The IMF fills support-level vacancies through two-year fixed-term staff appointments or
individual contractual appointments (up to a maximum of 12 months in duration). Positions
are filled with candidates resident in the local Washington, D.C. area.
The IMF is always seeking applicants for general support-level positions. These positions
are typically not individually advertised. However, a position requiring specialized
skills may be advertised (See Advertised
Vacancies). Applicants for support-level positions should quote the appropriate reference
number.
