deployment and testing.
VTTI seeks qualified and ambitious researchers with a strong background in either Engineering/Psychology with Lighting or Visibility specialization and Human Factors experience or Engineering/Statistics with safety analysis and/or transportation safety specialization including but not limited degrees in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Human Factors etc. The ideal candidate is an experienced researcher capable of supporting (as a research associate) or leading research projects (as a senior research associate) and working collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams to improve transportation safety through cutting edge research.
This position independently plans, schedules, conducts, or coordinates detailed tasks as part of major transportation lighting and infrastructure safety projects. Work performed involves engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional materials, and difficult coordination requirements. The ideal candidate will contribute to research conceptualization, proposal development, and resource acquisition as well as interact with sponsors, interprets findings, prepare reports, and present results. Work will be tailored to the experience of the candidate but will primarily focus on transportation safety projects that include lighting, visibility, signaling, signage, traffic safety, accident databases, safety modeling (including safety performance functions and crash mitigation factors), roadway design, intersection and pedestrian safety, traffic control/operation devices, driver behavior, traffic theory and human factors.
Position is open rank for either at the rank of Research Associate or Senior Research, and offer of rank will be determined based on the successful candidate's commensurate experience.
