Looking for an opportunity to put your coding/big data skills to use and positively impact national security? The Open Source Enterprise's Weapons and Counterproliferation Program, as part of a newly created big data project, is seeking a programmer/data scientist to collect and structure WMD-related open source information from sources such as academic journals, business-to-business websites, conference listing sites, scientific citation indexes, patent data, etc., which will be used in the creation of products of high value and interest to policymakers. Students will produce structured data sets in line with OSE's existing structured data collection, as well as assisting with the collection of all relevant, related materials. |

An XML file format has been created to standardize information regarding antenna patterns and other electrical and physical attributes of the antenna. I would like to a schema developed to validate an XML file to ensure it is consistent with the antenna pattern standard. Once the antenna pattern is in a standard and valid format, I would like to be able to visualize the pattern in 3D using either a Python script or MATLAB code (bonus points for both). |

An example antenna pattern xml file will be provided as a starting point. The genesis of the pattern standard can be found here: http://nsma.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wg16_99_050.pdf. I have added additional information I would like capture in the new standard. |

Have you ever thought the Federal Government could be even more efficient? Well, now is your chance! Supporting this project will allow you to help public servants be more productive. It is part of the Digital Acumen Learning Program, focusing on fostering the workforce’s understanding of how the digital domain can impact their professional and personal domains.
Interns will research best practices of public and private digital acumen programs and produce (or find existing) blogs/articles on technology trends, digital learning success stories, and the overall digital environment, such as the ‘internet of things,’ social media, and cloud computing. |

The CIA World Factbook lists a wide variety of information on 265 countries and geographic elements. It offers information on such categories of information as: terrorism, government, energy, economy, military, transnational issues, communications, people and society, geography, and transportation. We are currently developing one-page summaries of information about a country that visitors can download and print. Our goal is to provide summaries designed for specific customers such as teachers, journalists, travelers, economists, and others. Samples produced so far are crafted individually, which is time consuming. We would like to develop an automated system that would greatly streamline the production process. There are two current and one former college professors on the team that will work with the intern to ensure they have a rewarding educational experience while making a valuable contribution to a popular public website. There is a full-time database manager on the team to help interns with the technical aspects of this work. |

The World Factbook is a highly regarded resource visited by more than 80 million members of the public each year. Interns will be able to see the results of their efforts on our website and show their work to classmates, peers, professors, and recruiters. |

"Excellence in foreign intelligence demands broad perspectives, both in our understanding of a complex world and in our approach to challenges and opportunities. Broad perspectives come from diversity in thought, ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences. Embracing and leveraging diversity through an inclusive culture fosters innovation, new ideas, and new insights which is at the heart of what we are charged to do and is what will drive mission success." - John Brennan, Former DCIA
CIA is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where all its employees can reach their full potential. In pursuit of this endeavor, we are looking for an intern who can assist with identifying best practices from across academia, government, and the private sector that can be leveraged to advance CIA's internal diversity initiatives. As a virtual intern, you will become familiar with CIA's Diversity & Inclusion Strategy as well as the DLS study in order to gain an understanding of the CIA's diversity challenges. Utilizing this knowledge, the selected intern will identify new trends and benchmark relevant ways to successfully advance CIA's initiatives. |

Interns will do research and analysis on the wide range of topics contained in the ten categories of information for each country in the world presented on our public website . Categories include: communications, economy, energy, geography, military, transportation, terrorism, people and society, government, and transnational issues. Interns can tailor the subject of their projects to fit their interests. They may also offer suggestions for new categories and fields, or new sources of information, and help develop new ways to present information, including graphic, cartographic, and multimedia formats. There are two current and one former college professors on the team who will work with interns to ensure they have a rewarding educational experience and make a valuable contribution to a very popular and highly regarded website. Some examples of projects are: the development of new fields related to social media and their effect on a country; the introduction of new graphic and cartographic content; the enhancement of existing climate and environmental fields; research on political parties or pressure groups; research into transportation infrastructure; and a host of other topics. The results of the intern's work may be published on our website and viewed by the more than 80 million people who visit The World Factbook each year. |
