"The Rutgers Institute for Secure Communities (RISC) brings together experts from across Rutgers University with domestic and international partners to use cutting-edge research, data and scholarship to support law enforcement and intelligence agencies in preventing violence, protecting vulnerable communities and promoting fair and efficient practices."

Since that time, Rutgers University-New Brunswick has established a popular, new minor in Critical Intelligence Studies in collaboration with the SAS Political Science Department; executed a number of certificate programs in intelligence/national security for undergraduate and graduate students across the University; hosted conferences on the most pressing issues in the field; and developed programs to prepare students for potential careers within the intelligence community.
CCIS leverages ties with federal agencies and others to expand educational and career opportunities for (1) Rutgers students through increased opportunities for interaction with law enforcement and intelligence professionals and (2) practitioners in the field by leveraging classroom and distance learning resources.

US Department of State- DOS

Most of these State Department employees are in Washington, but they also work in various other locations around the country and, in unusual cases, at embassies abroad. The State Department describes this employment in its website at: https://careers.state.gov/civil-service. Applicants for civil service positions in the State Department apply for specific openings. For an explanation of the application process, see: https://careers.state.gov/faqs.
Potential employees are required to be U.S. citizens, pass mandatory pre-employment and periodic drug testing and polygraph testing, and obtain Top Secret/SCI clearance. The security clearance is a long process that one must go through while applying to any federal jobs. To clarify just how long this process takes and exactly what you will be going through, please educate yourself on the Security Clearance Process and know that it often takes a minimum of 9 months to a year to get the clearance before you start the job. So be sure to go about your job search on other opportunities and be ready to be called when the federal jobs come calling. Be aware that if you are in a federal job application process, that you should not be travelling outside of the country. If you have to travel, be sure to contact the outreach coordinators who are handling your application and let them know you will not be available to communicate during your travel dates. Keep a constant log of your travel, work experience, educational institutions so that when you need to fill out your application, you will be ready.

*Tip from OCHA workshops** - "Required criteria are mandatory, if you do not meet these you will not be considered eligible. Desirable criteria are not mandatory, but may be considered in the final decision - a hiring manager may prefer to select a suitable candidate who also meets the desirable criteria (if there is one) as opposed to one who only meets the required criteria. Some UN job applications use a system that screens for required criteria to automatically filter applications; in rare cases when there are a very large number of applicants, this function may also be applied to the "desirable" criteria. That said, please don't be discouraged from applying if you do not meet all of the desirable criteria - you are most often eligible and are encouraged to apply if you meet all of the required criteria. Even if you don't get the job you apply for, some agencies will keep applicants on a roster for future consideration. Be sure to include all languages - including English."
