MOIA is looking for a working student | November 2025
MOIA’s Mobility Consulting team combines mobility research, empirical data, models and simulations to provide a comprehensive understanding of our ride-pooling service in Hamburg and beyond. We use diverse (open) data and state-of-the-art technologies to define the mid- and long-term development of MOIA in the mobility system.
We are looking for a candidate who will help us improve, extend or apply our MATSim-based simulation pipelines and tools. For more information visit here (Berlin) or here (Hamburg)
We are also accepting students based in Munich.

Researcher/PhD position: Modeling active mobility (cycling and walking) in MATSim
Are you interested in transport models and simulations, in particular MATSim?
Would you like to take care that active mobility (cycling and walking) can be better and more realistically captured in large-scale transport simulation?
Are you confident in processing mobility data and programing, and would you like to do a PhD in agent-based modeling of cycling and walking?
Then please have a look at our new Researcher/PhD position at the DLR Institute of Transport Research in Berlin within the scope of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center AgiMo (Data-drive agile planning for responsible mobility).

TU Braunschweig is hiring two PhD researchers
The Institute of Transportation and Urban Engineering (IVS) at Technische Universität Braunschweig is currently offering two fully funded PhD positions focusing on simulation-based analysis using MATSim. Each position addresses a distinct research topic related to future transport systems:
1. Agent-Based Simulation of Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) in Rural Areas
This position focuses on modeling and evaluating flexible, demand-responsive public transport services in rural and peri-urban contexts. MATSim is used to simulate how DRT systems, possibly operated with automated vehicles, can be integrated into public transport networks in order to improve accessibility and sustainability. The project involves close collaboration with local and regional transport authorities to ensure practical relevance and real-world applicability of the findings.
2. Agent-Based Simulation of Integrated Passenger and Freight Transport Systems
As part of the newly established interdisciplinary research group ReSpace! – Connected Response-able Spaces and Infrastructures for Sustainable Living at TU Braunschweig, this project focuses on the agent-based simulation of future transport systems that integrate passenger and freight flows. ReSpace! is part of the “Ecoversity” initiative and funded by zukunft.niedersachsen, a joint program of the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony and the VolkswagenStiftung. Using MATSim, the research investigates how multifunctional hubs, modular vehicle fleets, and digitally connected infrastructures can enable dynamic coordination strategies to improve efficiency, accessibility, and resilience under conditions of climate change and spatial constraints.
Application deadline: August 2025
