please feel free to circulate this message to potentially interested applicants.

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Transportation Planning)





Job ID: 15828 (Permanent Position)













Faculty of Engineering / Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The University of Auckland, New Zealand.



The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering is inviting applications for the above academic position.  This opportunity arises due to a need to strengthen the University's contribution to the transportation engineering sector in New Zealand and the Australasian / Pacific region and especially to meet the expected growth in population and transportation infrastructure needs in the Auckland Region.  The Department Transportation programme has an outstanding reputation, both within New Zealand and internationally for its teaching and research programs, as well as its close collaborations with industry.  Due to recent staff retirements a replacement is required in the Transportation Planning area.
The appointee with a doctorate in engineering, will be required to teach Departmental courses in transportation planning, modelling and system analysis, both at under-graduate and graduate levels. Applicants must demonstrate expertise and a strong commitment to undertake research in the theory, practice, methods and applications in transportation planning, and should be familiar with urban transportation planning, modelling and/or traffic engineering optimisation methods. Additionally, a demonstrable interest in one or more of:  smart/intelligent transport systems, human behaviour, policy analysis, active and sustainable transportation systems, freight and logistics modelling would be desirable. Attractive candidates would have a track record of peer-reviewed publications, presentations in international academic conferences, research funding, and teaching experience, or show great potential to excel in these areas.
The current student numbers are approximately 240 under-graduate per year (almost all full-time) and 100 graduate (mostly part-time), plus about 40 undertaking research in the Transportation area. The initiation of a research programme in an appropriate area of transportation will be expected, and will be strongly encouraged. This research will be co-ordinated with the Transportation Research Centre (TRC) in the Department. Currently, there are six academic staff members in transportation engineering.
The appointment is desirable for an early to mid-career academic because of the requirement for strong industry interaction; appointment at Associate Professor level is possible for an outstanding candidate who has the track record and potential to develop leadership and an academic centre of excellence.
Preliminary enquiries relating to the above positions, and the Department, its research and teaching may be directed to Dr Douglas Wilson email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or to the Head of Department, Professor Pierre Quenneville, email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
