About this position

This postdoctoral position is part of ROUTES – Reimagining Open Schoolyards and Urban Streets as Equitable Spaces, a Horizon Europe / New European Bauhaus project coordinated by Delft University of Technology. The project explores how transforming schoolyards and school streets into shared, equitable spaces can strengthen safety, social cohesion, active mobility, inclusivity, and well-being in neighborhood communities across Europe.

The postdoc will join the Department of Sustainable Design Engineering in the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering and work within the Urban Analytics Lab under the supervision of Dr. Achilleas Psyllidis. The role sits at the intersection of urban analytics, mobility, behavioral science, citizen science, and urban design, supporting a consortium of partners and pilot cities.

The main research contribution is the development and implementation of ROUTES’ monitoring and design evaluation framework. The successful candidate will help define metrics and indicators across spatial and temporal scales, develop harmonized data collection and analysis protocols, and support multi-site measurements in living laboratories. The work combines sensor-based data, behavioral mapping, and on-site observation to generate comparative insights on the impacts of schoolyard and street transformations.

Another important part of the position is the co-development of the ROUTES Atlas, an interactive tool intended to translate multi-site findings into accessible formats for cities and practitioners. The postdoc will collaborate closely with project partners and the pilot cities of Bratislava, Espoo, Rotterdam, and Tirana, contributing to project deliverables, reports, and scientific publications.

The broader research environment at TU Delft and IDE emphasizes design research, mobility, sustainability, and health, offering an international setting focused on evidence-based urban interventions and practical impact for policy and design.

What's required

A PhD in urban design, urban planning, transportation/mobility studies, geography, environmental psychology, urban data science, or a related field is required. Applicants should have experience with quantitative and qualitative monitoring, evaluation, and data collection/analysis in urban or built-environment contexts, spatial data analysis, GIS, sensor-based mobility data, or behavioral mapping methods, along with strong analytical and data-handling skills and experience integrating heterogeneous data sources. Excellent written and spoken English is required. Experience publishing in top-tier journals and conferences, working in an international interdisciplinary consortium, and disseminating research to non-academic audiences is advantageous. Willingness to travel occasionally to European pilot sites is also expected.

How to apply

Apply online via the AcademicTransfer application link by 4 December 2026. Include a CV with academic outputs, a cover letter, an executive summary of your PhD dissertation, and any relevant work examples such as data visualizations, code repositories, or data analyses.
