Job description

Charles River Analytics, a GRVTY company, creates solutions and technology to tackle the world's most challenging problems. Our team of technological entrepreneurs works together to push at the forefront of enhanced AI, robotics, smart sensing, and human-centered computing. The resulting research and development help to continuously advance government programs and discover new possibilities in the commercial marketplace. At Charles River, we take great pride in our success at attracting and retaining the most talented and creative problem-solvers in our field. Now as part of GRVTY, we offer the same trusted capabilities with increased organizational depth and expanded capacity across mission-critical national security domains. Are you ready to accelerate our mission-focused innovations? We'd love to hear from you!

Our interns work on real projects and cutting-edge technology. We believe strongly in promoting within, which is demonstrated by the fact that we not only have hired former interns, but that several of our senior-level staff began their careers at Charles River as interns! 

We are looking for an enthusiastic Scientist Intern for our UX Innovation division. We are seeking students with an interest in learning about how to build human-centered systems and a successful academic background in the following areas: human factors, cognitive systems engineering, human computer interaction, user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design/assessment, and quantitative/qualitative data analysis.   

You will use a variety of approaches such as: knowledge elicitation, task analysis, iterative user-centered design approaches, and human factors-based usability evaluation methods. During your time at Charles River, you will work in small project-oriented groups of scientists and software engineers to address challenging problems related to creating user-centered technology and cognitive-support tools.

What we're looking for:

  • In pursuit of a PhD in Computer Science, Human Factors, or related field
  • Experience with user experience, human-computer interaction, or human factors
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently as well as effectively within a team environment
  • Strong verbal and written skills to support report writing
  • U.S. citizenship

Not required, but we'd love to see:

  • Requirements analysis
  • Quantitative and/or qualitative data analysis
  • Wireframing and concept design
  • Usability and/or technology evaluation
