Want to work for the federal government?

The Presidential Management Fellows Program

The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program is the federal government’s premier leadership development program for advanced degree candidates across all disciplines. It is a two-year fellowship with full salary and benefits leading to a career in the federal government. The program works with over 100 federal agencies to place fellows. 

This year’s application period will run from Sept. 28- Oct. 12 (opening and closing at noon ET). The PMF program office is hosting information sessions for prospective applicants on the program and application process throughout the month of September. You are eligible to apply if you are a recent grad (i.e., you obtained your advanced degree any time from Sept. 28, 2019, through Sept. 28, 2021) or a current grad (i.e., you expect to complete all advanced degree requirements, including the completion or successful defense of any required thesis or dissertation, by Aug. 31, 2022). Sign up for the PMF listserv (select “PMF” from the drop-down menu).

Are you an academic stakeholder (career services staff, faculty, dean, etc.) who wants to learn more about the PMF Program so that you can share information about this opportunity with your students? Sign up for the PMF academia-specific listserv (select “PMFCAMPUS” from the drop-down menu), and staff will follow up with more information about their annual academic stakeholders’ meetings.
