About the job
The Institute for Mobility of the University of St.Gallen (IMO-HSG) deals with future-oriented mobility solutions. At its core, it involves the ecological, economic, social, and behavioral investigation and classification of modern forms of mobility and the development of holistic mobility concepts. To this end, the IMO maintains a close-knit network with research institutions and mobility experts, especially from Europe as well as the USA and China. In addition, the IMO is closely connected with decision-makers from politics and business. This corresponds to the IMO's declared goal of constructively shaping the current mobility transition.
Your tasks

In your own area of responsibility, the primary focus will be on developing solution concepts (not the technical implementation). However, it is also possible that selected ideas arising from your research will be transferred into a technical implementation process with further cooperation partners.
