Technische Universität Dresden - “Friedrich List” Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, Institute of Transport Planning and Road Traffic, Chair of Mobility System Planning

TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation and active participation.
The Chair of Mobility System Planning is located at the “Friedrich List” Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences. It is engaged in research and teaching in the three research fields of Mobility Behavior, Integrated Planning and Traffic Safety, as well as Mobility Modeling and Simulation. Research topics range from conceptual issues of strategic planning to small-scale analyses of specific street spaces. The chair’s methodological focus is on the empirical analysis of mobility behavior, the application of agent-based models and road space analysis, particularly for road safety. Research on walking and cycling as a cross-cutting issue has a high priority in all three fields of research.
For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.
