Mathematicians at NSA enjoy the type of dynamic environment that only the largest employer of mathematicians can offer. In addition to our own in-house publications, we offer summer workshop programs, continuing colloquia, cooperative education programs, and occasional meetings that provide opportunities to interact with mathematicians both within and outside the agency. NSA also awards grants for research in cryptology and related areas. Further, as a member of the NSA professional staff, you will have access to support services. For example, our computer services are available to assist you with research.
Publishing is important to all serious mathematicians.
NSA provides ample opportunity to inform your contemporaries of your work. The in-house publication, Cryptologic Quarterly, is one such forum. Because of the nature of the work, however, publications outside the NSA community must be cleared through our public information office. And of course, any classified techniques you are involved with cannot be reported. Mathematical sabbaticals can run from 9 to 24 months, and we are flexible regarding start dates.
