Why we read it this way (6)
This is a paid part-time student internship (OPS) at the University of Florida, open to enrolled UF students who are at least 18 years old and maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA; non-students may qualify as OPS Interns with a high school diploma or equivalent.
No specific named technologies are hard-required. The GRC tool used by ISO is not named in the posting; 'GRC tools' is listed as a preferred context skill based on the job description narrative.
Knowledge of cybersecurity threats/vulnerabilities, strong writing skills, and technical certifications are all listed under the 'Preferred' section only.
The role is explicitly on-site in Gainesville, FL; work visa sponsorship is not available; a Level 2 Criminal Background Screening is required.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role is internship-level and blends risk analysis/GRC work (closer to 15-1212 Information Security Analysts) with general administrative support tasks; 15-1299 is noted as an alternative given the entry-level, generalist nature of the position.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
