Are non-US citizens or US Permanent Residents eligible for Federal employment with CDC?
Non-US Citizens are eligible for employment through fellowship programs, as contract staff with companies with a viable contract with CDC, as individual contractors, and as Title 42 Senior and Associate Fellows. These appointments are generally made for 2 years, with the option to extend in 2-year increments not to exceed a maximum of 10 years. In most cases, Non-US citizens are not hired as career Federal Civil Service employees.

CDC also uses the Senior Service Fellowship Program to hire qualified U.S. Citizens and non-U.S. Citizens for overseas positions. Applicants hired through this program are given a limited Excepted Service appointment*.
