    Brief

    ScITech is offering match funding support for two PhD positions within the INFUZE programme, a £7.8 million UKRI-funded initiative led by Leeds University. This research programme focuses on decarbonisation and behaviour change in transport systems, specifically exploring how to transition from individual car-based mobility to on-demand mobility services aligned with zero-carbon goals. The INFUZE programme aims to develop new participatory mobility science approaches and create data-enabled decision tools to identify opportunities for emerging mobility service systems. Successful projects will generate academic publications and PhD theses, potentially shaping future smart mobility investments and the design of shared mobility assets. Researchers should have expertise in transport systems, behaviour change, or related fields, with research objectives that align with ScITech's priorities in sustainable mobility innovation.
