Ph.D. Position in Transportation Safety Research

The Kluger Transportation Research Group (KTRG) is currently seeking applications for a motivated Ph.D. student, starting in a fully funded position in the Fall of 2026. The student will work on motor vehicle crash and public health datasets to assess transportation safety outcomes across Kentucky. Students will develop methods to link datasets, quantify statistical properties of those datasets, develop predictive models, and estimate causal factors. Strong applicants will have experience in software packages such as Python, R, and GIS along with a background in statistics, safety, and transportation engineering. Additionally, students should expect to collaborate with other researchers within and outside of the lab group to publish and present research.
