EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
The Afghanistan-Pakistan Center of Excellence, an internal think-tank established last year at the United States Central Command Headquarters in Tampa, Florida, is seeking to recruit and hire 170 highly qualified personnel as government civilians with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Opening this May, these jobs include full-time positions as well as internship opportunities in the summer, fall, and spring.
The Center is looking for highly motivated individuals with unique knowledge, skills, and abilities, to include academic concentrations or expertise in South/Central Asia studies, strategic studies, political science, international relations, history, sociology, cultural anthropology, Islamic Law, economics, statistics, geographic information systems, and languages like Dari, Farsi, Pashto, Urdu, and Hindi.
As an internal think-tank, the Center of Excellence is bringing together experts from the fight in Afghanistan and Pakistan, from the halls of academia, and from the interagency to stay focused on, build expertise in, and provide improved solutions-oriented analysis for the important missions in those countries and the states around them. The Center is also expanding the number of South and Central Asia experts by providing opportunities for cultural, language, and regional studies, and for deployments to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Interested students and alumni are encouraged to search for DIA civilian jobs and job/recruiting fairs through the DIA Human Resources website at http://diajobs.dia.mil/ as they become available. As an expedited process, interested students are also encouraged to send their resume directly to the Center of Excellence at coejobs@centcom.mil.
Finally, stay tuned for further recruitment events by the Center of Excellence that will occur over the summer semester!
