We are looking for a staff member to work on a research project in the field of adaptation possibilities of the rail transport infrastructure with regard to heavy rain events as soon as possible.

**Dissemination** - Through workshops lasting one or more days, congress participation as well as presentations and publications, you will transfer our research results and findings into practice and into the scientific context. At national and international events, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and managers, develop new ideas and make contacts.
