Job Summary

This role is part of the 'AirMetro' Research Training Group at TUD Dresden University of Technology, focusing on the system-level impact of Innovative Air Mobility (IAM). As a PhD researcher, you will utilize agent-based transport simulations, specifically the MATSim framework, to analyze how highly automated air transport affects urban travel behavior. Your day-to-day work involves extending behavioral choice dimensions in simulation models, incorporating destination and mode choice to distinguish between induced demand and shifts from existing transport modes. This position is highly attractive for researchers seeking an interdisciplinary environment, offering structured doctoral training with international mentorship from experts in the USA, Asia, and Europe. You will contribute to solving the ecological, economic, and technological challenges of 21st-century mobility within a globally oriented 'University of Excellence'.
