Check out their internship posting and Leadership Development Program. They will be at the fall Career Fair and they are hoping to talk to College of Computing students.
Postgraduate Research Opportunity in Science, Technology, and Engineering
https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/USDOT-2020-0002
APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 29, 2020 at 3PM EST
*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.
The future of transportation holds great promise, as well as new challenges. All modes of transportation rely on radiofrequency technology for Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) capabilities. Are you ready to be involved with this capability that affects the lives of people across the nation everyday?
Two post-graduate research project and developmental opportunities are currently available at the U.S. Department of Transportation. The appointments will be served within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) in Washington, DC.
Under the guidance of a mentor, the selected participants will have the opportunity to conduct research on existing and emerging technologies, processes, and approaches for communications, navigation, and surveillance technologies that can be used to enhance the future of transportation. This research includes navigation and radiofrequency spectrum technologies for all modes of transportation and looking to the future with the role these technologies will play for automated vehicles. Research also supports radio frequency spectrum management, engineering, and analysis in close coordination with other DOT modal administrations to address issues of harmful frequency interference and operational degradation to transportation applications.
Finally, the participants will have the chance to evaluate and assess backup and Complementary Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies that can be used for aviation, maritime, and/or surface transportation in the event of a degradation or disruption to GPS and the best mechanism to implement those technologies (e.g., Public Private Partnership, Service Level Agreement, etc.).
Who are we? We are the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) where we are responsible for coordinating the US DOT’s research programs and are charged with advancing the deployment of cross-cutting technologies to improve our Nation’s transportation system. One of these cross-cutting areas within OST-R is the Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and Spectrum Management Program.
Anticipated Appointment Start Date: Anytime between now and June 2020
Qualifications
The qualified candidate should have received a master’s or doctoral degree in Computer Sciences or an Engineering field, or be currently pursuing one of the degrees and will reach completion by the start date of the appointment. Degree must have been received within five years of the appointment start date.
This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only.

Post-Doctoral Fellowship with the Transportation Security Lab
Apply today at: https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/TSL-Post-Doctoral-SyntheticData-2020
Open until filled
Looking to solve real world problems through new development of Deep Learning algorithms?
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering post-doctoral fellowships with the Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL). TSL is seeking applicants to participate in a new endeavor in synthetic data generation and testing. The need to develop synthetic methods to develop and test new Deep Learning algorithms is paramount and the proposed work is new and cutting edge.
Why should I apply? You will be given challenging assignments, under the guidance of a DHS TSL mentor, who will provide you with a broad perspective of DHS and TSL, knowledge of cutting edge research, and access to unique facilities.
What will I be doing? As a TSL Post-Doctoral Fellow, you will be a part of a team of TSL staff and researchers focused on a two-fold approach synthetic data generation and testing involving x-ray and millimeter wave regimes.
Where will I be located? Atlantic City, NJ
What are the benefits? As a participant with TSL, you will receive:
•Stipend starting at $80,000
•Health Insurance Allowance
•Relocation Allowance up to $2,000
