As an expert in defense strategy, you’re driven by a passion for tackling complex challenges and uncovering insights that shape the future of our nation’s security. Your experience and expertise fuel your curiosity to think bigger, dive deeper, and push the boundaries of strategic analysis. We need your unique background and advisory skills to help solve some of the Air Force’s most pressing challenges and provide critical insights that will enhance our nation’s defense posture.

Your work will require sensitivity to shifts in the competitive environment, including the strategies and goals of adversaries, competitors, and third-party nations. You will analyze critical factors such as military balances, contingency outcomes, and competitive positions between the U.S. and other global players.

You will be at the forefront of net assessments, wargame analysis, and contingency studies. Your expertise will guide the strategic decisions of senior Air Force leaders by identifying key areas where the U.S. can exploit advantages over adversaries and ensure long-term competitiveness. You’ll also support the development of strategic initiatives through qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including statistical modeling, discourse analysis, and decision-analytic techniques.

As a key advisor, you’ll also contribute to strategic deterrence analysis related to U.S. nuclear forces, ally assurance, and counterproliferation. Your role will require you to think critically and recommend actionable strategies that maintain U.S. superiority and enhance our global standing.
