Are you a passionate researcher with interest in the fast pacing advances in the field of smart mobility? University of Twente has a 3-year opening for a postdoctoral researcher position in the SmartHubs research project. SmartHubs will assess if a co-creation process in the development of mobility hubs, involving users, governments and businesses, can enable mobility hubs to act as a game changer towards inclusive, sustainable urban mobility and accessibility.
In this project you will work closely with research and industrial partners from six countries, including the following universities: TU Munich, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, University of Münster (WWU), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), University of Bologna (UNIBO), TU Wien. In the SmartHubs project you will conduct research that goes beyond the state of the art to explore the potential of user-centric mobility hubs that promote inclusive sustainable urban mobility and accessibility. The research will be applied in five living labs in Vienna, Brussels, The Hague-Rotterdam, Munich and Istanbul.
THE CHALLENGE
In the SmartHubs project you will have to coordinate the activities of The Hague-Rotterdam, which is one of the five project living labs, liaise with the local partners, organize surveys and focus-group workshops, analyze smartcard data from public transport service providers, and collaborate with researchers from the six other universities in the project to adopt best practices from other living labs.
Specific research questions that will be addressed in this postdoctoral research project are:
