Positions for B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. scientists: MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Fall 2015 On-Campus Activities

MIT Lincoln Laboratory is pleased to announce we will be on campus during the fall semester.  The attachment provides specific information regarding our activities.  We would appreciate you making this 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 R&D, with an emphasis on building prototypes and demonstrating operation systems under live test conditions that meet real-world requirements. Our R&D efforts span the following key mission areas:

·         Space Control
·         Air and Missile Defense Technology
·         Communication Systems
·         Cyber Security and Information Science
·         Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Technology
·         Advanced Technology (electronic or electro-optical technologies, biotechnology and chemistry)
·         Engineering (innovative systems to test new concepts)
·         Tactical Systems
·         Homeland Protection
·         Air Traffic Control
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.

This summer the Laboratory employed 239 interns (110 graduate students, 129 undergraduates) under the auspices of our Summer Research Program.  We expect to hire at the same level for summer 2016.  Eligibility requirements, program details, and the application process can be viewed at http://www.ll.mit.edu/college/summerprogram.html

Our 2015-2016 Technical Seminar Series offering is available at http://www.ll.mit.edu/college/techseminars.html and is also attached.  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.

Please encourage your top students to meet with our technical staff members while they are on campus.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at hackett@ll.mit.edu or at 781.981.7056.
