About The Position

While on-road transportation often receives the most attention for its high energy use and emissions, the non-road sector also makes a significant contribution. This sector includes aviation, off-road, marine, and rail transportation. In our current project, we're focusing on the marine and off-road sectors to better understand the energy demands of different vessel and equipment types. To support this effort, we're looking for a SULI intern to assist with a detailed analysis of the U.S. non-road transportation sector—which powers critical parts of the economy such as construction, agriculture, mining, oil transport, commercial services, and even lawn and garden operations. The goal is to estimate the energy consumption, emissions, and associated costs of various sub-sectors and equipment types, based on project requirements. This work will not only enhance our understanding of energy demand but also shed light on the broader environmental and economic impacts of non-road transportation. If you're excited about contributing to this impactful research, we’d love to hear from you.
