A few notable items connected with these job postings:

On the CSB job posting - if you recall, the postings last year for Investigators were specific to the DC location (note:  no word so far on any hiring connected with these previous postings).  However, perhaps they have one or more candidates who would be interested, but would not want to relocate to the DC area.  The current posting would be a way of accommodating that.  But given the bleak outlook regarding the continuation of the CSB Board, and perhaps the CSB as an agency, it is hard for me to see a lot of qualified people applying.  I hope that I'm wrong, but I don't have much optimism about this.

Career Opportunities at the US Chemical Safety Board

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is an independent, non-regulatory scientific agency in the Executive Branch; headed by a five-person Board consisting of Presidentially appointed, Senate confirmed members serving fixed five-year terms. The CSB is an independent, non-regulatory federal agency whose mission is to drive chemical safety change through independent investigations to protect people and the environment.

The agency's mission is accomplished through a variety of statutorily directed means including: incident investigation and reporting; performing research and conducting special studies on chemical safety; developing and communicating recommendations for improved chemical safety to the public and private sectors; and strengthening the effectiveness of governmental and non-governmental agencies in accident prevention and safety promotion.
