Title: Transportation Analyst/Researcher

Salary: €38,365

Job Summary
During your time in Athens you will work on developing an algorithm/model that incorporates user feedback, data analytics and transportation theory. Your work will be the foundation for a smartphone application that aims to predict, analyse, propose and model user movements in sequences of trips. We do not merely want to optimize movement from A to B, we want to make it faster, more pleasant and safer. As an engineer working with datasets, you probably have seen how these datasets relate to the system rather than the person. Currently, user feedback is a means for calibrating. What we believe is that user feedback is a means for extending and enriching the datasets. Only then can we transmit a meaningful message to the user and propose a better tour, based on his/her preferences.
What needs to be done
Develop a model for analysing and predicting tours while incorporating user feedback in pseudo real time (experimental) conditions for Public Transport
Design and perform a survey for acquiring user feedback
Data analytics and data fusion of public transport and user feedback datasets
Analyse the effectiveness of existing algorithms for tour planning, extend them or create new
Analyse travellers’ behaviour with respect to destination, route, mode and time choice
Conceptualize smart methods for obtaining user feedback in a smartphone application
What is perfect for the position
PhD in a field relevant to transportation, systems engineering, applied mathematics, data analytics (other fields will be considered)
Knowledge of transportation modelling and forecasting
Some background in programming (such as Matlab/Octave, Python)
Excellent knowledge of English
Has not worked or studied in Greece for more than 12 months in the past 3 years
A collaborative attitude and out-of-the-box thinking
What are my benefits
Working in a team with significant innovation potential that encourages and builds on “crazier-the-better” ideas
Extensive training program to improve entrepreneurial, academic and innovation skills
Participate in international conferences and publish scientific manuscripts
Receive practical and economical assistance for relocating to Greece
Insurance coverage and monthly transportation pass for Public Transport
