Title: DEVCOM – Analysis Center

Site: White Sands Missile Range, NM

Description: The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Analysis Center (DAC) informs Army modernization and readiness decisions by conducting thorough analyses enabled by tool development and data curation. The objective of the DEVCOM Analysis Center (DAC) Summer Internship Program is to provide the next generation of cyber leaders an opportunity to learn about the research process as it applies to the cyber domain as well as to allow high school students to provide meaningful contributions to real-world research efforts in cyberspace. The internship program is multi-week (12-14 weeks) starting late May 2025 and it ends in August 2025. Interns will do applied research and document some of the latest cybersecurity vulnerabilities including wireless and password cyber-attacks, both new and most common methods used for exploitation and mitigation.  The Intern will ensure this applied research and documentation contains material from peer-reviewed and open-source publications, public knowledge databases, and community discussion groups related to these types of cyber-attacks.  Additionally, the high school Intern will utilize the research and documentation to develop a training program on a topic that will be selected in coordination with the Lab Coordinator.  Finally, the Intern will provide a report describing the procedures to execute and mitigate these attacks in a cohesive way. This site operates on a rolling application basis. Due to the high volume of applications, not all candidates may receive an immediate response. However, all applications will remain under consideration for future opportunities as they become available.
