2023 Internship - Remote Sensing, Modeling & Simulation and Analysis Intern

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab

Job Description

Description

In the Oceanic, Atmospheric and Remote Sensing Sciences Group at APL, we strive to transform fundamental research into technical innovations that significantly impact how navy ships interact with and operate in the marine environment.

 

Do you enjoy working on challenging projects that can span a wide range of remote sensing types and include end-to-end signature modeling, signal processing, algorithm development, and the analysis and interpretation of experimental data?  If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our group of research scientists at APL. You'll be joining a hardworking team of physicists and engineers who have critical roles in the implementation and application of physics-based models, systems analysis and modeling, analysis of remote sensing data, algorithm development and implementation, field test planning and execution, and completion of technology capability assessments in support of critical challenges for programs of national interest in the maritime domain. We have diverse technical backgrounds involved in all aspects of in-situ and remote sensing of oceanic and atmospheric phenomena and are passionate about applying our capabilities to answer current and future problems of national importance. Our team values technical and personal growth and we cultivate an environment of collaboration that focusses on solid technical work, delivering accurate results, and making impactful recommendations to our sponsors.

 

As an intern in our group, your assignments will be tailored to your capabilities and interests, and will also become more challenging based on your technical growth and accomplishments. Your primary responsibilities may include,

  • Analysis of remote sensing data using Matlab and Python signal processing tools.
  • Running advanced physics models and fluid dynamics simulations.
  • Analysis of model and simulation output data.
  • Contributing to laboratory and full-scale experiments including analysis of the collected data.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

  • Are in a Bachelors, Masters or PhD program in physics, engineering, applied mathematics or related field.
  • Have computer programming skills applicable to scientific analysis (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Fortran or equivalent).
  • Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Note: When prompted to upload attachments, please include a copy of your college transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable).
  • Are able to obtain an Secret level security clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
  • Can demonstrate that you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. To ensure the safety and well-being of the community, APL has established a policy requiring that all staff be vaccinated against COVID-19.  All staff members must provide proof of full vaccination or have an approved medical or religious accommodation by their start date.

You’ll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

  • Have experience analyzing experimental data.
  • Have an interest and aptitude in developing and using oceanographic, atmospheric, electro-optical, radar and/or LIDAR modeling and simulation tools.
