The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has granted the research proposal 'On the Move: Transition towards Sustainable Mobility'. Together with public and private partners, Radboud University (RU) and Delft University of Technology (DUT) plan to study transition strategies towards a sustainable mobility system. The grant enables two PhD positions and one postdoctoral position at RU and two PhD positions at DUT.
Two PhD Positions
Radboud University is looking for two PhD candidates to be appointed at the Nijmegen School of Management (NSM):
1. Project: Consumers on the move, Supervised by Dr G. de Vries (DUT), Prof. R. van der Heijden (RU) and Dr F. Bekius (RU).
Brief description: Travel behaviour results from travellers’ or commercial drivers' capabilities and contextual factors. These are partly influenced by governmental decisions. Therefore, public decision makers increasingly seek the active involvement of commercial firms and the public to co-decide on sustainable mobility strategies. This project takes the challenge to develop and test effective strategies to organise and benefit from such government-consumer interactions.
2. Project: Uncertainty management in mobility innovations, Supervised by Dr W. Veeneman (DUT), Dr S. Ritter (RU) and Prof. V. Marchau (RU).
Brief description: The interplay between governments, mobility providers and innovators is crucial for sustainable mobility. Key actors develop new services, interacting with the positions and intentions of the other stakeholders and changing external conditions. This project studies different ways to support stakeholders to recognise and overcome uncertainty in key areas, and to allow them to innovate in a synergetic way by aligning the innovative power of the sector with crucial public values.
