APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Qualified candidates are invited to apply by emailing the following to jobs@canb.uscourts.gov

The email subject line should reference the Generalist Clerk position and the location preference (Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose).

1. A cover letter detailing relevant experience and how they meet the qualifications for the position.
2.  A résumé.

The court may close this announcement at any time, and it is therefore recommended that applications be submitted as soon as possible. Only applicants who are selected for interviews will be contacted by the court. Applicants selected for the initial interview will be required to submit three professional references. Relocation expenses will not be reimbursed. Applicants selected for interviews must travel at their own expense.

Applicants who are non-United States citizens must meet the requirements for federal employment. Non-citizens may be interviewed and considered for employment, but employment offers will only be made to individuals who qualify under one of the exceptions in 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3)(B). In most cases, this means that an offer of employment cannot be made unless the candidate is a lawful permanent resident who is seeking U.S. citizenship as explained below. Under 8 U.S.C. §1324b(a)(3)(B), a lawful permanent resident seeking citizenship may not apply for citizenship until he or she has been a permanent resident for at least five years (three years if seeking naturalization as a spouse of a citizen), at which point he or she must apply for citizenship within six months of becoming eligible, and must complete the process within two years of applying (unless there is a delay caused by the processors of the application).

As a condition of employment, the selected candidate must complete a background check.  The position is subject to the mandatory electronic direct deposit of salary payment (i.e. Direct Deposit). All court employees are at will, and therefore the selected candidate may be removed from this position at any time if the selected candidate fails to perform at a satisfactory level. In addition, employees are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees.

The court reserves the right to modify the conditions of this job announcement or to withdraw the job announcement, or to fill the position sooner than the closing date, if a closing date is shown, any of which action may occur without any prior written notice. The court will only communicate with those qualified applicants who are selected for interview. If you are not notified, another applicant was selected.
