Postdoctoral Researchers in AI and Urban Mobility at UF

Exciting Opportunity: Hiring Two Postdocs at the University of Florida (AI & Urban Mobility)

The Urban AI Lab in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, along with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida (UFL) is hiring two Postdoctoral Researchers, who can contribute to our cutting-edge research in developing adaptive mobility services using artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-level connected and automated mobility systems. We are looking for expertise in travel demand analysis, deep learning, graph neural networks, spatiotemporal modeling, emerging mobility, community engagement, and survey design. This project is a collaborative effort involving prestigious institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Florida (UFL), and Northeastern University (NEU), among many others. The project seeks to address mobility challenges in accessing critical healthcare destinations by leveraging AI techniques to provide adaptive and equitable mobility services to low-income communities.
