The College of Engineering – Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT) at the University of California, Riverside, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to join our Transportation Systems Research (TSR) group in conducting research related to sustainable freight transportation technologies. Candidates with knowledge and research experience in freight travel demand modeling, vehicle scheduling and routing, vehicle energy and emissions modeling, geospatial data analysis, advanced optimization, machine learning, and high performance computing, are encouraged to apply.
The TSR group consists of a multidisciplinary team of more than 20 faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students, and staff engineers. We conduct research in the areas of advanced vehicles and intelligent transportation systems with a focus on developing and evaluating technologies that improve the travel and energy efficiencies as well as reduce the environmental impact of transportation activities. Several recent and current research projects involve the development of novel sustainable freight transportation technologies, all the way from conceptualization to design, simulation, prototyping, and real-world demonstration.
Specific activities of the successful candidate may include:
• Develop new vehicle scheduling and routing techniques and evaluate their effectiveness
• Model energy, emissions, and air quality impacts of freight movement
• Conduct field testing of new vehicle scheduling and routing techniques
• Perform mining, analysis, visualization, and interpretation of vehicle activity big data
• Assist in producing high-quality publications, reports, and research proposals
• Support additional related research projects as needed
