Milling Machine Operator (M/F)
Job Duties
Work in EU projects developing next-generation models for forecasting transport, emissions, and health by integrating deep learning, xAI, and various data sources such as traffic sensors, travel card data, and behavioral surveys. You will work directly with several municipalities and regions to design, implement, and further develop monitoring and evaluation protocols, including monitoring frameworks for pilot activities, to ensure that analytical results align with local needs and operational conditions.
The role also involves contributing to project management, preparing reports, supervising research engineers, and collaborating closely with other project members.
The two positions will contribute to complementary but distinct research directions:
Transport, energy, and emissions This direction focuses on modeling and forecasting how transport activity interacts with energy use and emissions over time. Transport emissions and health This direction focuses on understanding and forecasting the health consequences of transport-related emissions.
In both positions, the overall ambition is to further develop large-scale transport simulation models into next-generation transdisciplinary models that integrate energy, emission, and health models, enabling comprehensive and long-term impact assessments.
