6 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is the Department of Transportation agency that promotes the U.S. merchant marine and maritime industry: it operates the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York, supports the state maritime academies, maintains the Ready Reserve Force of government-owned cargo ships for sealift in a crisis, administers ship financing and cargo preference programs, and works on ports and marine highways. Headquarters is in Washington, D.C., with gateway offices at major ports.
Recent listings have included a marine engineering professor and a mathematics assistant professor at the Merchant Marine Academy, an associate administrator for workforce development and maritime education, executive assistants and an accountant open to both U.S. citizens and current federal employees.
Applying tip: the academy’s faculty positions are in the excepted service with their own academic requirements, often a graduate degree plus teaching or industry experience, so read the qualifications section rather than assuming GS rules apply. Headquarters positions follow standard competitive hiring. The application timeline guide explains the stages between applying and an offer.
