Please note that if you are interested in other INL internship categories in addition to this one, you will need to complete the application for each of those categories as well. Most of the information you provide while completing the initial application carries over to your new applications. You will have to review your previously submitted information in each step, ensure it is complete and then click the submit button on the final step.
 

The Opportunity:

 

Internships at Idaho National Laboratory  

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) hosts over 300 undergraduate and graduate students each year to support INL's mission.  Opportunities for interns at INL range from nuclear engineering to cybersecurity and include non-scientific positions in various operations and business disciplines.

Join INL's team and find your exceptional educational experience in a real-world work environment.  INL offers a unique opportunity to learn, collaborate, innovate and conduct research with top researchers and professionals.

The Deliverables:

Interns will spend the first week of their assignment working with their mentor to outline their work scope and to secure resources for a successful internship.  For the next several weeks, the mentor will provide considerable program assistance and guidance to the intern.  In addition to regular activities, interns are invited to attend weekly seminars, tours and community events designed with career development in mind.  Completion of a final project is highly recommended and can be completed through a variety of mediums - a traditional poster, electronic presentation or video.

The Process:

Through this single application, you are considered for all internship projects related to INL Cybersecurity (Cyber Security). Simply complete the application questions which will help us identify what knowledge and experience you already have that may be related to the preferred qualifications for each individual internship project. It is common for applicants to receive consideration for multiple projects at varying times throughout the process. Mentors will make direct contact with applicants who meet their project qualifications to share the specific details of the project. On average, INL plans for approximately 300 internships each year.  Most internships provide flexibility with start and end dates to account for varying university term schedules.  We encourage early applications to increase the number of opportunities available to you.

The Projects:

Internship projects will focus on critical infrastructure protection through anticipating national technology trends and research. INL uses full-scale testing capabilities, unique facilities, advanced tools and technology to collaborate on real world solutions to cyber issues. Below are examples of the type of projects a student may work on:

--Support the planning and development of software and firmware code to cause desired effects in embedded components to be used for critical infrastructure research.  Perform research into emerging tools and capabilities which can be used for embedded device forensics, disassembly and embedded firmware analysis

--Participate in the development of an assessment methodology for research reactors, including specific methodologies for interdependency risk management.  In addition develop preliminary recommendations for how INL's domestic and international nuclear cybersecurity programs can incorporate the use of a simulator to enhance their research efforts.

--Assist in documenting topologies for intricate security relationships, and developing security architecture recommendations that will improve security programs/posture. Assist in the development and maintenance of customer code used to analyze network traffic and proprietary protocols. Assists development of technical solutions for information operations and analysis related to national security topics. Works with senior engineers to support identification of security issues for existing platforms and applications. Assist with the development of algorithms and methods for detecting and preventing network attacks. Assists in the development and maintenance of code used to find weaknesses in systems and to verify patch effectiveness. Assist and/or conducts penetration testing and vulnerability assessments. Performs analysis and/or reverse engineering of suspect source code.

--Research and development of advanced intrusion detection. This will include the development of machine learning techniques, physical effects correlation to cyber causes, and cyber-physical fusion.
