Do you qualify for AD-22 to AD-23?

With education: You must have an earned doctoral degree in statistics before employment begins. The announcement says this is projected for Fall 2027. Education must come from a school accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting body, and foreign degrees need proof of U.S. equivalency.
