NIH plans to hire several At-Large Presidential Management Fellows in 2007. Interviews will be conducted in conjunction with the Job Fair beginning on April 22nd.

At-Large Interns will

• rotate between positions in Institutes and Centers (ICs) within and outside of NIH;
• have an opportunity to take permanent positions at any NIH IC; and
• receive assistance and support in selecting a permanent position at NIH.

Primary responsibility for at-large interns rests with the Administrative Training Committee (ATC).

Designated Interns

• Rotations are determined by the intern and the hiring Institutes and Centers (ICs).
• An intern may or may not be hired for a specific targeted position at the designated IC; and
• usually converts to a permanent position with the designated IC.
  

Primary responsibility for designated interns rests with the hiring IC.

PMF Job Fair

NIH will participate in the PMF Job Fair to be held April 4th through 6th with representatives from the Administrative Training Committee, a number of Institute representatives, along with current and former PMFs. Most interviews will be set up in advance, although there will be a limited number of interview slots available at the Job Fair. PMF finalists who want to schedule an interview at the Job Fair are encouraged to visit the NIH table early in the day and provide a resume and cover letter at that time. Those finalists who have already scheduled an interview should visit the NIH table to confirm the interview date/time and receive directions to the interview location.

PMF Interviews

The deadline for submission of PMF applications for pre-scheduled interviews is March 29th.

If you miss the deadline, STOP BY the PMF Recruitment Table at the Job Fair with your cover letter and resume. One of our representatives will be able to answer your questions.

The following process will be in effect until March 29, 2007

Interviews for all of the At-Large positions will be conducted on April 5th in conjunction with the Job Fair in meeting space within walking distance from the Job Fair. The process outlined on this site is applicable ONLY to At-Large positions.

Finalists may be considered for both At-Large and Designated positions. NIH will make every effort to interview as many interested finalists as possible, but may not be able to accommodate every candidate. We will schedule many interviews in advance, although a portion of the interview slots will be held for scheduling at the Job Fair. PMF finalists may request an interview for an NIH position by emailing their cover letter and resume (not to exceed four pages) the Program Managers listed below by March 29th. After March 29th, interested finalists should plan to bring a cover letter and resume to the NIH table at the PMF Job Fair on April 5th.

The cover letter should explain the finalist’s interest in the NIH programs and mission, and how the finalist’s background, experiences, and skills are well suited for a PMF position and future career with NIH. Finalists will be contacted by the PMF Coordinator, either to schedule an interview or to request that the candidate come for an initial meeting at the PMF Job Fair. Requests for interviews received after March 29th will be held for scheduling at the PMF Job Fair.
