Successful applicants will contribute to a research program that explores the intersection of human behavior, urban design, technology, and livability. The program tackles critical questions about how cities shape people's behaviors and, in turn, how cities should be designed to better serve their inhabitants.

  • Conduct quantitative and/or qualitative data analyses
  • Assist in the preparation of manuscripts and reports for publications
  • Collaborate and communicate research updates with both internal and external stakeholders

The Centre may, at its discretion, assign additional responsibilities from time to time, such as teaching or other duties aligned with the Centre's needs, without adjusting your appointment grade or title.

Skills and qualifications required:

  • Bachelors or postgraduate degree (MA, MSc or equivalent) related to the social sciences or behavioural sciences (e.g., Psychology, Behavioral Economics, Urban Studies, or related disciplines)
  • Demonstrable skills in quantitative and/or qualitative data collection and analysis
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong organizational and data management skills
  • Proficiency with statistical software (e.g., R, STATA, SPSS, MPlus) is a plus
