I’d love to hire someone with a disability for this position, and applicants can use the Schedule A Hiring Authority. Please apply quickly though, as the vacancy announcement closes either on December 3, 2022 or once we receive 150 applications, whichever is sooner. The locality says Woodlawn, Maryland, but this is a remote inside position, which means the individual can live anywhere in the USA but would be responsible for getting themselves to Baltimore for in-person meetings periodically. Please also note the salary listed is the base salary for any Federal job and does not include locality pay, which could raise the minimum salary a lot. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p>
