If you're like me, you want
to use your biology degree
for something meaningful —
something bigger than yourself.
The CIA is the perfect
place to make this happen.
Here, your talents
make it possible for us
to safeguard the national
security of America
through the collection
and production
of critical foreign
intelligence for the President
and senior policymakers.
When I come to work each day,
I know that I am contributing
to a mission greater
than myself.
As a Biologist, you
might be wondering
where you fit
in at the CIA.
There are a variety
of opportunities
that would allow you to use
your biology background.
You could serve as a Technical
Intelligence Officer as part
of the Directorate of Science
& Technology in the role
of technical analysis, technical
development, technical research
or technical operations.
You could also be a Science,
Technology & Weapons Analyst.
You would be analyzing
challenging national security
issues including foreign
weapons development,
weapons proliferation
and emerging technologies
of potential threat
to the United States.
Or, if you have a passion for
world affairs, you could serve
in the Directorate of
Operations where you would help
with the clandestine
collection and dissemination
of intelligence from
human sources.
This means you would be
directly involved with some
of the most sensitive
work this nation performs.
The Directorate of Operations
hires all backgrounds,
but with your understanding
of biology,
you may be better
positioned to identify
and understand scientific
information
that can address critical US
intelligence gaps regarding some
of the external threats we face.
Biologists have successful
careers in the Directorate
of Operations as Collection
Management Officers,
Operations Officers or
Staff Operations Officers.
No matter what professional
path you choose,
a career in the CIA will
give you a unique role
in keeping not only the United
States, but the world, safer.
You have a lot of career
choices in the CIA.
Now, the only question is:
Where do you want to serve?
