【教授本人】佛罗里达大学-交通工程-博士后（Spring/Summer 2025)/博士 (Fall 2025)
4370
Postdoc Scholar Position
We are looking for an energetic postdoc scholar to join the lab in Spring or Summer 2025. In this position, you will work on projects related to public transit and sustainable transportation systems (e.g., bicycles, EVs, and shared mobility), funded by NSF, USDOT, and FDOT. You are expected to conduct independent research, supervise graduate and undergraduate students, contribute to teaching and research proposals, and perform project management.
The ideal candidate should have solid data analysis and programming (e.g., Python/R) skills and a strong background in statistical learning (statistics/econometrics or machine learning/AI). We welcome applicants from various educational backgrounds, including but not limited to, civil/transportation engineering, geography, computer science, statistics, and urban planning.
The position offers a competitive salary and benefits. This is a one-year appointment with the potential of extending to two to three years. If you are interested, please submit your complete CV, a short cover letter outlining your interests, and a research statement (up to 2 pages) to me ([email protected]). The search for this position is ongoing.
PhD Student Positions
We are recruiting 1-2 fully-funded PhD students to join the Transportation Engineering program at the University of Florida for the Fall 2025 semester. Qualified candidates should have solid data analysis and programming (e.g., Python/R) skills and a strong interest in applying these skills to understand and solve transportation and urban issues. Students with knowledge in statistics/econometrics, machine learning/AI, and GIS are especially encouraged to apply. We welcome students from various educational backgrounds, including but not limited to, civil/transportation engineering, geography, computer science, statistics, and urban planning.
The successful candidates are expected to study one or more of the following topics (or related topics that fit their own interests):
; AI/ML and big data applications in transportation
; Multimodal transportation (e.g., public transit, shared mobility, and micromobility)
; E-mobility (e-bikes, electric cars, e-scooters, and e-buses)
; Spatial accessibility to essential destinations such as food and healthcare
The successful candidates will work as graduate research assistants in our lab. We provide a highly competitive stipend and opportunities to collaborate with leading researchers around the world. To express your interest in joining the team, please email your CV, a short cover letter, and a writing sample (at least five pages) to Dr. Xiang ‘Jacob’ Yan ([email protected]). Students are encouraged to share their Github account if they have one.
备注：受佛州法规SB 846的影响，offer不能发给目前居住在中国境内（含港澳）的同学。目前居住在中国境外的中国同学们不受该恶法影响。另外我想强调一点，因为美国宪法中有各种反歧视保护条款的存在，我认为来到佛州后的中国学生不用担心有断funding的风险。网上什么“中国人不能进实验室”这类新闻是谣言，佛大教授微信群讨论过了，没有这回事。这是因为美国宪法中有很多反对基于national origin进行歧视的保护条款，州政府是不能出台政策法规针对中国人的。这就是为什么佛州“禁止中国人购地”（SB 264) 的法案被联邦法院叫停了。而SB 846能实施是因为它针对的是居住地（这里面包括目前居住在中国的美国人），而不是单独针对中国人。
另外SB 846的限制期是1年，对于目前在中国境内的优秀学生（尤其是本科生），我可以提供“第一年自费，第二年之后全奖+一定的额外补贴”的选项。UF的学费大概是3万美金一年，节约一点的话一年花销可以控制在5万美金以内。
