THIS POSITION IS NOT TO EXCEED 9/16/16 AND MAY BE EXTENDED FOR UP TO ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL NOT TO EXCEED DATE AT MANAGEMENT'S DISCRETION.
The practice of law at the FDIC reflects the broad nature of the FDIC's work as well as its unique statutory powers. For example, because the FDIC has independent litigating authority, our attorneys practice before virtually all courts. FDIC attorneys develop case strategy, write the briefs and appear in court for arguments. The FDIC's Legal Division is a full service corporate practice providing not only litigation but transactional, regulatory and administrative legal services to the Corporation.
The applicants selected will be offered an excepted appointment not-to-exceed 9/16/16. After successful completion of the program requirements and based on FDIC’s needs, the selectees may be non-competitively converted to a Term or Permanent position based upon an evaluation of performance, completion of at least 640 hours of work experience acquired through the Internship Program, and a skills assessment. However, service in the FDIC Internship Program confers no right to further employment in the competitive or excepted service.
Additional selections may be made from this vacancy announcement to fill identical vacancies that occur subsequent to this announcement.
This position does not have promotion potential.
