Rich Technical Challenges
The real-world challenges of U.S. security and protection provide a continuously evolving array of satisfying, cutting-edge research and development opportunities. Agile thinkers will be free to develop novel ideas, build and test them in sophisticated real-world simulations, and be provided with stability and funding for long-term research goals. In addition, many projects are multidisciplinary and collaborative, allowing staff - experts in their fields - to learn from and inspire each other. Because of our close relationship with MIT, Laboratory community members have the support to build collaborative relations beyond the Laboratory and consult with MIT faculty.
Support to Excel Professionally and Personally
Lincoln Laboratory provides various benefits and amenities to support professional development and work/life balance, from generous tuition assistance and in-house courses on technical subjects and business management to an on-site fitness facility, numerous sports leagues and clubs, and access to discounts on movies and museums. Some of our more unique opportunities include the Lincoln Scholars Program, which allows employees to apply for the full-time pursuit of Master’s or Doctoral degrees, and eligibility for the Federal Student Loan Forgiveness Program, which pardons remaining student loan balances after ten years of full-time Laboratory service and loan payments.
Community Engagement
For those who value giving back, opportunities also abound. Educational outreach efforts include the Laboratory’s “Science on Saturday” program for kids – fun, accessible science demonstrations offered at the Lincoln Laboratory several times each school year – and “CyberPatriot,” a national student competition to defend a simulated corporate network from external attacks. Community-based outreach ranges from “Support our Troops” initiatives to our holiday giving tree.
