Joshua Tree National Park has an internship open for a Visitor Data Analyst. If you get excited by data and stats this sounds like a pretty great opportunity to pair that with the outdoors.
The Visitor Data Analyst intern will review visitor trends to help understand past visitation surges and predict and prepare for future surges. The data collected and analyzed by the volunteer will be used to evaluate variables such as weather and timing with large influxes of visitation. The VDA will collaborate with park staff – specifically the Night Sky Ranger and Physical Scientist – to obtain the data.
Applicants must have a personal laptop they can use at park headquarters in Twentynine Palms and experience with data compilation and analysis.
