You will have a PhD in Transport Management (or relevant subject). You will also be expected to publish at the highest level and be successful with significant income generation (e.g. research funding, consulting). The successful candidate will contribute to our graduate (MSc) and executive programmes. 

At Cranfield, we value Diversity and Inclusion, and aim to create and maintain a culture in which everyone can work and study together harmoniously with dignity and respect and realise their full potential. We actively consider flexible working options such as part-time, compressed or flexible hours and/or an element of homeworking, and commit to exploring the possibilities for each role.
