Description |
As an NSA Language Analyst, you will be involved in activities that focus on research, translation, transcription, reporting, and analysis of materials of national concern. You will be involved in projects that have global ramifications. We are particularly interested in those individuals who are proficient in Asian or Middle Eastern languages. Although the Agency's language requirements may change at any time, we are currently hiring people with the following language skills:
Arabic
Chinese
Pashto
Persian-Farsi
Russian
Turkish
Urdu/Punjabi
Other languages of Sub-Saharan Africa
NSA Language Analysts can have a powerful impact in providing the fullest and most accurate Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) picture to U.S. policymakers, military commanders, and Intelligence Community members. Working directly with the original written or spoken language, the Language Analyst is the first person to determine the relevance of, to analyze, and to put into context the intelligence collected. It's a tremendous responsibility, but one which is extremely satisfying.
As a Language Analyst at NSA, you will continue to develop your language abilities and you will learn new skills. For example, you may be called upon to further your understanding of a culture in which a certain language is spoken, expanding your horizons more than a comparable career in business, commerce, or academia normally would.
Let's talk about your advancement potential. As an NSA Language Analyst you may take on additional research and reporting responsibilities; apply for field assignments abroad; elect to teach at our National Cryptologic School using live language broadcasting via SCOLA (Satellite Communications for Learning Association); and learn new languages at our National Cryptologic School or through reimbursed language courses at prestigious local colleges and universities.
The NSA advantages are important work, real-world impact, strong growth potential, and the world's best language resources. Depending on the language skills you possess and mission needs, you may be offered a position in Maryland, Hawaii, Georgia, or Texas.
