Posted on behalf of Joerg Schweizer. Note that the initial deadline is 2nd 
August.

************************************************************************

Transport  Research position at University of Bologna, Italy, starting in
September  2010

Dear Colleagues,

We are immediately hiring  staff for a research position with a duration
of maximum 3 years.

The  general research topic is on modeling car-free living, soft-modes,
public  transport and how it may change long-term land-use and the
economy. 

A  large part of the work will be dedicated to a project of the central
European  programme called "BICY" (www.bicy.it). The main task for this
project  will be to coordinate mobility surveys and to evaluate the
efficiency  of bicycle infrastructure. Another task will be to follow and
manage  the project as partner. Clearly, this means report-writing and
attending  relevant meetings and workshops. 

Requirements for job  application are:
- PhD in engineering science or economy, 
  or 3  years of specialization (Master). 
- 2 years of professional  experience or research 
  (documentation/publications)
- Perfect  English in spoken and written 
  (Italian would be helpful but is not  necessary)

The candidate should ideally have skills in the  following:
- Knowledge in statistical data analyses, LUTI models, 
   economic background
- Experience/knowledge of bicycle projects or  planning or evaluation
- Experience with international/EU projects, 
   report writing, etc 
- Experience with software and programming in  the field of
  transport 

We also prefer candidates who live  in countries/cities with a
"reasonable" bicycle culture.

The  project has officially started in March 2010 and has a duration of
three  years. Work contract is approximately 1500EUR/month net salary and
is  to be renewed each year. For applicants without PhD, there is also
the  possibility to attend the doctoral programme for free in order to
develop  a PhD thesis on the research topic.

If you are interested please  send your CV including a list of
publications to: joerg.schweizer-i2gVluI4aiz85LLnhfSrOV6hYfS7NtTn@public.gmane.org  
by 02/08/2010. 
As the formal application (deadline by the  end of August) requires some
efforts from your side (official  translation of titles in Italian,
recognition etc.) I have decided to  make a pre-selection by 03/08/2010.
I think this is in your interest  as it prevents you from wasting your
time.

With kind regards,


Joerg  Schweizer
