Internship Opportunities
If you are a student or recent graduate looking to expand your education beyond what you can learn in school, and earn money doing it, we want you to come work with us! You’ll have an opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects while adding experience to your resume. Our interns do real work: writing code, analyzing data, and collaborating as valuable team members.
Make a Difference
The SEI is 1 of 10 Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), one of only three chartered under the Research and Development Laboratories category. The work that we do directly impacts our nation. Our interns work with SEI experts to generate real results in fields such as security automation, threat analysis, and risk & resilience. Your internship may culminate with a presentation that may be used as you start your career. Some past presentations included Exploring Security Vulnerabilities in Healthcare Systems, Cyber Education Feedback, and Insider Threat Reporting.
