The National Security Agency is the Nation's cryptologic organization.
It coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to
protect U.S. information systems and produce foreign intelligence
information. A high technology organization, NSA is on the frontiers
of communications and data processing. It is also one of the most
important centers of foreign language analysis and research within the
Government. We currently have immediate openings available in our
Hawaii location for individuals who are proficient in Asian
languages.
As an NSA Linguist, you will be involved in activities that focus on
research translation, transcription, reporting, and analysis of
materials of national concern. You may be involved in projects that
have global ramifications.
A linguistic career with the NSA develops your ability to evaluate
communications, taking into account cultural and political factors of
current and historical value. You may also 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. In short, your language skills
will make a world of difference here.
Let's speak about your advancement potential. As an NSA linguist 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); learn new
languages at our National Cryptologic School or through reimbursed
language courses at prestigious local colleges and universities...
The NSA advantages are hard-to-ignore important work, real-world
impact, strong growth potential, and the world's best language
resources.
