Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.

In our data‑driven society, we convert data to actionable information and communicate the resulting decisions to others. In response to that need, the Information and Communications Laboratory is a fundamental and applied research laboratory focused on transdisciplinary research across the entire information science hierarchy. The laboratory has over 200 research and support personnel working on over $50M of funded research per year.

ICL’s fundamental strength is Information Science, a discipline that investigates the properties and behavior of data and information, the flow of data and information in systems, and the means of processing information for optimum accessibility and usability. ICL has broad and deep capabilities across the data science hierarchy of needs, and our key areas of research focus on systems that adapt to their operational environment, as well as scalable enterprise system modernization and transformation.

Core research areas include (alphabetically): advanced computing systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning, communications, data analytics, decision support systems, electronic warfare, embedded software, enterprise applications, 5G/Future

G, health analytics and informatics, information science, interoperable data architectures, the intersection of cognitive performance and artificial intelligence, radio frequency (RF) propagation modeling, socio‑technical systems, software‑defined RF systems, spectrum analytics, STEM education, and trusted systems. ICL conducts research that solves complex problems for a range of domains, including national security, health, intelligence, law enforcement and justice, and economic impact for the state of Georgia.

This position will be based out of the Quantico Field Office, located in Stafford, Virginia. GTRI has had a presence on or near the Quantico Marine Corps Base for more than 25 years. GTRI has a history of supporting MARCORSYSCOM, MARCORLOGCOM, PEO Land Systems, Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, and other USMC organizations. The purpose of this role is to secure existing and establish new strategic funded partnerships with USMC or other National Security entities in the greater Washington, D.C. area -- connecting the mission‑focused University Affiliated Research Center expertise of GTRI with imminent and emerging requirements.

In addition to securing and establishing new partnerships, this role will also oversee the execution of programs and contracts, leveraging the on‑site presence and locality to improve responsiveness to our sponsors and overall project outcomes. This position will report directly to the ICL Director to reinforce the GTRI‑wide potential for impact and influence.
