Posted on Jul 15, 2026
The World Bank’s transport engagement in China focuses on supporting the country’s transition toward low carbon, inclusive, and efficient transport systems. Current and pipeline engagements emphasize low carbon urban mobility, logistics and freight efficiency, decarbonization of hard to abate subsectors such as maritime and inland waterways, and improved asset management and financing of transport infrastructure. China also plays a growing role in the Bank’s global knowledge and public goods agenda in transport. Through global learning programs, the Bank supports the systematic capture and dissemination of China’s transport development experience to other client countries, while continuing to provide targeted technical and policy support domestically. The internship will provide a postgraduate student with hands-on exposure to World Bank operational and analytical work in China, including support to lending operations, technical assistance, policy dialogue, client workshops, and knowledge products linked to China’s evolving transport development agenda. Duties and Responsibilities Support research, data collection, and analytical work on China’s transport sector, including asset management, urban mobility, logistics and connectivity, transport decarbonization, active mobility, public transport, green shipping transition for maritime and inland waterways, climate-resilient infrastructure, and transport-related taxation and revenue, and innovative financing and private sector mobilization. Contribute to the preparation of short briefing notes, presentation materials, technical summaries, literature reviews, and knowledge products for World Bank internal use and client-facing activities. Support the organization and documentation of expert interviews, workshops, missions, study visits, and knowledge exchange events, including agenda preparation, participant materials, meeting notes, and follow-up action tracking. Conduct targeted analysis of Chinese and international policy, institutional, financing, and implementation practices relevant to sustainable transport and logistics. Provide other research, coordination, and operational support as needed by the China Transport Team, including support to advisory and analytical programs, externally funded sustainable transport initiatives, and the development of new transport activities where relevant.
