Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is the result of the merger of the University of Karlsruhe and the Research Centre, Karlsruhe. It is a unique institution in Germany, which combines the mission of a university with that of a large-scale research centre of the Helmholtz Association. With 8000 employees and an annual budget of EUR 650 million, KIT is one of the largest research and education institutions worldwide.
The European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER), a non-profit research organisation, established by EDF and KIT, and located in Karlsruhe is currently looking for a
Research Fellow
in the field of transport simulation and mobility studies
In the research group “Energy Planning and Geosimulation”, solutions for the simulation of mobility concepts are developed and applied for the urban context. The links with other sectors will be a key feature of the tested approaches.
The assigned tasks involve
Analysis of urban mobility concepts and development of solutions to answer to the needs of cities
Development of models to investigate links between energy and transport in an urban context
Collaboration in international projects with partners from academia and industry
Document writing and editing in English
Required qualifications are
Master’s degree or equivalent in transport or urban planning
first professional experience in the field of urbanism, transport management, energy issues with a simulation component
Proven working knowledge of transport modelling and simulation solutions
Basic knowledge in GIS (Arc GIS) is an advantage
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, good skills in either German or French
The applicants should enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary team.
The duration of the position is two years, starting as soon as possible. The salary is based on qualification and experience according to TV-L E13 (100 %)
KIT is pursuing a gender equality policy. Women are therefore particularly encouraged to apply. If qualified, handicapped applicants will be preferred.
