Transport Visiting Fellowship Program
Overview
The Transport Visiting Fellowship Program provides industry experience to final year PhD students and recent graduates.
Our vision is to provide a healthy, sustainable and integrated transport system for passenger and freight journeys across NSW.
To achieve this vision, we are looking for specialist and technical expertise across a range of cutting-edge projects. Projects vary, but are aligned to our Future Transport Strategy and the Transport Technology Strategy.
Roles are filled on a temporary full/part time basis, for 3-6 months depending on project requirements. Positions are based in Sydney (flexibility offered).
You would collaborate closely with colleagues, other industry partners and wider cluster staff to create solutions supporting our strategic plans and provide information and advice to the cluster.
If you have a desire to be close to the action and play a part in providing research supporting and informing decision making for the transport system, this could be the role for you.
