Personnel Systems
There are many challenging job opportunities within FSIS. Veterinarians serve in positions in field operations, technical services, international operations, and as scientific and policy advisors in the Agency. These positions vary in grade and salary based on responsibility, educational level, and experience. As you progress in FSIS, opportunities exist for traditional positions designated exclusively for veterinarians but also for non-traditional positions.
