We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on Personalized Mobility as a Service, within CONNECT - the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Future Networks and Communications in collaboration with the E3 Kinsella SUMMIT (SUstainable MobIlity Models for a Just Transition) initiative. This project will investigate the development of a Mobility-as-a-Service platform to support the delivery of integrated and personalized mobility services at campus scale. The platform will support personalized on-demand travel with interfaces to transport providers, to support service delivery and provisioning, on one side and to individual users on the other side to offer journey planning and booking services. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to integrating and catalysing existing and new activity in this area into a larger initiative, including developing relationships with diverse stakeholders and preparing further research funding proposals. The position will be based in the CONNECT research centre at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The researcher will also be part of the School of Computer Science and Statistics in TCD. The position will be under the direction of Dr. Mélanie Bouroche. For informal inquiries please contact Melanie.Bouroche@tcd.ie. Candidates should submit a cover letter together with a full CV and contact details of 2 referees, preferably no later than the 30th of June 2022, via email to: Melanie.Bouroche@tcd.ie
