For more information on the Department of Justice and the United States Attorneys' Offices, visit http://www.justice.gov/usao/. As needed, additional positions may be filled using this announcement. GS-11 :

To be eligible at the GS-11 level, you must meet at least one of the following conditions, as defined below: Specialized Experience, Education OR a combination of Education and Experience.
Specialized Experience :
At least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 in Federal service. Specialized experience is defined as experience advocating on behalf of crime victims; providing information to victims in regards to status of cases and results of trials; providing in court support during hearings; and obtaining services and assistance for victims; analyzing victim communication needs; developing and administering a comprehensive victim/witness program; conducting workshops or meetings with victim subject-matter specialists and related officials; and determining the elements of an effective victim assistance program.
OR Education:
One of the following types of education in a related field (e.g., Criminal Justice, social work, Psychology, Sociology): a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate degree; OR 3 full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to such a degree or LL.M, if related.
OR Combination of Education and Experience :
A combination of specialized experience as described in A and graduate education as described in B which when combined equal 100% of the requirements. To calculate your percentage of graduate education, first determine the total number of graduate hours that exceed 36 semester hours (or your school's definition of two years of graduate study), then divide the total number of your excess graduate semester hours by 18 (or your school's definition of one year of graduate study). To calculate your percentage of qualifying experience, divide your total number of months of qualifying experience by 12. Now add the two percentage together. The sum of the percentages must equal at least 100%. (Only graduate education in excess of the first two (2) years may be used in this calculation.)
