HOW TO APPLY

NIH is in the process of evaluating our Pathways recruitment strategy and identifying our 2013 recruitment requirements.  We have closed our current job advertisement and will launch a new one in the near future. Please return to this website for future updates.

Please view the NIH Recruitment Calendar for upcoming career fairs or hiring events.

General Training & Development Experiences

Must complete at least 640 hours of career-related work before completion of or concurrently with the course requirements. Agencies may waive up to 320 of the required 640 hours of work for Interns who demonstrate high potential as evidenced by outstanding academic achievement and exceptional job performance.
