“You'll support Air Force scientific research — assisting with experiments, data collection, and technical work in Air Force research laboratories. Scientific research experience transfers to defense contractor research support, government laboratory positions, and the foundation for advanced technical education. AFRL assignments put you in proximity to cutting-edge Air Force research programs.”
Scientific applications work in the Air Force means supporting research programs in Air Force laboratories — doing the experimental support, data collection, and technical documentation that research programs depend on. Air Force Research Laboratory assignments at Wright-Patterson, Edwards, Kirtland, and Rome put you in proximity to genuinely interesting research. The experience is a strong foundation for graduate education applications. Government laboratory and defense contractor research support careers are accessible from this background. The research environment is more academic than most Air Force assignments and the culture reflects that.
