Join an ambitious international research collaboration rethinking urban mobility and logistics for more inclusive cities. The Transport Studies Unit (TSU) is seeking an early-career researcher to work on the UKRI-funded project INCLUCity+: Youth and Logistics Integration in the 15-Minute City, led by Dr Debbie Hopkins. Opportunity closes: 25 March 2026.
This interdisciplinary project brings together partners in the UK, Norway, the Netherlands and France, alongside municipalities and industry collaborators, to explore how logistics can be better integrated into proximity-based urbanism. The UK case study focuses on Bristol’s low-traffic neighbourhoods, critically examining how logistics is embedded in urban planning and how more equitable transitions can be achieved.
You will play a central role in delivering the Bristol case study, conducting qualitative fieldwork including interviews, focus groups and co-creation workshops, and engaging with local authorities, civil society, and private-sector actors. You will analyse the justice dimensions of urban logistics, contribute to cross-national collaboration, publish in leading journals, and participate in knowledge exchange and public engagement activities. Some travel to Bristol and occasional international travel will be required.
