Additional European languages are a plus. The researcher should have a demonstrated track record in mobility research and collaborative project work.

The successful applicant will become a core member of the GEMOTT team and will be based at UAB's Geography Department. The position is fully funded for two years, and the salary is 43,000 € gross annual salary, with flexible work-time and 37.5 hours/week.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop a conceptual framework to investigate personal, social, and contextual factors influencing public acceptability and opposition to BESTI interventions.
  • Design and implement large-scale geolocated public opinion surveys across 8 European cities, and conduct longitudinal analysis of survey responses to track changes in attitudes over time.
  • Lead data analysis efforts to understand variations in public acceptability and opposition across different urban contexts, focusing on the determinants of individual attitudes toward urban mobility interventions.
Eligibility Criteria:
  • Academic record: PhD in geography, social sciences, or environmental sciences.
  • Prior work on mobility and transportation topics.
  • Academic excellence.
  • Research experience and publications.
  • Skills in GIS, Python, or R.
