During this free event, folks can meet our hiring managers and learn more about early career opportunities and internships. Oak Ridge National Lab is also home of the world’s fastest supercomputer, Frontier.
The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) is hiring across a wide range of disciplines from computational and data scientists, system administrators, cyber security professionals, HPC support engineers, and more. They have positions that span senior professionals, mid-career, and recent college graduates. They also have a number of postdoc and student internship opportunities.
James Bonacci, an NSF SFS student scholar in RMU’s accelerated BS/MS Cybersecurity program, was invited and funded by the national Information Security Research Education (INSuRE) program to present at the 2024 National Cybersecurity Education Colloquium (NCEC) in St. Louis, Missouri during October 7-10, 2024. The presentation was based on a guided team research project on AI/neural network models for security completed in the spring semester by 4 RMU NSF SFS student scholars (James Bonacci, Peyton Lutchkus, Reese Martin, and Rob Pava). Dr. Bradford Kline from the National Security Agency (NSA) served as the government mentor, and Dr. Ping Wang was the RMU faculty supervisor for the team. Thanks to RMU Provost Dr. Joseph Zimmer for his attendance at NCEC in support of RMU cybersecurity programs and students!
Students and Faculty attended the 64th IACIS Annual Conference to present research and to learn about new findings in the field from colleagues.
