DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory

Country flag

United States

Theory-Driven Big Data for Predicting Human Behavior is a research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Maryland, within the Humans in Complex Systems (HCxS) area. The project addresses a major challenge in the human sciences: traditional theory-driven approaches can explain behavior in controlled laboratory settings, while data-driven methods can achieve strong predictive performance on large datasets but may struggle to generalize or support theory building. This oppo...

About this position

Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is offering a part-time graduate internship in sociocognitive modeling focused on the characterization and analysis of information operations and influence. The project sits within the 711th Human Performance Wing and brings interns into a research environment that combines computational modeling, theory-driven social science, and practical questions about how information spreads and affects behavior.

The work centers on understanding how information propagation can lead to psychological activation and how resilience to information influence might be improved through theory and simulation. The selected intern will collaborate with AFRL researchers and a mentor to develop theories and models of the information environment, drawing on established social science principles.

Research activities may include building agent-based models of information exchange, developing sociocognitive models of memory and emotion, constructing complex statistical models of behavior trends, and producing recommendations based on systematic investigations of information and influence. The role also includes work with large, time-varying, unstructured datasets and implementation of complex computational models, including complex systems and cognitive modeling approaches.

The appointment is tied to AFRL’s 711th Human Performance Wing, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and is administered through ORISE. The internship is designed to complement academic training while supporting professional development in a research setting concerned with human performance, information effects, and resilience.

Funding details

Stipend of $1,750.00–$2,500.00 monthly; additional provisions may include health insurance supplement, relocation allowance, and training and travel allowance.

What's required

Applicants must be currently pursuing a doctoral degree and must be a U.S. citizen. Preferred qualifications include familiarity with current topics in information operations, information warfare, and cognitive warfare as they relate to the USAF; experience with experimental design using human subjects; statistical analysis and hypothesis testing; programming skills in a relevant language such as Python, R, Julia, or Rust; and academic and technical writing.

How to apply

Apply through the Zintellect application portal using the Apply button on the opportunity page. Prepare a Zintellect profile, educational and employment history, essay responses, resume, transcripts, and one recommendation before submitting. For questions, email [email protected] and include the reference code AFRL-711HPW-2026-0012 in the subject line.
