The Homeland Decision Support Systems Group focuses on end-to-end system architectures design, decision support, and advanced analytics to enhance the protection of the homeland and U.S. interests overseas. In collaboration with industry and academia, we are working at the frontiers of AI to develop and integrate advanced decision support prototypes that can address national security needs in the land, sea, air, and space domains. We have deployed real-time enterprise and edge solutions that support the warfighters at multiple Combatant Commands across the globe, providing a measurable impact to their missions. The Homeland Decision Support Systems Group combines expertise in deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, graph theory, big data architectures, operations research, and system autonomy. The group's mission is to enhance national security by leading the nation in developing and deploying advanced decision support systems that leverage cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies. The group is seeking motivated graduate students and experienced undergraduates to assist with projects addressing homeland security challenges through software engineering, algorithm development, and/or machine learning. Summer student assignments may include research on state-of-the-art algorithms in computer vision, reinforcement learning, and/or representation learning applied to challenging, real-world datasets. The candidate will work in a team-oriented development environment.

As an SRP intern, you'll engage in hands-on research, receive dedicated mentorship, and take part in professional development opportunities including workshops, tech talks, and networking events-all while building connections within a vibrant community of peers. Internships are typically 10-12 weeks, with flexible start and end dates, typically May through early August. Housing support is available for eligible non-local interns, including access to discounted university housing in Boston and a one-time taxable relocation payment. Complimentary daily shuttle transportation is provided from Boston-based housing to and from the Lab.
