Washington, DC metropolitan area |
Our undergraduate co-op program seeks motivated undergraduate students to
serve as co-ops in the Information Technology offices and centers of CIA's
Directorate of Support. Undergraduate co-ops will work in a team responsible for
the operation and support of Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers. Team members
are actively involved in the deployment of new server capabilities, including
software upgrades, hardware recapitalization, and the introduction of new
systems. The team ensures the 24 x 7 x 365 availability of workgroup server
services to customers throughout the Agency. In addition, the team engages in
server performance analysis and tuning, capacity planning, and other long range
and analytical activities to provide robust and reliable workgroup computing
services to support the Agency's mission.
Students selected for this program are often attending academic institutions
with established cooperative education programs, though not exclusively. They
work on an alternating semester or quarterly basis and are expected to spend a
minimum of three semesters or four quarters (this can include a summer tour) on
the job prior to graduation. The undergraduate co-op program provides
increasingly challenging assignments that are commensurate with the students'
academic training and individual ability to assume additional
responsibility.
Minimum qualifications: Students should be pursuing an undergraduate
degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering with emphasis in server
hardware and software. A GPA of 3.0 or better is required. All applicants must
successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological examination, a
polygraph interview, and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship
is required.
To be considered for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have
used illegal drugs within the last 12 months. The issue of illegal drug use
prior to 12 months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security
processing.
Important Notice: Friends, family, individuals, or
organizations may be interested to learn that you are an applicant for or an
employee of the CIA. Their interest, however, may not be benign or in your best
interest. You cannot control whom they would tell. We therefore ask you to
exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position
with the Agency. You will receive further guidance on this topic as you proceed
through your CIA employment processing.

Note: Multiple submissions are unnecessary and will
slow the processing of your resume. Of course, if you made an error in your
submission or need to update your resume, you may submit another resume. The
second resume will overwrite the first.
