Postdoc in Intelligent Transportation System Modeling and Optimization

2 days ago


Göteborg, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

We offer a great opportunity for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team working at the forefront of intelligent transport systems. Based with a beautiful Nordic city, you will benefit from a competitive salary, a collaborative work environment, and strong ties to both academia and industry.

Chalmers is a great university for young researchers to grow, with ample opportunities for skill and career development. The team can also offer opportunities in teaching, supervision, and proposal writing for your career development.

Project overview
This position is fully funded but not tied to any specific project. This provides great flexibility, allowing you to define your own research, as long as the quality is there. You will work with a passionate and ambitious team focused on improving the efficiency and sustainability of future transport systems. We are interested in topics including but not limited to:

• Connected and automated vehicles
• Shared mobility (e.g., ride-hailing and micromobility)
• Traffic control
• Transport system electrification
• Any other topics in ITS that you think fascinating.

We hope you are a self-motivated and ambitious researcher, who values quality over quantity. We will prioritize candidates who have 1) top-tier publications (published, accepted, or under review), 2) experience in optimization or machine learning. It is a plus if you are already an independent researcher or are growing into one. Therefore, you are required to submit a research statement where you describe not only your previous research but also your research plan during the postdoc.

English is the working language, so the candidate is expected to have strong communication skills in English, both oral and written. You will carry out research within the research area of urban mobility systems, at Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

Main responsibilities
The major responsibility of the postdoc is to conduct research, but you will be expected to contribute to the education, such as teaching and supervision (a minor percentage of your time). You are also expected to join group activities (such as research meetings), so you should work efficiently both independently and in collaboration with a team.

Qualifications
The applicant should have a PhD degree in transport, operations research, applied mathematics, computer science, or similar topics. Experience with optimization, data-driven or machine-learning skills are meritorious.

The candidate must have the PhD degree in hand before enrollment, but it is not required during the application. This means graduating PhD students are also welcome to apply for the position, but we expect the candidate to join us in the autumn of 2025 or earlier, with some flexibilities. Candidates who received their PhD degree within the last three years will be prioritized.

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years, with the possibility of extending it to three years conditional to finance.

What we offer
Chalmers provides a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.

Chalmers aims to actively improve our gender balance. We work broadly with equality projects, for example the GENIE Initiative on gender equality for excellence. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.

Application procedure

CV: (Please name the document as: CV, Surname) including:
• CV, include a complete list of publications
• Previous teaching and pedagogical experiences
• Two references that we can contact.

Personal letter: (Please name the document as: Personal letter, Family name)
1-3 pages where you:
• Introduce yourself
• Describe your previous research and main research results
• Describe your future career goals and why us

Research Statement: (Please name the document as: Research Statement, Family name)
1-3 pages where you describe future research plan during the postdoc.

Other documents:
• Attested copies of completed education, grades and other certificates.
