This position is for one semester (Spring 2027) of a quarter-time (25%) graduate assistantship., Georgia Tech Research Institute's Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory (SEAL) seeks a GRA to join our Command, Control, and Communications (C3D) team for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Students will assist Research Scientists in various Cognitive Science and Computer/Data Science related research tasks. Students should be interested in learning about C3 operations, design and development of human-centered artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling, and simulation. Students should also be capable of helping to conduct research under the direction of Research Scientists, participating in computational analysis using standard analysis packages such as R, SPSS, or others used in scientific research, and competently reporting the results of such analysis according to professional publication standards. Computing student applicants should have software engineering and AI/ML experience, ideally with past work/project experiences developing in Python. Psychology/Social Science applicants should have research experience such as guided literature reviews, research proposals, research design, data collection, data analysis and visualization, and research reporting. Due to the nature of the work at GTRI, job duties will depend upon contract and sponsor needs. Students could participate in the following projects/tasks: * Perform exploratory research (or human subjects research if applicable) to address sponsor interests * Conduct and report on computational science/data analysis * Coordinate with other research scientists/engineers to develop software for research testbed and experimental gaming platforms * Contribute to technical reports and presentations ## Related Videos - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
