a. Bachelors’ degree in chemistry, biology, environmental science, physics, mathematics, computer science, or relevant engineering fields with at least four (4) years of work experience in one of these fields or Masters’/PhD degree with at least two (2) years of work experience in one of these fields; and
b. One (1) year technical program management
a. Candidates with one (1) year of scientific work experience outside of their core area of study or in more than one discipline or sub-discipline as stated in 4.1.1.
b. Two (2) years’ experience in the Intelligence Community (IC), including experience with requirements, CONOPS, and transition.
