Justice
Management Division Serving Justice - Securing Results
PMFs and the Office of the Chief Information Officer
A main objective of the Department of Justice is to share information
routinely across jurisdictional boundaries to prevent terrorism, and
to systematically improve the investigation and prosecution of criminal
activity. To achieve this goal, DOJ strives to put the right information
into the hands of key decision makers, whether they are on the street,
in a command post, working a task force, or within the Oval Office.
The 2005 Presidential Management Fellows Program for the Office of
the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) presents a variety of opportunities
for PMFs to grow and develop their leadership skills in the midst of
the fast changing and high profile world of Federal Information Technology
(IT) management.
We are looking for PMFs who are able to apply their analytical and critical
thinking skills to such activities as creating and administering policies
to govern usage and IT activities, managing IT investment portfolios,
and leading special management projects. PMFs in the OCIO possess
a variety of backgrounds, including legal, engineering, and public policy. Successful
PMFs are ambitious, hard-working problem solvers who have a basic understanding
of, or interest in, IT and support the Department's national security
and law enforcement mission.
OCIO PMFs are encouraged to rotate between various assignments of
personal interest. Examples of high-priority projects within the OCIO
include:
- Development of a common case management system for the litigating
components within DOJ to be used as a foundation for a federal litigation
case management system;
- Implementation of DOJ's strategy for sharing law enforcement information
and building a single gateway for sharing information across the Department;
- Establishment of a united telecommunications infrastructure for
the Department, including 3000+ locations in and outside of the continental
U.S.; and
- Creation of an integrated wireless network providing a nationwide,
wireless, consolidated communications service for federal law enforcement
and homeland security agents.
The OCIO is looking for PMFs to assist in the successful completion
of these and other major initiatives. Especially desirable
are candidates with experience connecting technology, policy and operations. Current
PMFs at other agencies are also encouraged to inquire about rotation
opportunities within the OCIO.
PMFs must be able to successfully pass a security clearance by the
U.S. Government. The most common disqualifying subject area for
candidates is prior use of illegal substances. The U.S. Department
of Justice discourages applicants with a history of prior drug use. In
evaluating this area, relevant criteria include recency, frequency,
duration, and the specific substance used. The Department has a strict
zero-tolerance policy against illegal drug use by current employees.
To submit a resume or for more information, please contact Karen Sullivan

Presidential Management Fellowship
For the past 26 years, the PMF Program has attracted outstanding
masters and doctoral students to the Federal service. The PMF Program
is your passport to a unique and rewarding career experience with the
Federal Government and provides you with opportunities to apply the
knowledge acquired during your graduate studies. As a PMF, your assignments
may involve domestic or international issues, technology, science, criminal
justice, health, financial management, and many other fields in support
of public service programs. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management's
(OPM) PMF Program Office administers the Program.
On November 21, 2003, President George W. Bush signed Executive
Order 13318 which transformed the Presidential Management Intern
(PMI) Program into the "Presidential Management Fellows Program."
This Executive Order removed the restrictive 400-hire annual cap established
under the previous Executive Order and established a new "Senior
Presidential Management Fellows" (SPMF) component.
PMFs participate in leadership programs, seminars, and rotations to
different components within the Department. For more general information
on the PMF program, please visit the PMF Website or the PMF FAQ.
