EEOC has started a Fellows Program offering six- to 12-month temporary assignments at the agency for federal employees as well as members of academia. The target audience includes professionals in the areas of equal employment opportunity, human resources, and law, as well as experts in other relevant fields.
The program has several components:
* The Distinguished Fellows Program is open to federal employees at the GS-14 grade level and above, or equivalents in the academic community, interested in assignments to the EEOC for a minimum of six months.
* The Meritorious Fellows Program is open to federal employees at the GS-13 level and below, or equivalents in the academic community, interested in assignments for less than six months.
* The Exchange Program is open to EEOC employees and others interested in exchanging jobs based on mutual agreement.
The application process requires an endorsement by the agency head, a written narrative describing professional contributions and addressing one’s interest in the fellows program, and two letters of reference. Applications may be sent by e-mail to eeocfp@eeoc.gov, or to Marcia Coates, EEOC Fellows Executive Director, Office of Federal Operations, 1801 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20507.
