Research Associate

Job Objective 

The submit holder will play an integral position inside the UKs Nationwide Analysis Hub for Decarbonised Adaptable and Resilient Transport Infrastructures (DARe). The imaginative and prescient of DARe is for local weather resilient, internet zero improvement of the transport system to be guided by programs evaluation. When this imaginative and prescient is realised, decision-makers can have entry to (and visualisation of) information that tells them how transport is performing in opposition to resilience, decarbonisation, and different targets, now and sooner or later. We are going to ship them programs fashions that may assist to pinpoint vulnerabilities and quantify the dangers of failure. It will allow them to carry out ‘what-if’ evaluation of proposed investments and to stress-test eventualities for the most important uncertainties that may decide the efficiency of future transport programs, similar to inhabitants development, new supplies and applied sciences and local weather change.

The analysis programme will take a system-of-systems led method to move which recognises and addresses the challenges on the three, distinct however critically interlinked, scales of nationwide, regional and native. It would tackle the interwoven challenges of resilience and internet zero, for each current and new transport infrastructures, and determine and supply options for brand new vulnerabilities that will happen due to the online zero transition, together with crucial interdependencies with digital and energy infrastructures.

The position on the College of Glasgow, working intently with colleagues at Newcastle College, Heriot-Watt and College of Cambridge, and co-creating options with our pan-UK community of stakeholders, might be to programs of programs evaluation of the transport-energy nexus. Utilizing strategies from complicated adaptive programs and ontologies, and leveraging ICT/Cyber Bodily Infrastructure, we are going to create new networks of fashions that permit us to grasp the resilience, efficiency and decarbonisation pathways of adaptive and resilient transport infrastructure.
