We have particular needs for specialists on China, the Middle East, and South Asia but also have openings for specialists on Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Military analysts support US policymakers by evaluating the conventional and unconventional weapons systems, defense resources, war-fighting capabilities, intentions, doctrine, and war-fighting of foreign governments, terrorists, and insurgency groups. They can also look at such political-military issues as peacekeeping activities, denial and deception, regional security arrangements, and bilateral and multilateral arms control and nonproliferation regimes and diplomatic negotiations.</p> <p> Agency analysts are encouraged to maintain and broaden professional ties through academic study, contacts, and attendance at professional meetings. Analysts may also choose to pursue additional studies in fields relevant to their areas of responsibility. Opportunities exist for foreign travel, language training, analytic and management training, and assignments in other offices in the Agency and throughout the US Government.</p> <p> *Higher starting salary possible depending on experience level.</p> <hr class="jobln"/> <p> <strong>Minimum requirements:  </strong>The DI requires a bachelor's degree with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. A master's degree, relevant work experience, or foreign language capability is desired but not required. The DI desires specialists who have military history, political science, international relations, or security studies degrees, or those with military experience -- either as officers or enlisted -- but particularly with backgrounds in operations or military intelligence. Good interpersonal skills, a willingness to learn, dedication to the mission are must-haves.</p> <p> All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.</p> <p> To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.</p> <p> <strong>Important Notice: </strong>Friends, family, individuals, or organizations may be interested to learn that you are an applicant for or an employee of the CIA. Their interest, however, may not be benign or in your best interest. You cannot control whom they would tell. We therefore ask you to exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position with the Agency. You will receive further guidance on this topic as you proceed through your CIA employment processing.</p> <p> To Apply:</p> <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="/web/20081210012729/https://www.cia.gov/careers/jobs/submit-resume/index.html?p=Military%20Analyst">Submit Resume Online</a> <p class="resaddrnote"> <strong><br/>Note:</strong> Multiple submissions are unnecessary and will slow the processing of your resume.
