PhD Research Assistantships in Mobility Analytics and Transport Modeling

The Mobility Analytics Research Group (MARG) in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for two doctoral research assistantship positions in the area of mobility analytics and travel behavior modeling. We are looking for highly motivated and committed students with a passion for research in transportation systems analysis. The positions begin January 2017, and require that the students be selected for entry into the PhD program at Arizona State University. The selected candidates are expected to engage in cutting edge research in the areas of travel behavior analysis, integrated microsimulation models of travel demand, transport energy consumption, transport policy evaluation, impacts of transformative and disruptive transportation technologies on travel behavior, travel survey methods, data mining, and quantitative analysis. The successful candidates will work under the supervision of Professor Ram Pendyala and Dr. Venu Garikapati. The assistantships come with a full tuition waiver and a monthly stipend. Interested candidates should submit an online application via the ASU Graduate Application portal (see ssebe.engineering.asu.edu/prospective-students/gradapp.html).
