5 / 100 IPPRA team judgment

This is a transportation/ADAS applied engineering opportunity for road networks and vehicle systems at wildlife refuges, with no clear social-behavioral, policy, risk-perception, or education-evaluation component. The team might have peripheral interest in environmental siting issues, but this is not plausibly PI-level work for anyone in the IPPRA roster.
