The Department of Transport Engineering and Logistics (DTEL) at the
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, hosts of the BRT Centre of
Excellence (www.brt.cl) and key member of the Centre for Sustainable Urban
Development – CEDEUS (www.cedeus.cl), is currently looking for a post
doctorate or experienced researcher to join our research group. We have a
number of on going projects on different urban mobility issues in which the
successful applicant could participate, leading some and/or collaborating
with other researchers at the DTEL on others. Individuals with research
interests in any area regarding urban mobility (public transport,
non-motorized modes, pedestrians, private vehicles, etc.) ranging from the
most strategic to the most operational aspects of each theme are especially
encouraged to apply (i.e. planning, design, financing, economics, social
issues, environmental impacts, demand modelling, operations and control).
We welcome applicants with the ability to carry out interdisciplinary and
collaborative research and an interest in the role transportation plays in
urban sustainability.
*Job Description: *We are seeking applicants with a PhD in an area related
with urban mobility and with a demonstrated research potential. Candidates
need not be fluent in Spanish at the moment of applying as we welcome
applications from within and outside Chile. They must exhibit excellent
oral and written communication skills and an aptitude for teamwork. While
industrial experience is desirable, a strong commitment to rigorous and
relevant research is essential. We offer the attractive opportunity of a
job working in the field of urban mobility within an international and
interdisciplinary academic setting.
*Requirements:* Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or be about to complete it. It
is important that the applicant is able to work collaboratively and
international experience is desirable. Review of applications starts

a commitment of at least two years.

CV including a publication list, contact details of three reference
providers and a one page description of their experience and research
