Department of Education Headquarters
22 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Department of Education administers federal education funding and student aid, enforces civil rights laws in schools and colleges, and collects and publishes education statistics. It is one of the smallest cabinet departments by headcount, and its jobs are concentrated in grants management, program analysis, policy, IT, investigation and legal adjudication rather than in classrooms. Its Office of Inspector General posts under the department as well.
Recent listings have included grant management specialists, supervisory management and program analysts, an administrative law judge, a writer-editor, criminal investigators and a supervisory criminal investigator, a supervisory investigative analyst, a chief information security officer, IT specialists in application software and data management, and a term IT specialist posted under direct hire.
Applying tip: the department frequently posts the same job twice, once marked DE and once MP. DE means delegated examining, open to the public; MP means merit promotion, for current and former federal employees and others with eligibility. Apply to the version you qualify for, or both if you are eligible for both. Some announcements also carry Indian Preference variants, and the announcement explains who may claim it. The application timeline guide explains what happens after you apply.
