Transportation Research Group: Employment Opportunities

The Transportation Research Group (TRG) has a record of research spanning some 30 years supported by a team of 30 staff and postgraduate students from a range of disciplines. Funding of projects comes from a number of sources including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Department for Transport (DfT), the Highways Agency (HA), the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), London Transport, the European Commission (EC) and local authorities. This variety of funding sources provides the TRG with a portfolio of both fundamental and applied research across a number of project areas including: Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Integrated Transport Management; Driver Behaviour; Public Transport Priority; Driver Information and Route Choice; Traffic Safety; Freight; Traffic Management; Teleservices; Traveller Information; Managing Demand; and Planning and Policy. Many of the projects are collaborative with partners from industry and government both in the UK and overseas. TRG staff also run Masters and other courses in Transport.

Research Studentships
Several research studentships are available across TRG's range of interests. Funding sources include EPSRC, Government Agencies, Industry and the University. These are open to people of all disciplines with an interest in Transport. The new Engineering Doctorate Programme on Transport Knowledge and Systems Engineering is one of the exciting opportunities to research at the interface between Industry and Academia. Information on specific studentships is provided separately.
