Individuals selected from this vacancy announcement will work a full-time work schedule for at least eight weeks between the months of May through September. Upon completion of the summer internship period individuals will be placed on leave without pay (LWOP) until completion of their academic program or until they are returned to duty for another period of internship. Based upon organizational need, availability of funding, student availability, and the student's academic schedule, individuals may be returned to duty for short durations during breaks in school (i.e. Fall, Winter, or Spring Break) or part-time employment throughout the Fall and Spring semesters, so long as their work schedule does not interfere with their academic requirements and schedule.
Individuals selected from this vacancy announcement may be offered the opportunity to work a part-time or full-time work schedule prior to May, if funding is available.
You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.
Please Note: Before attempting to take the assessments, applicants should view sample items to determine if the computer they are using is likely to experience any issues during testing. The sample items can be found at https://usahire.opm.gov/assess/default/sample/Sample.action. If you have questions about the computer requirements or require technical assistance, please contact HelpDesk@usahire.opm.gov.
These sample items may also help you to decide whether to request a Reasonable Accommodation for taking the assessments because of a disability (physical or mental) covered by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and Americans with Disabilities Act 1990, as amended. If you believe you have a disability that would interfere with completing the online assessments, click here for more information about the assessments and the request process: http://www.usajobs.gov/content/pdfs/AssessReasonableAccommodation.pdf.
Requests for reasonable accommodations for the online assessments must be received before the Job Opportunity Announcement closes to be considered for this job opening.

After notification of the adjudication of your request, you will receive an email invitation and have 48 hours from the time the invitation is sent to complete the assessments.
Application of Veterans Preference: The Category Rating Method does not add veterans' preference points or apply the "rule of three," but protects the rights of veterans by placing them ahead of non-preference eligibles within each category. Preference eligibles who meet minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent must be listed in the highest quality category, except when the position being filled is scientific or professional at the GS-9 grade level or higher. A selecting official may make selections from the highest quality category (Best Qualified) provided no preference eligible in that category is passed over to select a non-preference eligible in that category unless the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 3317(b) or 3318(b) are satisfied.
