About this position
KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting for European research initiatives at the School of Architecture and Built Environment in Stockholm, Sweden.
The main opening in this post is for 2 Postdoc positions (up to 2 years) in complementary research tracks: transport behaviour and behaviour change, energy and emissions, and transport emissions and health. The work focuses on building integrated modelling frameworks that connect transport activity, energy use, emissions, and health impacts. The projects involve deep learning, explainable AI (xAI), large-scale simulation, and diverse urban data sources, with direct collaboration with European cities to design monitoring frameworks and pilot evaluations.
The postdoctoral role is based at KTH and is aligned with sustainability, mobility planning, and transdisciplinary transport research. The Swedish job description states that applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in transport science, urban planning, data analysis, programming, or a closely related field. Strong programming skills, experience with data-driven simulation models and AI systems, ability to develop monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and excellent English are required. The post also values teaching/supervision experience, strong communication, creativity, critical thinking, and a collaborative, structured working style.
Application is via KTH’s recruitment system only. The deadline is 2026-07-22. Applicants should submit a CV, degree certificates and transcripts, translations if needed, a cover letter describing research interests and fit, and one peer-reviewed publication with a short explanation of its significance. The post mentions that the appointment is temporary and full-time, with up to 2 years of employment.
The same announcement also references a separate Research Engineer position in sustainable transport for up to 10 months, focused on transport, energy, emissions, data collection from partner cities, emissions calculations, and literature review.
