Intern Lab Researcher information
What is the difference between Intern Lab Researcher vs Laboratory Technician?
| Aspect | Intern Lab Researcher | Laboratory Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Typically pursuing or recent graduate of a science-related degree | Associate degree or relevant certification often required |
| Work Environment | Academic or research labs, often part-time or internship-based | Industrial, clinical, or research labs, full-time roles |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Universities, research institutions, biotech startups | Hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, research facilities |
| Common Search & Comparison Intent | Understanding entry-level research roles and internships | Clarifying responsibilities and qualifications for lab support roles |
The Intern Lab Researcher typically is a student or recent graduate gaining hands-on experience in research settings, often part-time or during internships. In contrast, a Laboratory Technician is a more established role requiring specific certifications or degrees, working full-time in industrial or clinical labs. Both roles support scientific work but differ in experience level, responsibilities, and employment context.

Job description
Are you interested in learning about the timely and timeless art of maritime navigation from experts?
Do you love to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills for complex systems?
Do you want to be part of a team developing analytical techniques and software tools for systems critical to the defense of our nation?
If you are pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Applied Mathematics, Geophysics, Geology, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Data Science (or a related subject) and are interested in working in the field of Navigation, we'd love to have you join our team!
We are seeking intern(s) to help us ensure the US Navy surface and subsurface fleet have the most accurate and reliable navigation systems in the world. You will join a dedicated group of engineers, physicists, software developers, mathematicians, and scientists who are committed to directly contributing to the success of strategic and tactical missions of utmost importance to the US Navy. Our team is committed to developing exceptional talent in the field of navigation and fostering a culture of innovation.
As a Geophysics Intern for the Navigation team...
- Your primary responsibility will be to contribute to the development of tools and techniques that facilitate geophysical database management and/or analysis of satellite altimeter products.
- You will acquire hands on experience with marine potential fields (e.g., gravity, magnetic) or bathymetry datasets.
As a Navigation Analyst Intern for the Navigation team...
- Your primary responsibility will be to contribute to the development of tools and techniques crucial to gaining critical insight into navigation performance. For example, our interns have worked on an Agile software team to develop production-level analysis software, have participated in research and development efforts to advance machine learning and optimization processes, and have developed tools to enhance training in key navigation concepts.
- You will learn about complex inertial navigation systems employed across multiple platforms in great detail
And you will both...
- Learn about complex inertial navigation systems employed across multiple platforms and how they fit into the big picture of the larger systems and missions they support.
- Network and learn from world-class experts in inertial navigation.
- Contribute to a group and Lab culture that encourages collaboration, bold innovations, and unquestionable integrity.
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...
- Are pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Geophysics, Applied Mathematics, Geology, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Data Science, or a related subject.
- Have a strong curiosity about marine geophysics and how it can assist maritime navigation AND/OR have a strong curiosity about how a navigation system performs.
- Have programming experience (e.g., Python, Julia, R or MATLAB).
- Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
- Are able to obtain a Secret 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.
You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you possess...
- Experience with configuration management and version control tools (e.g., Github, Gitlab).
- Experience with geophysical time series analysis (e.g., seismic, acoustic, gravity, magnetic and electromagnetic modalities) AND/OR inertial navigation systems.
- Demonstrated software development experience in compiled or scripted languages.
- Experience with machine learning AND/OR digital signal processing.
- An active Secret or Top-Secret security clearance.
