e-Hubs is a project that is funded by Interreg West Europe to study and support the implementation of electric mobility hubs in several cities of this region. Amsterdam leads a consortium that will look at optimizing these e-hubs for maximum urban mobility sustainability impact. The job of the post-doc at TU Delft will be to help lead the task "Transport Modelling and Travel Behaviour Analysis" where he/she will do research on selecting the most promosing locations for the e-hubs and characterize the behavior of urban travelers who are using and could pottential use these e-mobility options. The impacts of the e-hubs on the transport network are also of concern to this project. TU Delft will work close together with the cities and shared mobility providers. We will partner up with Newcastle University for this research.

Applicants should have the following qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Transportation or closely related
• Solid background in transportation systems modeling, ideally with prior experience on behavior modeling.
• Willingness and ability to communicate with other scientific partners, companies and cities.

Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences

The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences (CEG) is committed to outstanding international research and education in the field of civil engineering, applied earth sciences, traffic and transport, water technology and delta technology. The research covers global social issues and is closely connected to education as well as the work of a wide range of knowledge institutions. CEG is convinced that Open Science helps to realise these goals and supports its scientists in integrating Open Science in their research practice. The Faculty of CEG comprises 28 research groups in the following seven departments: Materials Mechanics Management & Design, Engineering Structures, Geoscience and Engineering, Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Transport & Planning, Hydraulic Engineering and Water Management.

The Transport and Planning Department (T&P) has been awarded the maximum score on quality and viability for all research assessments for the last 15 years. Delft University of Technology is ranked 3rd on the Shanghai Ranking on Transport Sciences & technology. Furthermore the faculty was ranked 4th  in the latest QS world university ranking. T&P (with about 120 members) has a strong track record in traffic flow theory, traffic simulation, dynamic traffic management and intelligent transport systems of all transport modes, including railway, pedestrians and urban public transport. A trademark of the department is the use of empirical data, incorporating human factors and advanced modelling tools.
