Salaries in the range: £29,800 to £42,830 per annum plus benefits
The Railway and Transport Strategy Centre (RTSC) at Imperial College London is a globally recognised applied research and consultancy group. We are a growing, multidisciplinary team combining people from industry, consultancy and academic backgrounds. The RTSC's primary activities are research and consultancy for international groups of metro, rail, light rail and bus operators.
We undertake detailed studies on topics of interest to operators, as well as annual performance data benchmarking. Recent research topics include fares and funding policy, driverless metros, whole life cost, and service planning. Our partners include over 90 public transport operators worldwide including Transport for London; we also work for governments and international institutions including the UK Department for Transport and the World Bank.
To support strong growth in existing and new research and consultancy markets, we are seeking to appoint into several positions as follows:
Research Analyst – Public Transport (equivalent to Consultant / Transport Planner or similar level), basic salary range £29,800 – £36,580 per annum (inclusive of discretionary increments) plus benefits
- Closing date for applications: 15th February
- Interviews provisionally scheduled for 22nd and 23rd February
- Vacancy reference number EN20160014FH
The posts involve carrying out research and consultancy projects for public transport providers, often using systematic comparisons between international public transport systems to generate advice and recommendations for their senior management. You will gain exposure to the many facets of railway, metro (subway), bus and/or light rail management at both a technical and strategic level, dealing directly with senior figures in the industry.
Due to the applied nature of the work and its industry focus, applications are strongly encouraged from practitioners and consultants in transport planning and operations; prior work in academia is not a prerequisite. Fluency in written and spoken English is required and an ability to speak foreign languages would be an advantage. The role typically involves international travel several times per year.
