Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Open to all U.S. citizens. Veterans' preference applies, and eligible Veterans should claim it in the questionnaire.

What you would do

  • Test and diagnose hearing and balance disorders in patients
  • Select and fit hearing aids and other amplification devices
  • Plan and run auditory, tinnitus and vestibular rehabilitation programs
  • Counsel patients and families on managing hearing and balance conditions
  • Supervise and mentor audiology students and trainees
  • Maintain and calibrate specialized electro-acoustic equipment

Do you qualify for GS-11 to GS-12?

With experience: For the GS-12 level, you need 1 year of professional experience comparable to the GS-11 level, where you do audiology work. The GS-11 level has no experience requirement beyond the basic requirements.

With education: You need a Doctor of Audiology (AUD) from an audiology program accredited by ACAE or ASHA's CAA. You can also qualify with another doctoral degree in hearing science or a directly related field from an accredited school. Foreign degrees must be evaluated by a private organization and found equal to U.S. programs.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Full, current and unrestricted license to practice audiology at the doctoral level in a U.S. state, territory, or D.C.
  • Non-licensed applicants who meet licensing requirements may get a temporary graduate audiologist appointment at GS-11

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume, using the standard VA Clinical Resume document linked in the announcement
  • Transcript showing your audiology or doctoral degree, if using education to qualify
  • Current, unexpired audiology license
  • SF-50 if you are a current or former federal employee
  • DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 if you claim 10-point veterans' preference

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the listed qualifications, using your online questionnaire and the documents you submit. Your application, resume and supporting documents will be verified, and errors or missing information may lower your rating or make you ineligible.

Tips for this job:

  • Make sure your audiology license is current and unexpired, and upload a copy with your application.
  • If you use your degree to qualify, upload a transcript that shows your audiology or doctoral degree.
  • Describe your audiology experience clearly with dates and hours, since the VA will verify it.
