Dear UTSG members,


The Future Mobility Lab at Huddersfield Business School within the University of Huddersfield is a newly established academic hub for delivering transport research of international excellence, and is looking to appoint a Research Fellow in Transport. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team and work on our expanding research portfolio in the areas of sustainable mobility and smart transport futures. The employed researcher will work under the supervision of Dr Alexandros Nikitas. This is an 18-month post (0.5 FTE) with the potential for further extension if we are successful in our research bidding activities.


The University of Huddersfield is an award winning, successful, and modern University. Inspirational and innovative research is at the core of our vision. The candidate will be based in the Department of Logistics, Marketing, Hospitality and Analytics within Huddersfield Business School with a wealth of researchers who contribute to the three research centres in the school. The candidate could also be working with Future Mobility Lab colleagues from the School of Computing & Engineering and the School of Applied Sciences. The Future Mobility Lab was funded by our University’s Areas of Strategic Research Importance competition and is part of the new Sustainable Living Research Centre.


Research project areas



Our Future Mobility Lab looks to promote the study of sustainable and socially inclusive mobility and automated, connected, alternatively fuelled, shared and digitised transport, and inspire travel behaviour change. We expect from the successful candidate to conduct research that informs efforts to decarbonising transport by making private car use less indispensable or drastically smarter; this type of research is critical for creating pathways to more liveable futures. Our portfolios of work include transformative innovations like Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Mobility-as-a-Service, Electric Vehicles, Micromobility, Hyperloop, Personal Aerial Vehicles, Drones and transport measures in need of ‘revitalisation’ like Cycling, Bike-sharing, Public Transport, Transit Oriented Development, Walking School Buses, Road Pricing and Parking Management. Candidates are expected to be able to combine business, behavioural, planning and engineering approaches to study how a socio-technical transition to sustainable futures is achievable through making transport a more intelligent, pro-environmental, resource-efficient, health-improving, equitable and safe medium.


The Research Fellow will be required to:



  *
Conduct literature review studies on one or more of the above thematic areas.

  *
Help in developing research bidding proposals for winning transport projects.

  *
Conduct primary quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Capacity to do independent mixed method research will be highly appreciated.

  *   Publish in top-tier peer reviewed journals.

  *   Support our new Masters in Future Mobility.
