Located in one of the fastest growing innovation hubs, adjacent to MIT and world-class IT and biotechnology companies, Volpe has a long history of working side-by-side with university and college faculty on challenging transportation topics.

We are interested in having tenured or tenure-track faculty members, especially those on sabbatical, spend time at our facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts, working on independent or sponsored research and collaborating with our talented staff.

Our multi-disciplinary workforce—570 staff and 400 onsite contractors—is drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including engineering; social, environmental, and computer sciences; and policy and planning.

Volpe can be flexible in the arrangements it makes with faculty. To learn more, check out the faculty appointments page on our website. If you are interested in exploring the possibilities, please direct a letter of interest to Anne Aylward, our deputy associate administrator for Research and Innovation. If you have questions, please contact Sue Connors, our director of Human Resources, at 617-494-2478.
