5 dagen geleden


Groningen, Nederland Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Voltijd

ΜΟΒΙ-TWIN is a Horizon Europe project that investigates the mobility implications of the twin (Green and Digital) transition in the European Union. It builds on the idea that twin transition affects regional attractiveness - or otherwise, the drivers of human mobility

The post-doctoral researcher will mostly work on tasks that are part of MOBI-TWIN work package 3 (Assessing the impact of spatial mobility on EU regions) led by Professor Dimitris Ballas and comprising an international team of researchers across Europe (and especially the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Polytechnic University of Milan, the University of Helsinki, the University of Barcelona and the Athens Regional Development Institute). In addition to Prof Dimitris Ballas, the University of Groningen team of researchers includes Dr Wander Jager, Dr Richard Rijnks, Dr Thanasis Ziogas and Sissal Dahl.

You will be based in the Faculty of Spatial Sciences and will be responsible for liaising with relevant partners and for collecting and analyzing suitable datasets as well as for developing spatial microsimulation models (and links to agent-based models that are also developed as part of this project). You will also take the lead in the analysis of model outputs and writing up the results as scientific manuscripts.
