The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Description:

LINGUISTS

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. 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:

Amharic                 Persian-Farsi
Arabic                  Somali
Chinese                 Sorani
Dari                    Tigrinya
Greek                   Turkish
Kermanii                Urdu/Punjabi
Pashto                  Uzbek

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.  Apply Online (only resumes will be accepted)
