jobbeskrivelse:
DTU Transport is the largest transport research institution in Denmark, and one of the largest university based transport research departments in Europe. The research at the department lies broadly within the transport domain based on different methodological disciplines. The research is applied in teaching, public sector consultancy and innovation all with the aim to benefit society. Applied Microeconomics plays a significant role in both the department’s teaching and research based support of the Danish Ministry of Transport within evaluation of transport policies and effects of regulation. Responsibilities and tasks The position involves project based research at an international level and teaching.

The research in the Applied Microeconomics theme has close relations to the departments’ other research themes, in particular to transport modelling, appraisal methods and governance. The teaching involves teaching and supervision at all university levels. The MSc and PhD studies at DTU Transport are taught in English, whereas the BSc and Diploma studies are taught in Danish.
