Organisation Details

The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) promotes sustainable and equitable transport worldwide. ITDP is a nonprofit organization headquartered in New York City with offices in Africa, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and the United States. ITDP’s programs focus on bus rapid transit, cycling and walking, travel demand management, parking, transport policy, shared mobility, and urban development. More information about ITDP can be found at www.itdp.org . The Research and Impact Group under ITDP’s Global Program is seeking a Research Intern, preferably based in the Washington, D.C. office. The Global Program aims to scale up the implementation of sustainable transport measures around the world by collecting and spreading information. The Research and Impact Group supports that mission by monitoring progress on sustainable transportation and translating research into practical guidance for decision makers. The intern will support these efforts through data collection and cleaning, conducting literature reviews and analysis, and contributing to written and visual materials.

Job Description

The Research Intern will report to the Research Manager and will work with staff across all ITDP offices. ITDP strives to integrate interns into our daily operations, with the expectation that the Research Intern will provide meaningful support to our ongoing projects while gaining valuable experience and education in the field. Therefore, an availability of 20 hours per week is required. This position will last from August/September 2022 to December 2022 and may be extended into the next academic year depending on academic eligibility. ITDP is working entirely remote because of the ongoing pandemic, and therefore the internship will be virtual until we safely welcome our teams back to the office. During the temporary remote working, we are open to candidates working remotely from one of the following states only: Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Virginia or Washington, D.C. The intern must be available to work in our Washington, D.C., New York City or Boston office when they reopen. A stipend is available of $400 per week. A computer will be provided during the internship if needed.
