Job Details
Based in the Institute for Transport Studies, you will contribute to the European Research Council funded DECISIONS project which looks at; reconciling modelled choices with real world choices; developing models for interactions between decision makers and between short term and long term decisions; improving the interface between discrete choices and continuous consumption; and making use of innovative new data sources. This is a multi-faceted research project and you will have the opportunity to take academic ownership of large parts of the programme and make a lasting contribution to the field in addition to contributing to the empirical component of the project, which makes use of an innovative survey combining; social network analysis; attitudinal surveys; a life course calendar; and GPS smartphone tracking.
Joining the Choice Modelling Research Group and working closely with Professor Stephane Hess and colleagues, you will also be involved with and contribute to cross-University collaborations through the Choice Modelling Centre (CMC) which aims to be a globally leading centre for academic research in choice modelling.
With a PhD (or close to completion) in Choice Modelling, you will also have a strong track record of developing and refining state-of-the-art modelling techniques and applying them to different decision contexts and a developing track record of peer-reviewed publications in international journals. Experience with survey design and a willingness to learn about unfamiliar sectors and literatures are desirable.
