Would you like to be part of a major collaborative research initiative to help tackle transport’s contribution to the climate crisis?
Are you looking to apply your visual communications skills and experience to a new challenge?
Do you thrive on working in an exciting and creative environment committed to making a difference?
Inspiring Futures for Zero Carbon Mobility (INFUZE) is a major £7.8m five-year research grant funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Working across the Universities of Leeds, Lancaster and the Royal College of Art, INFUZE is seeking to achieve transformative change in how transport works, addressing the climate challenge whilst improving fairness and quality of life. INFUZE is an exciting new collaboration which will work with citizens and businesses to re-imagine our transport systems. The programme will build an increasingly ambitious suite of real-world trials with communities, transport providers and government partners.

Strong understanding of typography, layout and visual communication principles
Creative problem-solving skills and a passion for using design to address complex challenges
