Job Posting: FDA

The Food & Drug Administration is accepting applications for an "ombudsman and spokesperson for the Center Director and Deputy Center Director." The description omits any reference to alternative dispute resolution or any of the four IOA ethical tenets. The position makes it sound like the ombuds just another bureaucrat, receiving complaints, representing the director, and negotiation some agency disputes. The salary ranges from $110,363 to $143,471 per annum. Applications are only accepted by mail and are due May 10. (FederalGovernmentJobs.)

Sure, this isn't an organizational ombuds position, but it doesn't even seem to fit the USOA model.
