Short description of the position/project:
We are seeking a trainee researcher (i.e. master’s degree either under development or achieved by less than 1 year) to join the Institute for Regional Development, with a working focus on transport planning and mobility research. The position aims to support our research on the analysis of (rural) transport accessibility and the understanding of rural mobility patterns. The successful candidate will support the Regional Development team in the implementation of one local project. The duration of the internship is at least 6 months and up to 10 months (to be agreed upon with the candidate).

To this end, the project will analyse available secondary data, will collect additional primary data,



and will derive estimates.
- Other projects: Support the institute's team in the implementation of other ongoing projects (if and when needed). Such projects typically regard (rural) passenger mobility and local or EU level. Relevant ongoing projects include RECCAM, CLOSING THE GAP, YOUTH4MOBILIT, iMONITRAF.

Requirements:
- Bachelor/master’s degree in transport-relevant disciplines (such as engineering or spatial planning), ideally with a focus on travel demand analysis, monitoring and estimation (relevant for the Passeiertal project).
- Hard skills: Good command of transport demand models, survey/statistical tools, and techniques to set up travel demand surveys and primary data collection campaigns (relevant for the Passeiertal project).
- Soft skills: Strong communication skills and ability to work in international, multidisciplinary teams with a positive and curious mindset. Interest in rura
