About the Project

The ENHANCE project aims to enhance sustainable travel in small cities and outer metropolitan areas by promoting the 15-minute city concept. This concept encourages residents to have their most important services locally accessible through short walking, cycling, and public transport trips, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and creating healthier living environments.

Your Role

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to model travel behaviour in (sub)urban areas. You will work closely with researchers in London and Lisbon to develop a modelling environment that allows the development of future scenarios enhancing accessibility by providing transport infrastructure, adapting travel behaviour, or redeveloping the city.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop integrated high-resolution land-use transport interaction models to test different scenarios achieving 15mC objectives
  • Support planning practice at participating municipalities
  • Collaborate with researchers focusing on developing new GIS-based multi-modal composite accessibility indicators and analysing travel behaviour of different societal groups

Requirements

  • PhD in Spatial data science, Land-use and transport modelling, Travel behaviour analysis, or a similar field
  • Proven experience with spatial modelling of land use and transport interactions
  • Strong quantitative methodological skills in handling detailed spatial data
  • Thorough understanding of empirical (behavioural) research
  • Strong interest in supporting spatial planning practice

What We Offer

A challenging position in a socially engaged organisation. At VU Amsterdam, you contribute to education, research, and service for a better world. We offer a salary of minimum € 3,000 and maximum € 4,000 gross per month, on a full-time basis, and a position for at least 0.8 FTE.
