Delivering Quality Intelligence Products on Controversial Topics

DATE: 02/15/24

TIME: 12PM (ET)

LOCATION: Rutgers - New Brunswick

How do you navigate sensitive and controversial topics in a professional setting?

Join Rutgers lecturer Dean Baratta and learn how to deliver quality intelligence products on such topics.

Intelligence analysis often involves work on topics that are emotionally sensitive or politically controversial. Navigating those challenges, both as a professional AND as a human being can be difficult even for seasoned analysts. In this talk we'll discuss some ways to approach these issues in ways that support your mission, maintain credibility and coherence within your team, and allow you to stay emotionally healthy.

NC Labs at Rutgers

The NC Lab at Rutgers provides an immersive training program in which students are prepared to participate as active members of a multidisciplinary research team. Students of varying backgrounds, from literature, to psychology, to mathematics and computer science, learn by observing, integrating, and modeling the latest cutting-edge techniques and skills essential for deriving intelligence from open sources.

National Intelligence University

Selected students will work under the mentorship of NIU faculty with expertise and backgrounds in intelligence, military, and foreign policy. This program will provide an opportunity for students to support groundbreaking research to advance U.S. intelligence processes and foreign policy efforts. The number of fellowships is limited and students will be matched with various NIU centers based on their knowledge and skills.

United States Coast Guard - Sector New York

Students participating in the fellowship will work with lead researchers and experts on real world issues related to the intelligence community. Research fellows will also broaden academic and professional ties by working with academics and IC professionals. Students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Environmental Investigation Agency

Students participating in the fellowship will work with lead researchers and experts on real world issues such as transnational wildlife crime, global marine ecosystems, and climate change.

National Security Agency (NSA)

Signals Analyst Development Program

The NSA/CSS Signals Analysis Development Program (SADP) is a three-year development program of intensive, structured, formal training courses and diverse work assignments designed to produce professional signals analysts.

Signals Analysts analyze signals from various sources including: foreign communications, radar, and other electronic systems. The selected individual will apply their base-knowledge in mathematics, computer engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or physics to exploit advanced signals data to aid Department of Defense initiatives to protect U.S. forces around the globe.

The selected individual will work in a dynamic environment with duties that may include the following:

• Identify and analyze waveforms in different domains (e.g., weapon or aircraft systems, communications systems)

• Identify and analyze bit streams (e.g., multiplexers, error correction, voice and video compression, instrumentation systems)

• Identify and analyze protocols (e.g., link layer, network layer, application layer)

Deadline: 02/14/24
