  6. Maintain comprehensive documentation of edge cases and the legal authorities supporting each conclusion.

Preferred Qualifications

  4. Service at a command, combatant command legal office, or targeting cell (US or allied forces).
  5. Experience leading reviews, teaching, or providing legal advisory services in operational contexts.
  6. Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills with a focus on written and verbal clarity.
  7. Exposure to intelligence law, cyber law, or the interplay between IHL and international human rights law is a plus.
  8. Prior experience in AI evaluation, wargaming, or governance initiatives is considered an asset.
