Defense Intelligence Agency - Summer Intern Program
The Defense Intelligence Agency is seeking students with Middle East expertise for our 2010 Summer Intern Program. Last year's solicitation resulted in more than 50 applicants. They selected 9 interns from school such as Columbia University and USCLA. DIA's Middle East-North Africa Office is responsible for political/military analysis in support of the White House, National Security Council, Department of Defense, and our military commanders in the field. Their challenging mission requires interns with superior and analytical skills. Arabic or Farsi language capability is highly desired.
This provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in their field of study. All DIA interns must be U.S. citizens since successful candidates are granted acccess to Top Secret/Special Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) data.
This 10-week, paid program provides practical hands-on experience. This office assigns real world projects that will broaden the intern's knowledge of the Middle East through classified and open source research as well as through interaction with other anlysits. Students will also be assigned senior mentors. Some past interns have had their classified products complemented by the U.S. Secretaries of Defense and State.
The strategic purpose of the program is to identify candidates for future employment. The best interns receive permanent job offers contingent upon their graduation with an impressive academic record.
For more information about the program or how to apply, visit www.dia.mil or contact Mr. Roseal Fowlkes at 202-231-8228.
