NSA accepting applications for linguist/language analyst
The National Security Agency is accepting applications for a Linguist/Language Analyst, entry to experienced level. The position may be available at multiple locations: Maryland, Texas, Georgia, Utah, Colorado, Hawaii, and Alaska.
As a language analyst, you will use your passion for foreign language and strong oral communication, written communication, and critical thinking skills to research, translate, transcribe, report, and analyze foreign intelligence. Your foreign language and English skills will provide key decision makers with a complete and accurate picture of the context within which the decision is being made (i.e. provide an understanding of the nuance, context, cultural overtones, and dialect in which the communication occurred). Another way to use your foreign language skills at NSA is to work as a scientific linguist. Scientific linguists support the mission by designing, developing, evaluating, and/or integrating products to enhance the understanding of mission critical foreign languages or materials by applying linguistic knowledge (e.g. syntax, morphology, phonetics, semantics) to address operational problems.
The application deadline is December 14. Visit the program website for further information.
