***A post-doctoral research associate is sought to contribute to the development of open-source transport modelling tools to support decision-makers in building policy and investment pipelines that support equitable low-carbon transport pathways in low
- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The post holder will work as part of the Decarbonising Transport workstream of the £38m Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) research programme, funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), with partner universities across the UK (University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University College London and Loughborough University) and with partner universities, research institutes and government agencies across an expanding network of CCG partner countries (presently Kenya, Zambia, Ghana, Vietnam, Laos and India).

Co-lead the development of an open-source modelling framework for studying transport transitions in low

- and middle-income countries.

Contribute to other pieces of work that arise as part of the Decarbonising Transport workstream in the Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) programme, including managing delivery of multiple projects with partner institutions.
Contribute to CCG-level events, including workshops and conferences in partner countries.
Publish research findings in internationally recognised scientific journals and policy briefs; disseminate through attendance at globally important conferences in the field.
