The positions will be filled using any one of the following

as experience, education and training, self-development and
outside activities. Selection(s) will then be made from
among the best-qualified candidates.
2) Schedule A (Excepted Service): This method of recruitment
permits the selection of otherwise qualified candidate(s) as
determined by the Department's Personnel Office based on a
physical disability. To be selected using this appointing
authority, candidate(s) must provide appropriate
certification from a counselor of either the Federal
Department of Veterans Affairs or a State vocational
rehabilitation agency. The certification must state that in
the counselor's judgment, the proposed appointee for the
position has the ability to perform the duties of the
position and is physically qualified to do the work.
Through use of this appointing authority, candidate(s) may
be selected without regard to competitive selection
procedures.
3) Excepted Appointing Authority for Administratively
Determined (AD) Positions: This method of recruitment
provides the needed flexibility to recruit and hire highly
qualified, exceptionally talented administrators,
researchers, scholars, scientists,
statisticians, practitioners, parents of children with
disabilities, and other professionals. Through use of this
appointing authority, candidate(s) may be selected without
regard to competitive selection procedures. The terms of an
appointment made under this authority may be for one year or
less, three years or less, or indefinite.
OSERS' mission is to provide leadership in achieving full
integration and participation in society for individuals with
disabilities by ensuring equal opportunity and access to and
excellence in education, employment and community living. I
strongly encourage all potential candidates to apply for these
key positions. Even if you are not interested in any of the
positions, I encourage you to send me your resume so that we may
add it to our files for consideration as other positions become
available in the future.
It is our firm expectation that through this recruitment effort,
we will be able to attract a number of highly qualified
individuals, including those with disabilities, to fill these
mid-level staff and management positions. This will enable OSERS
to meet the goals identified in its current Strategic Plan,
especially those aimed at maintaining high performance for the
organization.
All applicants will receive consideration regardless of race,
age, religion, sex, national origin, political affiliation, union
affiliation or non-affiliation, marital status, non-disqualifying
physical disability, or any other non-merit reason.
Sincerely,
Judith E. Heumann
