The Department of Systems and Control Engineering at the University of Malta is seeking prospective candidates interested in developing a competitive Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) proposal for the 2027 call.

The proposed research area focuses on the use of advanced data-driven and artificial intelligence methods to address challenges related to road safety, sustainable mobility and transport systems. Candidates will be encouraged to develop an original and innovative research proposal aligned with their expertise and with the broader research interests of the host.

Malta provides an interesting living laboratory for investigating transport challenges within a dense, small-island and urban environment. Opportunities exist to work with and integrate different sources of transport, mobility, environmental, socioeconomic and geospatial data.

The ideal candidate should hold a PhD in engineering, transport, computer science, data science, applied mathematics or a related discipline, with experience in quantitative modelling, machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistics, optimisation, GIS or transport analysis. Strong programming and analytical skills would be advantageous.

The selected candidate will work with researchers at the University of Malta to jointly develop the MSCA-PF proposal, including the research methodology, training programme, impact pathway, dissemination strategy and career-development plan.

Expression of Interest

Interested candidates should submit the following to luana.chetcuti@um.edu.mt:

a CV, including a list of relevant publications;
a brief description of their research interests; and
a short (approximately 1–2 page) outline of their proposed research idea and how it relates to the broad research theme described above.

Deadline for expressions of interest: 31 January 2027.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted to discuss the development of a joint MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal with the University of Malta for submission to the 2027 MSCA-PF call.
