Join to apply for the Junior Research Engineer (f/m/d) for Sustainable Mobility & Transport Modeling role at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
As Austria's largest research and technology organisation for applied research, we have set ourselves the goal of making substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitalisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.
The Competence Unit Digital Resilient Cities, part of the Center for Energysupports cities and their stakeholders in the cross-sectoral transformation process, combining expertise in climate, energy, mobility, and urban planning. With the aim of creating climate-neutral, competitive, and sustainable living spaces, we develop and integrate state-of-the-art evidence-based analysis and simulation tools for sustainable transportation, systemic urban transformation, as well as for the concrete planning and management of neighborhood and building solutions.
Our research group "Urban Development & Mobility Transformation" focuses on researching and applying innovative tools and methods for sustainable urban development and the integrated planning of mobility systems. For our location in Vienna we are seeking a:
CENTER FOR ENERGY
* You will conduct research on data-driven approaches for modeling, analysis, and decision-making in multimodal passenger mobility, apply these in an international project environment, and interact with our City Intelligence Lab .
* Within the scope of research projects, you will work with team members on the technical implementation and further development of transport models, both supply- and demand-side, using in-house and established commercial software tools.
* You will explore innovative solutions for impact analysis of new mobility concepts (e.g., Mobility-as-a-Service, demand-responsive transport, autonomous driving) and model movements of people in multimodal mobility systems, including model calibration based on extensive data (survey and sensor data).
* You will actively contribute to the implementation and software development of data-driven methods for the analysis, visualisation, and modeling of mobility behavior.
* You will be responsible for the implementation of specific tasks within our project work, including coordination of smaller assignments within the team.
* You will support project acquisition efforts for co-funded research projects and commissioned projects from industry/public sector by preparing technical contributions for proposals and participating in client meetings in a technical capacity.
Your Qualifications As An Ingenious Partner
* Completed technical Master’s degree in the field of data science, computer science, applied mathematics, transport planning, civil engineering, mobility management, or related disciplines.
* Good knowledge of software development, especially in data analysis in Python (e.g., Pandas, NumPy), visualisation (e.g., Matplotlib, Plotly), and possibly simulation.
* Interest in quantitative methods, statistics, data analysis, mobility modeling, and digital tools, and their application in international planning and research projects.
* Initial experience (e.g., through internships or academic projects) in transport modeling or mobility research “qualitative methods” is advantageous.
* Experience with transport modeling tools such as MATSim, SUMO, or PTV products (VISSIM, VISUM) is a plus.
* Excellent English skills (spoken and written) are mandatory. Proficiency in German is not required but strongly preferred. Strong presentation skills and international travel readiness are also important.
What To Expect
The minimum gross annual salary on a full-time basis (38,5 h / week) according to the collective agreement is EUR 55.482,--. The actual salary will be determined individually, based on your qualifications and experience. In addition, we offer company benefits, flexible working conditions, individual training and career opportunities.
At AIT diversity and inclusion are of great importance. This is why we strive to inspire women to join our teams in the field of technology. We welcome applications from women, who will be given preference in case of equal qualifications after taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances of all applications.
Please submit your complete application documents including your CV, cover letter and certificates online.
