Trafikklab is pleased to share an exciting international research opportunity now open within the SEA‑EU Alliance – European University of the Seas. A new Master‑level internship titled “Human‑Centric Future Mobility: Bridging VR Simulation, Automation, and Sustainable Transport Behavior” is available at Nord University, offering a unique chance to engage in cutting‑edge mobility research.
A Research Internship Shaping the Future of Mobility
Published on 11 March 2026, this 3–6‑month internship focuses on the intersection of human behavior, virtual reality mobility simulations, and transport automation—a rapidly evolving field with major implications for road safety, sustainable mobility, and future transport systems.
By participating, students will explore how immersive technologies and automation can support safer, greener, and more efficient mobility choices. The human‑centric focus ensures that technological innovation is grounded in real‑world user needs—an approach fully aligned with Trafikklab’s mission to advance data‑driven and human‑oriented mobility solutions.
Why This Internship Matters
Modern mobility systems are undergoing profound transformation. Advances in VR simulation, autonomous transport, and sustainable mobility models are essential in addressing safety, environmental, and behavioral challenges in today’s transport sector. This research opportunity gives students the tools to:
- Investigate human responses to emerging mobility technologies
- Apply VR‑based experimentation and user‑experience methods
- Contribute to sustainability‑oriented behavior research
- Collaborate within an international academic network across the SEA‑EU alliance
These themes reflect broader European priorities in smart, safe, and sustainable mobility, where digitalization and human‑centric design play a decisive role in shaping future transport policies.
Who Can Apply
The position is open to students from universities within the SEA‑EU alliance, which brings together nine coastal universities across Europe—including Nord University—for shared education, mobility, and research opportunities.
Eligible Master students looking to develop expertise in mobility research, human factors, VR technologies, or automated transport systems are strongly encouraged to apply.
