National Security Agency/Central Security Service · Posted 60 days ago
About the Role
NSA is actively searching for mathematicians and mathematical statisticians like you to join a vibrant community of mathematicians, statisticians, physicists, computer scientists, data scientists, and other intelligence professionals.
What You'll Do
- →At NSA, mathematics and statistics are core disciplines present in every aspect of our mission: to protect our Nation.
- →The mission requires a strong offense and a steadfast defense.
- →The offense collects, processes, and disseminates intelligence information derived from foreign signals for intelligence and counterintelligence purposes.
- →The defense prevents adversaries from gaining access to sensitive classified national security information.
- →Mathematicians and Mathematical Statisticians contribute across our mission by bringing both subject matter expertise and creative, critical thinking.
- →A wide range of technical expertise finds a natural fit at NSA including, but not limited to, fields of algebra, combinatorics, Fourier analysis, operations research, graph analytics, regression, machine learning, exploratory data analysis, stochastic processes, statistical modeling, forecasting, and cryptography.
- →NSA solves its hardest problems and develops innovative solutions by bringing together people with a wide range of mathematical backgrounds, skills, and viewpoints, which is key for NSA mission success.
- →The Agency supports a dynamic mathematics community with substantial opportunities to learn and experiment in areas far from academic training.
- →Additionally, professional development is supported by hands-on training, seminar series, conference travel, and professional organizations.
- →These opportunities and core mission needs help make NSA the largest employer of mathematicians and mathematical statisticians in the country.
- →Newly-hired mathematicians and mathematical statisticians begin their careers in the Mathematics Development Program (MDP).
- →The goal of the three-year MDP is to provide on-the-job training in the broad range of mathematical and statistical sciences at NSA.
- →This is primarily accomplished through 6-month tours in NSA offices of the MDP participant's choosing.
- →Mentorship is provided for each tour and participants work on real mission problems.
