Dear colleagues, As the grant-holder, I would like to say a bit more about the post advertised on this mailing list for a Research Associate/Fellow for the recently awarded 2-year EPSRC project 'Investigating Travel Behaviour Dynamics and their Incorporation into Transport Models'. I am looking for someone with either: (i) Mathematical/statistical expertise with ability to relate this to survey and analysis of human behaviour; or (ii) Travel behaviour expertise with ability to conduct quantitative analysis. I would characterise the project as being about situations such as where a new light rapid transit (LRT) system is introduced and we want to know how patronage will build up over time (will it be an instant success or will it take time to attract a viable market share?). It would be helpful to understand how potential users of the LRT adapt to its introduction (an employee might be keen to use the LRT but have a parking season ticket and wait until it expires; a shopper might learn over time that it is more convenient for them to use the car to go to the city centre instead of the bus because the LRT has reduced car commuting and freed up parking spaces; a company might choose to locate near the LRT line in advance of it opening to take advantage of the high level of accessibility to be offered). The appointment is for three years and the salary will be in the range £17,624 - £27,669. Closing date for applications is 14 April 2004. Further details about the project and post are available at the following link: http://www.transport.uwe.ac.uk/opportunities/new-posts.htm http://www.transport.uwe.ac.uk/research/projects/travel-behaviour- dynamics.htm Please contact me if you would like to discuss the post further. ---- Dr. Kiron Chatterjee Rees Jeffreys Senior Lecturer in Transport and Society Faculty of the Built Environment University of the West of England Frenchay Campus Coldharbour Lane BRISTOL BS16 1QY Tel +44(0)117 328 2032 Fax +44(0)117 328 3002 Email [log in to unmask] Web www.transport.uwe.ac.uk --------------------------------------------------- Sent via UWE Webmail http://webmail.uwe.ac.uk This email has been independently scanned for viruses and any virus detected has been removed using McAfee anti-virus software
