The Defense Health Agency Office of General Counsel has an opening for a permanent full-time GS 14 position (excepted service) located at David Grant Medical Center. Remote work is not available, but telework is authorized. The position will require occasional travel. Relocation expenses will not be reimbursed. Salary range is $144,017 – $183,500 per year. The successful applicant will provide legal services for the providers at this military medical treatment facility (MTF) in addition to providing legal support for staff at other locations. While the primary area of practice is military health law (which covers the gamut: credentialing and privileging, bioethics, risk management, medical-legal issues, animal and human subjects research, protecting patient information, and agreements), the successful incumbent also will be involved in typical non-medical government and Department of Defense administrative law issues and ethics questions. Prior experience advising MTF or hospital staff on these areas of practice and/or advising state medical boards/associations is nice, but it is not required. The Defense Health Agency would consider a candidate with a strong administrative law background, particularly within the federal government. A good work ethic, sense of collegiality, willingness to learn, and the like are really what will set a successful applicant apart.
