Job Description
Transport & Environment (T&E), the leading European NGO promoting cleaner transport, is offering a UK based position for a researcher (data analyst), starting from June 2026.
You will join T&E's Trends and Analysis team, our home for research, transport modelling and data analysis. You will report to the UK's Lead Analyst. Your own project work will primarily be directed by T&E's UK office, where work will be driven by the opportunities to shape and set transport policy in the UK. Opportunities to contribute to other work programmes may arise based on capacity and interest.
T&E prides itself on developing data and evidence based transport policy for the EU and the UK. Your work will have a significant and lasting impact as we work with policy makers, advisory bodies and a coalition of civil society in the UK. In the UK, our analysis made the case for the zero emissions vehicle mandate, the biggest single carbon cutting policy the UK government has. Transport is the largest emitting sector in the UK - your work will make sure transport plays its part in getting to net zero.
Our working environment fosters learning and professional development. We value ideas and afford our colleagues the agency and autonomy to develop evidence and argument based solutions to our complex transport decarbonization challenges. We work on issues that can have a positive impact on the way we travel, on our health and on the climate.
We are looking for someone who can apply appropriate quantitative analytical tools and techniques, and synthesize evidence from a range of sources, to support our mission in creating a sustainable transport system. This will include assessing the reliability and relevance of evidence and giving objective evidence-based advice to shape policy and public narrative of transport issues. The right candidate will have a keen interest and experience guiding others and helping develop their skills.
This position requires someone with an engineering, economist, or scientific background with experience in transport and energy modelling and research or related fields.
Main functions of the role:
* Deliver economic/transport modelling or analysis on the impacts of UK transport policy across different transport areas.
* Write reports and policy briefings that detail these impacts and the policy changes that would help deliver them.
* Present research findings internally and externally.
* Support T&E's analytical work in other work programmes when additional capacity is required.
* Review T&E analytical outputs to ensure a high degree of research, analysis, and argumentation. This includes quality-assuring models, challenging input data and assumptions and interpreting output data.
* Provide input to T&E's policy and communication strategies.
Job requirements:
* Experience or expertise in detailed quantitative analysis such as data analysis, regression analysis and modelling (e.g. economic modelling) are required.
* Expertise in programming (for example in python) and/or qualitative analysis (e.g. interviews, surveys, literature reviews, content analysis) are considered a bonus.
* Experience in the field of transport, climate and energy analysis.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills and an ability to write in English fluently, accurately and concisely. Other European languages are considered a bonus.
* Project management experience including strong interpersonal and team-working skills and an ability to deliver to tight deadlines.
* The confidence to think and act with initiative, to engage and influence policymakers of different stripes, industry representatives and other stakeholders at the highest level.
