Graduate Intern - Year-Round - Transportation Systems Analysis

Seeking full - or part-time graduate candidates to work with researchers in NLR Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences on database development, data processing, and dashboard development to support analysis of mobility trends and energy implications of emerging transportation technologies. Specific tasks may include:

• Assist NLR researchers on projects providing insights into transportation energy systems, with a focus on how emerging transportation systems impact travel behavior, quality of life, and energy use.

• Analyze large-scale real-world travel activity, vehicle driving, and geospatial datasets using scalable, high-performance computing approaches.

• Contribute to the development and enhancement of population evolution and demographic microsimulation frameworks, including model design, calibration, validation, and scenario analysis; clearly communicate modeling approaches and findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Evaluate transportation accessibility outcomes alongside economic and outcomes, and help quantify tradeoffs and co-benefits associated with emerging mobility systems, infrastructure investments, and policy interventions.

• Generate insights from transit datasets, including General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), ridership, usage, and fare data to evaluate transit performance and accessibility.

• Deliver quality products that synthesize external literature, data analyses, and modeling results.

• Document methods and assumptions and assist with preparing peer-reviewed publications along with high-quality technical reports and presentations.
