Job Posting: Department of Education

The U.S. Department of Education's Alternative Dispute Resolution Center is hiring an Ombudsman. The incumbent practices to IOA standards and serves as an Ombuds for staff with employment disputes before the formal complaint stage. The GS-14 position pays $106,263 to $138,136 per year. Applications are due February 6, 2015. (USA Jobs.)


According to the job posting, the Ombuds, "listens to concerns in confidence" and "Brings systemic issues to the attention of appropriate management officials without compromising confidentiality."  Ombuds at universities facing a Department of Education Office of Civil Rights investigation may find this ironic.
