Contract type: Fixed term contract Fixed Term Period: For 24 months Salary: Full time starting salary is normally in the range of £37,897 per annum Apply by: 18/05/2026 Role Description We welcome applications from passionate and skilled researchers to join our team in the Centre for Digital and Design Engineering, contributing to the EPSRC-funded TransiT project, focused on Digital Twinning Technologies for Transport Decarbonisation. About the Role We are looking for a Research Fellow to help develop new digital tools, including digital models, shadows and twins, that reduce carbon emissions in transport. Working with a wide range of experts from universities and industries across the UK, you will help create a “digital twinning” system that links air and road systems to support cleaner, more efficient and cost-effective logistics. The role involves building computer simulations and digital infrastructure using right-time data to test low-carbon and green technologies, and to provide evidence to guide future transport and energy planning. This position offers the chance to make a real contribution to the UK’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. About You Applicants should have a doctorate degree or equivalent (PhD/EngD) in Engineering, Manufacturing, Transport, Computer Science, Data Science, Sustainability, or a closely related subject, or be close to completing their qualification. They should have experience in systems engineering, simulation, digital modelling, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or digital twin (model, shadow, twin) technologies, with an understanding of how these can be applied to transport or logistics systems. Strong technical and analytical skills are required, including experience using simulation or programming tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, MATSim, AnyLogic, or Python. Applicants should also have a good knowledge of decarbonisation and sustainability principles in transport, energy systems or manufacturing. Excellent communication, teamwork, and time management skills are essential, along with the ability to manage research activities and present finding clearly. Experience working on collaborative research projects with both academic and industry partners, or through funded research programmes, would be an advantage.
