The CIA's Directorate of Intelligence (DI) seeks experienced social and I-O psychologists and psychiatrists to research, analyze, and write assessments of foreign leaders, societal impacts of disease and disaster, and decision-making groups for the most senior US Government policymakers. These analysts would work closely with regional leadership and political analysts throughout the Intelligence Community, as well as other health professionals in government and academia to produce current and longer-term intelligence products. They are encouraged to maintain and to broaden professional ties through outreach to academia, continuing education, and attendance at professional meetings. They also may pursue—and be sponsored for—additional studies in fields relevant to their area of responsibility. Opportunities exist for foreign and domestic travel, language training, analytic and management training, and assignments in other offices in the Agency.

Minimum requirements include an M.D., PhD., or Psy.D from an accredited US university in a relevant academic program, at least five years of work experience in a post-graduate, post-supervised practice with adults in a clinical setting that involved some work with normal (neurotic)—preferably high-functioning—populations or practice/research in the nexus of personality and group, organizational or societal dynamics and outcomes related to decision-making, effectiveness, aggression, cooperation, and/or intergroup function. Demonstrated excellent communication and computer skills with the ability to formulate and communicate complex concepts to a lay audience, clearly, concisely, and rapidly and to adjust presentation to different formats, consumers, and purposes are also required.

All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.

To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.

We therefore ask you to exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position with the Agency.
