CIMSEC is an all-volunteer organization committed to maritime security and naval affairs. Our volunteers help CIMSEC produce content, edit article submissions, manage the organization, and execute special initiatives. CIMSEC welcomes new volunteer applications who want to bolster our organization across a range of operations.

The types of positions and functions are described in more detail below. Beyond these categories, we also welcome individuals interested in maritime security who wish to contribute their skillsets to CIMSEC in some fashion. We may not always have ready openings at the time you inquire, but are glad to keep candidates in mind as opportunities develop.
