National Security Agency

Understanding written and spoken language is a core skill of the National Security Agency mission. NSA language specialists are known as Language Analysts because they must apply their language skills to a variety of analytical tasks, which demand deep and accurate assessment of meaning and intent. To ensure that the Language Analyst workforce attains the skills required, NSA is seeking highly-qualified Language Instructors for full-time employment. Preferred candidates will have a deep knowledge of the languages they are teaching, at the level of an educated native speaker. They will have experience teaching adult students and will have knowledge of language teaching methodology. They should be skilled in teaching reading and listening comprehension, translation, and transcription.

Agency Language Instructors work in a fast-paced environment teaching through both platform courses and online instruction, using cutting edge instructional technology. Instructors sometimes work on teams, and sometimes individually. When not directly engaged in teaching, they develop new courses, use student feedback to update existing courses, work directly with Language Analysts on the job, and engage in other training to perfect their skills. For these positions high energy and personal creativity are a must.

As a Language Instructor at NSA, you will continue to develop your teaching abilities and learn new skills. You may take on additional responsibilities mentoring other instructors, managing your curriculum, co-teaching methodology courses to your fellow instructors, or be selected for short-term field assignments at various locations. There are many opportunities to branch out and expand your skill set. With us, in many senses the sky is the limit!

Applicants must be U.S. citizens to be considered (including naturalized U.S. citizens). To apply, applicants should submit a resume through the nsa.gov web site.
