Post-doc position on modelling of impaired micromobility riding

Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time

Approximately one in four e-scooterists seeking medical care after a crash is intoxicated. In Sweden, 20% of cyclists who die in traffic have alcohol above the permitted level. We have the technology to prevent these crashes with intelligent applications. However, for this technology to deliver the expected benefits, we need to understand the behavior of intoxicated riders and teach machines how to recognize it. Are you interested in helping save cyclist and e-scooterist lives?

Information about the Division and the Department
At our division, we apply human factors and engineering to better understand safety problems, find solutions, and assess their impact on safety. Specifically, within the research area of road user modeling, we develop computational models to support intelligent applications and automated driving. In the micromobility group, our research activities include computational modeling of rider and driver behavior and integrating these models into intelligent communication systems. This post-doc position will focus on modeling cyclists and e-scooterist behavior to support active safety applications.

Our mission is to understand the causes of crashes and how to prevent them, with a particular emphasis on technological solutions. Our research lies at the intersection of human factors and engineering and involves a broad network of transport stakeholders, such as road authorities, industry players, insurance agencies, and municipalities.

Major Responsibilities
- Conduct micromobility research, run experiments, perform data analysis, and report on intoxicated riding.
- Supervise master and PhD students, engage in teaching activities, and present research findings.
- Support the writing of research grants for micromobility and intoxicated riding.

Qualifications
To qualify for this position, you must:
- Hold a doctoral degree in engineering, awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline.
- Have excellent English language skills.
- Possess extensive experience in programming and modeling human behavior.
- Have experience in planning and executing controlled experiments.
- Have worked in computational rider modeling, time-series behavior data, or micromobility safety.

Cultural awareness, collaboration skills, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities are essential due to the multi-cultural work environment. As a post-doctoral fellow, you should be responsible, creative, and curious.

Contract Terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
