A global recruitment is a way NIH hires for common positions such as Health Scientist Administrators. NIH creates a single announcement in USAJobs.govLink to external web site which can be used by any Institute or Center with an approved vacancy. Applying to a global recruitment means that, with a single announcement, hiring officials throughout the entire NIH will have access to your application. Most importantly, if your application is determined to be qualified for the recruitment, it may remain active for at least three months. This means that if NIGMS receives approval to recruit, our selecting officials will be able to view your application immediately.
