Dear colleague,
NRL's Software Engineering research group, headed by Constance 
Heitmeyer, is offering student internships for Summer 2013. Several 
ongoing projects within the section, all in the general area of formal 
methods for the software engineering of critical systems, have positions 
available. US citizenship is required for these positions.
Students interested in interning at NRL must submit an application 
online via the USAJOBS website during one of the quarterly three day 
periods when the NRL Pathways vacancy announcement is posted to USAJOBS. 
Currently, the summer internship vacancy announcement for NRL is 
scheduled to appear on USAJOBS during the period 12-14 February 2013, 
but it is possible that the exact dates of the period may change. 
Therefore, in addition to the required application process via USAJOBS, 
we also highly recommend that students contact us directly (at 
myla.archer@xxxxxxxxxxxx or elizabeth.leonard@xxxxxxxxxxxx) so that we 
are aware of their interest. Although this is not required, it will help 
us to keep interested students informed of any changes in the process as 
they occur and will help us identify promising candidates earlier in the 
process.
If you know of any graduate or outstanding undergraduate students who 
would be interested in interning at NRL this summer, we would appreciate 
your recommending to them that they contact us and forwarding to them 
the attached announcement, which describes the internship opportunities 
in our research group and the application process.
Best regards,
Myla Archer and Elizabeth Leonard
