Qualifications:AD-1701-03/05/07
U.S. Naval War College. The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) is a Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) institution serving the nation, the Department of War (DoW), and the U.S. Navy. U.S. and selected international graduates earn Master of Arts degrees in National Security & Strategic Studies or Defense & Strategic Studies accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). The College educates and develops future leaders through the development of strategic perspective, critical thinking, and cultural awareness, as well as enhancing the capability to advise and eventually serve as senior leaders and policy makers. The College also helps to define the future Navy and its roles and missions; supports combat readiness; strengthens global maritime partnerships; and promotes ethics and leadership throughout the force. We are actively seeking candidates with varied academic and professional backgrounds. More information on the college can be found at www.usnwc.edu.
War Gaming Department. The War Gaming Department (WGD) conducts research, analysis and gaming to support the requirements of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), the combatant commanders, the Navy component commanders, the Navy numbered fleet commanders, other Navy and Marine Corps commanders, the U.S. intelligence community and other departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. The desired effect is a program of focused, forward-thinking, timely and relevant research, analysis and gaming that anticipates future operational and strategic challenges; develops and assesses strategic and operational concepts to address those challenges; and assesses the risk associated with these concepts. You can learn more about the WGD at our webpage: https://usnwc.edu/Research-andWargaming/Wargaming.
Responsibilities. Specific responsibilities include: working in teams; developing research, analysis, gaming and analytic reporting to assess challenges with respect to the Navy and the Nation; helping to define future Navy challenges to support development of concepts of operations and innovation; and supporting senior decision-makers on a wide range of operational and strategic challenges.
Qualifications and Competencies. A master's degree from an accredited university is required. While degrees in security studies or social sciences are traditional, candidates with advanced degrees in STEM fields (e.g., engineering, mathematics, computer science, or physical sciences) or other highly analytical disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. in an analytical or research-oriented field is preferred.
Significant experience in designing, executing, and reporting on complex research or analytical projects is required; experience on security or defense-related issues is preferred but not mandatory if the methodological experience is robust. Experience working within interdisciplinary research teams, specifically in wargaming, experimentation, modeling and simulation, or systems analysis, is highly preferred.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate an ability to analyze armed conflict, possess a working knowledge of U.S. and international military capabilities, and understand evolving concepts of joint military operations. Furthermore, candidates should possess a high level of proficiency in advanced research and analytical methodologies, such as:
  • Operations Research and Decision Analysis
  • Data Science, Statistics, and Computational Modeling
  • Field Experimentation and Game Design
  • Mixed-methods research and Systems Thinking

Candidates must be U.S. citizens capable of obtaining a DoW security clearance at the TOP SECRET/SCI level. The selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment drug screening test and random drug testing thereafter.Education:Employment Type: OTHER
