Although MIT Lincoln Laboratory will not be conducting interviews at your campus this spring, we would be grateful if you could make the following information available to your students. The Laboratory’s fundamental mission is to apply science and advanced technology to critical problems of national security, primarily working on sensors, information extraction (signal processing and embedded computing), and communications.  A Department of Defense federally funded research and development center, the Laboratory has a focused commitment to research and development, with an emphasis on building prototypes and demonstrating operation systems under live test conditions that meet real-world requirements. As an engineer or scientist, you will have the opportunity to engage in research and development activities in one of the nine primary mission areas: ·         Space Control ·         Air and Missile Defense Technology ·         Communication Systems ·         Cyber Security ·         Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Systems and Technology ·         Advanced Electronics Technology ·         Engineering ·         Tactical Systems ·         Homeland Protection ·         Air Traffic Control The Laboratory also undertakes government-sponsored, nondefense projects such as the development of systems for the Federal Aviation Administration to improve air traffic control and air safety, and systems that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses in weather surveillance.  For more information please visit http://www.ll.mit.edu. We actively recruit individuals pursuing BS, MS and PhD degrees  in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and to a limited degree, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, Biology, Chemistry, Meteorology and Materials Science. Candidates should have an interest and ability to work on a broad range of technical problems in a team environment and possess strong problem- solving, analytical, innovative, communications, and teaming skills.  Due to our contracts with the Department of Defense employment at the Laboratory requires U.S. citizenship. Last summer the Laboratory employed 145 undergraduates and graduate students under the auspices of our Summer Research Program.  We expect to hire at the same level for summer 2012.  Eligibility requirements, program details, and the application process can be viewed athttp://www.ll.mit.edu/college/summerprogram.html.. Our 2011-2012 Technical Seminar Series offering is available at http://www.ll.mit.edu/college/techseminars.html.  Costs related to the staff members' visits will be assumed by the Laboratory.  Please review our website to obtain the process for requesting a seminar. We hope you will encourage your students to apply for our career opportunities at https://www.ll.apply2jobs.com/ProfExt/index.cfm?fuseaction=mExternal.showSearchInterface.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at 781.981.7056 or at hackett@ll.mit.edu<mailto:hackett@ll.mit.edu>.  

More detailed information and an online application can be found a twww.nationalacademies.org/rap. The National Research Council of the National Academies sponsors a number of awards for graduate, postdoctoral and senior researchers at participating federal laboratories and affiliated institutions.  These awards include generous stipends ranging from $42,000 - $75,000 per year for recent Ph.D. recipients, and higher for additional experience.  Graduate entry level stipends begin at $30,000.  These awards provide the opportunity for recipients to do independent research in some of the best-equipped and staffed laboratories in the U.S. Research opportunities are open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and for some of the laboratories, foreign nationals. Detailed program information, including online applications, instructions on how to apply and a list of participating laboratories, is available on the NRC Research Associateship Programs website (see link above). Questions should be directed to the NRC at 202-334-2760 (phone) orrap@nas.edu.

We are looking for a student willing to assist with an open-source CMS (Joomla) site currently under construction to allow us to address some style issues and complete the development of an online community to support those affected by brain tumors. The development of this website into an interactive community for professionals, researchers, patients, caregivers and advocates will increase awareness on a local, state, national and international level.  If interested contact Julie Houston (houstojf@email.sc.edu) 

My company provides a medical service and would like to update it's computer production and data base infrastructure in preparation for national expansion or rebuild from the ground up...should be familiar with Pascal, Dicom and Linux...while the company is revenue generating we do not have cash available for this project but will discuss stock incentives. If interested, please contact Marty at 803.231.2002.

Telecommunications Information Systems Officer - Entry and Developmental

Telecommunications Information Systems Officers (TISOs) act as information distributors, customer representatives, and operate, maintain, install and manage telecommunications facilities. TISOs also provide project management and systems integration for voice and data communication systems, supervise installation of these systems, and provide maintenance and support to customers after installation. Specializations include voice transmission, data communications, TCP-IP networks, Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), COMSEC/TEMPEST, facsimile, cable-to-modem communication, RF (including satellite) communication capabilities, power systems, generators, digital/analog fault isolation and repair to least replaceable unit. Handling this variety of responsibilities requires good communication skills, a firm understanding of technical requirements, and an ability to work closely with other professionals.

Physical Work Requirements: Duties of TISO officers include being able to single-handedly deploy up to 45-pound communications systems and being prepared for prolonged use of destruction equipment (e.g., sledge-hammers, nail guns, disintegrators, and degaussers) and removal of equipment from racks (e.g. servers weighing up to 75 pounds).

Telecommunication Information Systems Officers will typically spend 60-70% of their career abroad on assignments that last between one to three years in length and are also required to participate in temporary travel assignments. Officers receive a variety of overseas benefits and allowances that positively impact overall compensation.

Minimum qualifications include the following: An Associate's Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering Technology, Computer Network Systems, Electronics Engineering Technology or similar degrees from an accredited technical school or university. A final GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required. Candidates with at least two years civilian or military work experience/knowledge in the telecommunications and/or automated information systems field that is comparable to one of the requisite degree fields may also qualify (example: with current computer systems, applications, networks, and hardware/software troubleshooting skills).

All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.

To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.

Important Notice: Friends, family, individuals, or organizations may be interested to learn that you are an applicant for or an employee of the CIA. Their interest, however, may not be benign or in your best interest. You cannot control whom they would tell. We therefore ask you to exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position with the Agency. You will receive further guidance on this topic as you proceed through your CIA employment processing.

To Apply:

Make a note of the position(s) that interest you, as you can apply for up to four positions in one application. DO NOT submit multiple applications; this will only slow the review of your application, and delay processing. Please read the Application Instructions carefully before you begin the online application process.

To apply, find this position on www.cia.gov and follow the application instructions.
