The Careers section explains professional pathways, role expectations and our public recruitment process.
Where to begin
Identify a career field, read its occupational profile and review Current Opportunities. When a vacancy is posted, its instructions will identify the authorized application channel.
The historical Investigations Division brochure references a .org address; the current public site uses .com. That brochure address is not confirmed as an active inbox.
Do not send sensitive information
Until a specific vacancy publishes an authorized submission route, do not send identification documents, references, financial information or other sensitive material through unofficial channels.
Candidates should verify that a communication clearly belongs to the organization and relates to a stated vacancy.
