Paid Summer Internship at UMD's Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security

The Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) at the University of Maryland, College Park, is now accepting applications for the 2024 Research for Intelligence & Security Challenges (RISC) Initiative internship program (June 3-August 9).

Competitively-selected RISC interns (RISCers) work in teams with mentorship from university faculty and government practitioners, tackling real security and intelligence problems hands-on. Work is primarily conducted virtually, with some opportunities for in-person collaboration and in-person project outbriefs presented the final week. Internship participation includes possible sponsorship for a security clearance and brings the opportunity to be considered for future employment with the U.S. government.

The application site will close on Monday, February 5th, 2024.

ARLIS is actively seeking data, computer, and social science students from a wide range of majors including: Neuroscience & Psychology, Sociology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Anthropology, Human Geography, and Government and Politics and International Relations. If you are interested in data science or are a double-major, interested in the federal government and are looking for a paid internship, this may be for you.

Information sessions will be held on:
  • Friday, Nov. 17 from 4-5 pm
  • Thursday, Dec. 14 from 2-3 pm
  • Friday, Jan. 19 from 1-2 pm
