U.S. DOT Volpe Center Seeks Student Interns for 2022

The US Department of Transportation just posted their announcement for summer interns, seeking both undergraduate and graduate students.  As the new infrastructure act rolls out, there’s a lot of interesting work coming our way.  It’s too early to know about specific projects, but it is likely that they will be working on a variety of topics related to climate change (infrastructure resilience and emission reduction), new technologies, accessibility, equity, and other innovations and investments in all modes of transportation.  They expect to support grant programs, regulatory development and policy decisions.


The U.S. DOT Volpe Center is now recruiting talented and diverse individuals to fill the following positions as part of its Pathways Internship Program:

  • Computer Scientists
  • Data Scientists

  • Policy Analysts
  • Program Support Assistants
  • Operations Research Analysts

Most Pathways positions will begin May 2022. Applications will be accepted through December 1, 2021.
