The Cryptanalysis and Signals Analysis Summer Program (CASASP) gives undergraduate mathematicians and computer scientists a chance to contribute to mission-essential technical operations at the National Security Agency (NSA). Our mission is to transform collected data into a format analysts can readily consume for intelligence purposes by analyzing signals and protocols, and overcoming security measures. Each summer we invite twelve students to learn, use, and further NSA’s tradecraft as they work on operational problems of national importance. If you possess imagination, initiative and intellectual curiosity, apply for the CASASP. The CASASP runs from the end of May through the middle of August and is open to students majoring in mathematics, computer science, or a related field. Some programming is desirable. CASASP begins with classified briefings on modern cryptography and on operational projects which will form the basis for research throughout the summer. Problems involve applications of math, statistics, computer science, reverse engineering, and software development. We work with data from many sources, analyze a wide range of technologies, and provide access to cutting-edge computing resources. Results are integrated into production systems to provide new capabilities to our organization.

What we make frees people from having to constantly learn the lingo of technology, and instead just let them communicate in the language of people. No more memorizing commands, sifting through endless menus of mediocre applications, or investing more time, money and energy into trying to make the systems actually do what you need instead of what they want. Technology should work in service of people, and adapt to the way people communicate instead of forcing people to adapt to the machines. We are pioneers in making technology fluent in all things human: from understanding spoken words and extracting their meaning to adaptively and seamlessly interpreting the swipe of a fingertip. Every interaction can finally be understood to deliver exactly what a person needs. And we continuously evolve the ability to perceive the nuance of words, actions and meaning — to fit seamlessly into your life, your business and your world.

In the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN/DESA), training and fellowships activity is carried out in the form of fellowships, study tours, and group training: A Fellowship in the UN system is a specially tailored or selected training activity that provides a monetary grant to qualified individuals for the purpose of fulfilling special learning objectives. A Study Tour is an award for a development cooperation activity, commonly given to an individual or group of individuals to visit pre-arranged sites and institutions in one or more selected countries – normally no more than two weeks and never exceeding two months. The objective is to observe developments, gather information and exchange experiences with counterparts in fields pertaining to specific country agreements or project documents. Group Training is a flexible arrangement made to meet the requirements of two or more nationals working in a project or programme. They receive practical training within the country designed to upgrade skills, or attend specially designed, practical training courses, seminars, symposia, workshops or technical meetings outside the country. Fellowships are awarded only to candidates nominated by their respective Governments and are not, in principle, awarded for the pursuit of academic studies leading to degrees or diplomas. They are intended to give persons entrusted with functions important to the development of their countries the opportunity to broaden their professional knowledge and experience by acquainting themselves with advanced methods and techniques. A particular training programme may include attendance at an academic institution where a fellowship holder may be called upon to qualify for a specific professional diploma. However, the main purpose of fellowships is to enable the holders to derive from their training the knowledge and professional competence which will enable them to participate more actively in the economic and social development of their countries, and to increase their ability to help solve practical problems upon their return home.
