Location: Lyngby - Denmark
Salary: Based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations

Contract Type: Permanent, Fixed-Term/Contract

We are pleased to announce an opportunity for a distinguished scholar to join the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) as an Associate Professor or Assistant Professor (tenure-track) within the Transportation Science Division at the Department of Technology, Management and Economics – in short DTU Management.  

The position offers a unique platform to conduct pioneering research in Human Mobility while joining DTU’s broader ecosystem of technological knowledge and innovation with the transportation sector.  

The Transportation Science Division has a strong domain knowledge of the transport sector and mobility, and is, with its broad coverage of disciplines, an internationally outstanding unit in the field of transportation science. We deliver ground-breaking fundamental research as well as research-based insights and tools for policymakers and industry professionals. We have close collaboration with other research communities nationally and internationally, and with Danish Authorities. This includes a large on-going contract with the Ministry of Transport, where we carry out policy support to solve the great challenges in the transport sector.  

The overreaching focus of the position is the importance of understanding human mobility and behaviour when planning and operating transportation systems and formulating policies and regulations. Human behaviour is embedded in our research on transport systems and mobility prediction models. Our research creates a foundation for policy support related to a variety of challenges in the sector such as the green transition, mobility for all user groups, congestion and challenged land use particularly in large cities; equity, safety, and risk; and derived negative externalities of transport. 

The division is interdisciplinary with scholars originating from transportation engineering, economics, psychology, computer science, social data science, machine learning, mathematics, and statistics. 

As a candidate, you should have a high potential for creative and independent research, willingness to collaborate and interact with other researchers, the ability to teach courses at different levels, to engage in scientific advice and to disseminate research in seminars, conferences, and in the classroom. 

We offer an international research environment with a collegial, team-oriented research environment in an elite university based in the Greater Copenhagen area. We have good opportunities for collaboration, supervision, and co-supervision of graduate students and attractive teaching conditions. 

Denmark offers abundant funding opportunities for leading edge research from its many private and public research foundations. To support the obtaining of funding, DTU and the department provide highly specialized and individual funding support and guidance depending on your needs and where you are in your career. 

Furthermore, Denmark is one of the countries in the world with the highest degree of digitalization, and hence researchers have access to unique longitudinal datasets on households, companies, transport behaviour, etc. DTU has a close collaboration with public authorities, which secures both impacts of research and access to surveys, experimental and register data. 

The position is full-time and based at DTU Lyngby campus, just north of Copenhagen. Copenhagen is renowned around the world for its relaxed atmosphere, fantastic restaurants, festivities, and high quality of life, being number one on the 2025 Global City quality of life index.
