This and other STB positions may be filled using Schedule A, 5 CFR 213.3102(u). Schedule A is an excepted service hiring authority used to appoint persons with severe physical disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. Such individuals may be converted to permanent status after two years of satisfactory service. Documentation of disability is required, that is, a Schedule A Letter, which is used to verify that the applicant qualifies under Schedule A. This documentation must be provided at the time of application. A Schedule A letter can be obtained from a licensed medical professional (e.g., a physician or other medical professional certified by a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory to practice medicine); a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist (i.e., state or private); or any Federal agency, state agency, or agency of the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits. A VA letter does not qualify as a Schedule A letter. If you are an individual with a disability and need an accommodation for the application process, please include the accommodation request with your Schedule A letter. Reasonable accommodation requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Because this vacancy announcement is a competitive announcement, in order to be considered under Schedule A, you must email your Schedule A documentation and resume directly to Keyonna Washington at keyonna.washington@stb.gov, instead of applying through USAJobs.
The Best Qualified Candidates will be referred to the hiring manager for further consideration and possible interview. Highly Qualified candidates may be referred if there is an insufficient pool of candidates in the Best Qualified group.
The Federal hiring process is set up to be fair and transparent. Please read the following guidance.
