Job description
We envision a mobile cyber-physical system where people carrying mobile sensors (e.g., smartphones, smartcards) generate large amounts of trajectory data that is used to sense and monitor human interactions with physical and social environments. We seek to develop a causal artificial intelligence (AI) methodology to analyze and model human mobility behavior dynamics (decision-making) using individual travel trajectory data, and importantly develop the causal diagrams of human mobility behavior under disturbances that could help design effective strategies for sustainable and resilient urban mobility systems.
We are looking for a highly-qualified and motivated postdoc in getting hands-on research experience in the area of Transportation Behavior and Artificial Intelligence. The postdoc will join a research team at the Division of Transport Planning. The postdoc develops the causal AI methodology and mobility behavioral graph under interventions, works closely with the researchers specialising in mathematics, causal inference, machine learning, data analytics and transportation science.
What we offer
- A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
- Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
- Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
- Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
