Dear Colleagues,

The School of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, welcomes applications for the position of Professor in the area of transport engineering.  This is a full-time, continuing position at the University.
The School of Civil Engineering is one of the largest schools in Australia with 34 full-time academic staff members who are widely published internationally and have extensive research backgrounds ranging from structures, fluids, coastal, environmental, geotechnical, transport and fire. The School has recently initiated a 3-year, $2M research program with the Port of Brisbane, which does considerable import/export business, including containers, agricultural products, coal and other bulk products. The School also maintains research arrangements with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, including the ASTRA Chair in Transport Engineering. The successful appointee will also help to expand research strengths in transport at the University, spanning civil engineering, geography and urban planning, information technology and electrical engineering, and related disciplines.
The successful appointee will engage, as a full professor, in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, postgraduate supervision, and further development of the School's Civil Engineering program, as well as performing research, administrative and other activities associated with the School. Applicants should possess PhD in the area of Civil Engineering, Systems/Industrial Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Urban Planning and Geography, or an equivalent discipline. Research interests in transport may include, but are not limited to, traveller behaviour, transport economics, freight and logistics, connected and autonomous vehicles, or transport systems analysis using large and disparate data sets.
