Food and Drug Administration
10 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Food and Drug Administration is the Department of Health and Human Services agency that regulates human and animal drugs, biologics, medical devices, most of the food supply, cosmetics and tobacco products. Its product centers review and approve what comes to market, and its field investigators inspect manufacturers and importers at home and abroad.
Recent listings have included investigators at several levels, from associate investigator to senior investigator and a senior investigator for foreign inspections, a supervisory criminal investigator, two deputy center directors, a director of the Office of Organizational Performance and Integration, super office directors for the Office of Therapeutic Products, a general engineer and a lead human resources specialist.
Applying tip: FDA fills many scientific, technical and senior positions under its own Title 21 hiring authority from the 21st Century Cures Act, which uses a different pay structure and application process from the standard competitive service, so read the announcement’s pay and “how you will be evaluated” sections closely. Investigator jobs stress scientific coursework and inspection or audit experience. The federal resume guide covers presenting that background in the federal format.
