Center for Devices and Radiological Health, FDA

Application Deadlines:
• For Professionals:
◦ Applications are accepted year-round and should be submitted at least 3
months prior to the desired starting date.
• For Students:
◦ Students – Please note that for all federal agencies in the US a new program
called Pathways is now used as the portal to hire students. There may be
Pathways openings at other federal agencies. Please look at www.usajobs.gov (http://www.usajobs.gov), and search for the word Pathways and
your geographic area of interest to see if there are announcements. It is typical
that these announcements may be posted for one week, so a helpful tip is to
check every Monday morning or early in the week. There is no regular routine
posting schedule. Another tip is to learn to use the www.usajobs.gov
(http://www.usajobs.gov) website ahead of time, and have your resume and
transcripts available and ready. Follow the announcement instructions carefully
and submit all needed documents. If there are several similar announcements,
apply individually to each one for which you are qualified. For summer intern
positions, announcements may appear at any time but are especially likely to be
posted in December, January or February. Please search daily during these
months.
