The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) is offering a fellowship opportunity in freight network analytics through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE).
What will I be doing?
At the Office of Statistical and Economic Analysis (OSEA), you will join a team of highly skilled data scientists, engineers, and other research fellows. OSEA develops numerous transportation data products, including the Freight Analysis Framework (FAF), which
is used across the U.S. and internationally to understand transportation trends and inform policy decisions.
OSEA staff collaborate across agencies, both within and outside DOT, to explore innovative methods of data collection, analysis, visualization, algorithm development, and modeling. OSEA is currently researching new ways to apply network flow algorithms at a
large scale to simulate nationwide U.S. freight flows.
You will be involved in projects related to freight transportation and supply chain systems while learning to apply network analytics techniques to evaluate the flow of cargo across highway, rail, water, pipeline, air, and multimodal transportation networks.
You will research primary and auxiliary source data, gain experience applying network analysis methods in a high-powered cloud-based framework, and support the development of analytical tools that inform transportation policy.
