Opportunities for Commissioned Officers

Working at USMA at West Point is a personally and professionally rewarding experience. West Point employs a number of military staff and faculty in a variety of roles - both inside and outside of the classroom. Regardless of the position, teaching at USMA means developing the next generation of Army officers as well as being part of the intellectual center of the Army at a unique, historic post about one hour from New York City. Military faculty do NOT need to be West Point graduates to apply.

Opportunities for Non-Commissioned Officers

Non-Commissioned Officers can serve at USMA in several capacities - each instrumental in the development of the next generation of Army officers. NCOs selected for a tour at West Point are leaders in their career field. The assignment is highly selective and extremely rewarding.
