Responsibilities and Opportunity Offered: The district is soliciting applications for a Criminal Division Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) position in the Marquette, Michigan office, to join two other Criminal AUSAs already stationed there. Criminal Division assignments in this office cover the full range of federal offenses, including the prosecution of economic and violent crime in Indian Country. Although this position will handle a variety of matters arising from a variety of contexts, the AUSA can expect to have substantial responsibility in the handling of crimes occurring on property owned by, or held in trust for, Native American Tribes.

The district has 37 AUSAs, most of whom are located in the Grand Rapids office. With the filling of this posted position, there will be three attorneys in the Marquette branch office and two support personnel. In addition to the branch office in Marquette, the district also maintains a staffed branch office in Lansing, the State Capital. The district includes 11 federally-recognized Indian Tribes, which is the largest Native American population in a district east of the Mississippi River. Five of those Tribes are in the Upper Peninsula.
Travel: Substantial travel within the Upper Peninsula of Michigan will be required. Limited travel outside the district is likely.
Salary Information: AUSA pay is administratively determined based, in part, on the number of years of professional attorney experience. The current range of pay is $50,894 to $134,702, including locality pay.
Location: Marquette, Michigan. There will be an initial six to nine months of training and mentoring in the Grand Rapids office prior to assignment in Marquette.
Relocation Expenses: Relocation expenses will not be authorized.
Application Process: Send a cover letter, resume, completed questionnaire (see attachment) and writing sample (such as an appellate brief, substantive district court brief or memorandum of points and authorities). The writing sample should reflect your own work and not exceed a total of 25 pages.
The application package should be mailed to:
