Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Overview Use your linguistics background to become an FBI special agent! The transition from language and linguistics to special agent is more than a career move—it’s an opportunity to upskill and become an expert in your field. At the FBI, you won’t just use your translation experience; you’ll also work on cases that challenge you to think critically, adapt quickly, and collaborate with elite professionals tackling national security threats. Your ability to uncover crucial information, problem-solve, and apply your technical knowledge will help protect our nation from cyberattacks, terrorism, fraud, and evolving threats. With specialized training, real‑world investigative experience, and access to cutting‑edge technology, you’ll refine your interpreting and localization skills, enhance your expertise, and develop the foundation to become a leader in your field. The Bureau supports professional growth, a supportive work environment, and a robust benefits package that prioritizes you. Major Duties Plan and conduct investigations of potential violations of federal laws, cybersecurity, and public safety. Exercise judgment, resourcefulness, and versatility in meeting investigative demands. Create and maintain effective liaison relationships with federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and international law enforcement agencies. Maintain a level of physical fitness to ensure the readiness required to perform law‑enforcement duties. Key Requirements Must be a U.S. citizen. Must be able to obtain a Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Clearance. Must be willing to travel as required. Must meet the FBI’s Employment Eligibility requirements. Education Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree or higher (preferably in linguistics, foreign language, or a related field) from a U.S. accredited college or university. All degrees must be verified by submitting college transcripts. Salary Level $103,236.00 – $133,200.00 Equal Opportunity Employer The FBI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for this vacancy. Unless explicitly authorized by law, selection will be made without regard to, and there will be no discrimination because of, color, race, religion, national origin, marital status, parental status, physical or mental disability, genetic information, age (40 or over), sex, pregnancy and related conditions, or on the basis of personal favoritism, or any other non‑merit factors. #J-18808-Ljbffr
