USGS Frequently Asked Questions

Question: I am not a citizen of the United States. Can I apply for jobs in the USGS?

Answer:

As a United States Federal agency we are not permitted to hire non-U.S. citizens except in very rare circumstances. If you are a non-citizen you are not eligible to apply to positions in the USGS, and the Online Automated Recruitment System (OARS) will not refer your application to any vacancy you apply for.

For more information about citizenship requirements in United States Federal positions, you should contact the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration services. U.S. citizens living in other countries, naturalized U.S. citizens and any individuals who can prove dual U.S. citizenship may apply for and be considered for USGS positions.
