Job Posting: National Institutes of Health

The NIH Office of the Ombuds is seeking another Associate Ombuds. (This is a new posting that just happens to coincide with a recent separate and unrelated opportunity for a contractor position.) This new posting is for a full-time, permanent, entry-level position with promotion potential. The position will join a highly respected Ombuds team directed by Victor Voloshin. It is not eligible for remote work.

The GS-11 position pays $78,592 to $102,166 per year and applications are due by July 26, 2023. Voloshin explains that the timing of the posting is dictated by federal HR. (USAJobs.) Questions for either of the two current NIH postings can be sent to Jason Karim Baker ( Jason.Baker@nih.gov)

$76,000 for metro Washington? Does the job come with a cardboard box to live in? On the plus side, the appointment is for longer than a year; so there is that.

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
