Her responsibilities included the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and oversight of the Department of Defense laboratories, as well as being the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense for defense-related scientific and technical matters. At the time, it was the highest technical job ever held by a woman in the Department of Defense.[4] She returned to the University of Virginia in 1997. In the field of computer software systems and cyber-security, Dr. Jones has published more than 40 technical articles and two books.[3] In 2010 she officially retired but remains involved in the university and continues to mentor young women technologists."[4] She is on the Board of Trustees for IN-Q-TEL which "is the not-for-profit strategic investor that accelerates the development and delivery of cutting-edge technologies to national security agencies."[5] Board membershipsSince 2004, Jones has been a member of the MIT Corporation.
