Resilience Research Group, Centre for Transport Studies University College London Some time ago, I circulated an email advertising two research posts on our research project “Dynamic Responsive Signal Control for Railway Junctions”. The two posts are Research Associate A in Data Collection and Analysis of Railway Operations at Junctions and Stations (Ref:1161117) and Research Associate B in Modelling Railway Operations at Junctions and Stations (Ref:1161297). I would like to draw the attention of those who have experience of the development of (discrete) simulation models. Research Associate B does NOT require railway knowledge at the application stage, and therefore those who have developed simulation models for road traffic, air traffic, etc, are encouraged to apply for this post. As one objective of this project is to learn from the operations of other transport modes, we appreciate people who have developed models for other transport modes.

The aim of this work is to develop methods for improved capacity and resilience in the operation of railway networks. The projects will hire two research associates: · Research Associate A in Data Collection and Analysis of Railway Operations at Junctions and Stations (Ref:1161117) · Research Associate B in Modelling Railway Operations at Junctions and Stations (Ref:1161297) The main duties of Research Associate A will be stakeholder engagement and data collection in the premises of our industry partners regarding their current operations. As well as this, the appointee will be responsible for analysing the resulting data and writing reports to document current practice and thinking in the industry. The main duties of Research Associate B will be the development and calibration of a discrete dynamic simulation model for railway systems, with a focus on operations at junctions and stations. The appointee will then develop this simulation to explore novel optimisation strategies, working with Research Associate A to represent current operating practice and development opportunities in the industry. Research Associate B will be responsible for writing reports and for the day to day running of the project. The post Research Associate A is funded for 1 year in the first instance whereas Research Associate B is for 2 years in the first instance. Both of them are available from 1 January 2011. The posts are full-time with Salary (inclusive of London allowance) £31,778 - £33,542 per annum. The closing date for applications is 30 October 2010.
