Internship at Amtrak

My office is hiring this paid internship position in order to assist us in further developing our geographic database over the Spring semester, and are looking for someone to start this January.  My office is responsible for evaluating the financial and other impacts of proposed changes to Amtrak’s national intercity passenger rail system, which include changes in train frequency, station stop patterns, on-board services, and routes.  We have been becoming more reliant on using GIS as a tool in performing our analyses, and are now bringing in more financial and operating data to be able to map them.

I am a graduate of the University of Maryland College Park, having majored in Urban Studies & Planning and received my Bachelors in December 1991, and actually started here at Amtrak as an intern myself while at Maryland.

Anyone interested should apply on-line through the link I provided above, or by going to www.Amtrak.com, selecting “Careers” at the very bottom, and searching for position number 90195090.
