Shown below is a link to the position on USAJobs at four different grade levels (GS-11, GS-12, GS-13 and GS-14).  To be considered at multiple grade levels, applicants must select each grade.  Recent graduates usually apply at the GS-11 level but everyone is welcome to apply to any and all grades for which they are qualified.  Please note that candidates will be considered only at the grades to which they have applied so it may be worth applying to multiple grade levels, e.g. if a candidate applies only to the GS-14 announcement and is deemed not qualified, he or she will not be considered at the lower grade levels.
