Research Assistant in Urban Mobility

The Transport Studies Unit (TSU) is seeking a motivated and proactive Research
Assistant to contribute to a dynamic and expanding research programme.





As part of our team, you will play an integral role in supporting innovative
research activities, assisting in literature reviews, qualitative data
analysis (using NVivo or equivalent), and contributing to the dissemination of
findings through publications and conferences.





You will also support a range of knowledge exchange and impact activities
targeting policymakers, industry, and other key stakeholders.





The Transport Studies Unit (TSU) is a centre of global excellence in research,
engagement and education in transport and mobilities. The TSU hopes to inspire
and inform change towards more sustainable and just transport systems through
better understanding of how people and goods move.





Based within the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of
Oxford, the TSU approaches global transport and mobility challenges from
interdisciplinary perspectives with a strong grounding in geography and the
social sciences. Its research is organised within four broad themes: energy,
climate and environment; health and wellbeing; everyday life and justice; and
politics, power and governance.





The post holder will support ongoing TSU research that is focused on one or
more of those four themes. They will work on different projects and activities
overseen by senior TSU colleagues and using qualitative approaches and
methods.
