Salary and Benefits
The starting salary is set at $140,074 (includes D.C. locality). This position falls in the Center's pay band 6, which has a salary range up to $213,992 (includes D.C. locality). For a successful candidate not currently a member of the Center staff, a higher starting salary, not to exceed $175,093 (includes D.C. locality) may be considered if the candidate furnishes proof that their current salary falls above the pay band 6 minimum salary of $140,074 (includes D.C. locality), in which case the Center would match that salary up to the starting salary limit of $175,093 (includes D.C. locality). This is the maximum starting salary, and it is non-negotiable. In addition, a successful candidate who does not live within the D.C. locality region or work at the official duty station in Washington, D.C., for 16 or more work hours per pay period will not receive D.C. region locality pay and will receive the locality pay of their place of primary residence (telework site). If a successful internal candidate's salary falls above the range minimum, the salary will be matched up to their current salary.
