PhD student in Transportation and Mobility Planning

**100%, Zurich, fixed-term**

**Project background**
Prof. Heinen’s group aims to expand causal knowledge on travel behaviour and behavioural change in the field of transport by conducting empirical research and combining different research disciplines. A key research focus is to conduct natural experimental studies and to develop a panel. The research is conceptually driven and empirical. The motivation for our research is to enhance resilience in urban areas in terms of well-being, performance, sustainability, and health.
- The impact of the built environment on mobility
- Travel behaviour
- Active travel and micro-mobility
- Urban logistics, with a focus on shopping behaviour
- Inequalities, both between socio-economic groups, but also spatial differences such as urban and rural residents

Other research topics are welcome, as long as they match the group leader’s general vision and are complementary to the group’s core research areas.

**Job description**
Duties/Job description:

- Participation in (ongoing) research projects and support for the acquisition of new research projects
- Contribution to teaching and examinations
- Successful authorship and defense of a doctoral dissertation on one of the research group’s core research areas
- Authorship and successful publication of research papers in high-impact research journals
- Active participation both within the research group and via (inter)national networks and conference
- Participation in the organizational and administrative tasks of the institute

**Your profile**
(I) Requirements:

- MSc degree in the fields of transportation, civil engineering, computer science, spatial planning, geography, geoinformation, psychology or an equivalent qualification
- Very good knowledge of written and spoken English (C1 or higher)
- Some knowledge of programming and data analysis and a willingness to familiarize yourself further with scientific software packages (e.g., scripting languages, GIS software, MATLAB, R, Stata, etc.)
- Enjoyment of scientific work
- Ability to work in a team, have problem-solving skills, and the ability to self-organize and take personal responsibility in the fulfilment of tasks
- Good communication skills

(II) Desired skills and qualifications (not required but a plus):

- Advanced knowledge of the field of transport planning or travel behaviour
- Demonstrated ability to write high-quality scientific texts (e.g., very well graded theses or publications)
- Experience with simulation programs, big data analyses, or qualitative analyses. N.B. it is not expected/desired that you have experience with all of these methods/programs, but familiarity with some are desired
- Good German language skills (B2) or the willingness to gain sufficient knowledge in written and spoken German
