Current excepted service federal employees.
This position is open to current employees of the U.S. Federal government.
This position is with the Office of Inspector General, Office of General Counsel (OGC). The OGC is responsible for providing legal advice and services to the Inspector General (IG) with respect to audits, evaluations, inspections, and investigations of the DOI's programs, operations, and employee conduct; investigation of employee complaints; reports to Congress; and the government ethics program.
As a Supervisory Attorney-Adviser you will serve as the Deputy Counsel for General Law, overseeing and advising on legal matters pertaining to the oversight of the DOI's programs and operations:

To ensure compliance with an applicable preliminary nationwide injunction, which may be supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of ongoing litigation, the Federal Government will take no action to implement or enforce the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to Executive Order 14043 on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees. Therefore, to the extent a Federal job announcement includes the requirement that applicants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 pursuant to E.O. 14043, that requirement does not currently apply. Federal agencies may request information regarding the vaccination status of selected applicants for the purposes of implementing other workplace safety protocols, such as protocols related to masking, physical distancing, testing, travel, and quarantine.
Applicants must meet initial and periodic suitability determinations based on favorable background investigations and updates.
Additional selections may be made within 90 days from the closing date of this vacancy announcement.
