If you have experience in working with Big Data, Informatics, and Analytics using large volumes and diverse sets of data, preferably related to transportation safety, driver/vehicle/roadway interactions, transportation systems management & operations and/or connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies, then Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center is where you want to be! 

The Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center is a federally owned and operated national research facility located on a scenic, wooded campus in McLean, Virginia.  Our center houses nearly 20 laboratories, and support facilities, and conducts applied and exploratory advanced research in vehicle-highway interaction, safety, operations, nanotechnology, and a host of other types of transportation research. 

At Turner-Fairbank, you’ll be just minutes from picturesque Washington, DC and all that it has to offer: an extraordinarily rich history, world-class entertainment and arts, luxurious dining establishments, countless museums, and all the grandeur of our Nation’s capital.

As our TFHRC Transportation Data Analytics Researcher, you will:

• Experience first-hand the cutting edge of roadway safety, transportation systems management & operations, and connected and automated vehicle research and technology.

If you have strong experience in working with very large and varied data sets to produce new analyses that can make a difference, and are familiar with roadway safety, transportation systems management & operations, infrastructure, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and/or connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies, and then we need YOU to be a part of Turner-Fairbank’s Safety Research and Development team.
