About the role

The Bureau of Prisons seeks a doctoral-level psychologist to provide clinical services within federal facilities. The role emphasizes assessment, treatment planning, and referrals for inmates with substance use and co-occurring disorders. Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in psychology (clinical or counseling) and a current unrestricted license to practice at the doctoral level in the United States; visa status not specified. Experience at GS-12/13 levels is typical for this position.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
