About The Position

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is hiring a Counterintelligence Analyst within its Counterintelligence Program to conduct counterintelligence and counterterrorism research, analysis, reporting, collaboration, training, and information management. The role identifies threats and supports national-security stakeholders. It reports to the Supervisory Analyst and offers a hybrid schedule, with the flexibility to work from home one day per week during non-Alternate Work Schedule work weeks. The position may be filled at either the K02.1 or K02.2 level, based on the hiring team’s assessment of knowledge and related experience. At the K02.1 level, the analyst conducts research and analysis supporting counterintelligence and counterterrorism investigations under senior staff direction; collects, analyzes, and combines information from open and secure sources; supports threat assessments and intelligence products; assists with briefings, debriefings, and presentations; supports DOE data calls and program initiatives; contributes to interorganizational collaboration and awareness training; and manages information in Laboratory and U.S. Intelligence Community systems. At the K02.2 level, the analyst independently performs comprehensive research and complex analysis with limited direction, produces complex threat assessments and intelligence products, participates in or leads collaborative analytical projects, provides general direction to support staff and junior analysts, and assists senior staff in developing programmatic and policy recommendations. The position requires an active DOE Q-level clearance or an active Top Secret clearance issued by another U.S. government agency at the time of hire, and the ability to obtain and maintain SCI access. An existing Q or Top Secret clearance does not guarantee SCI approval; denial of access may result in reinvestigation of an existing clearance. External applicants selected must pass a post-offer, pre-employment drug test. Depending on duties, the role may require work in Limited Areas where personal or Laboratory mobile and wireless devices are restricted.
