RECRUITMENT EXPANSION NOTICE

The scope of recruitment for this vacancy has been expanded to allow for a larger applicant pool. If you have already applied for this position there is no need to reapply.

What You Will Be Doing

Investigators perform investigations on behalf of the Agency in criminal and civil cases of varying complexity, assist with trial preparation, and work with colleagues to maintain effective office operations. Investigators are tasked with reviewing police reports, witness statements, and all manner of evidence in support of Agency attorneys. You will conduct interviews of clients, witnesses, and forensic experts, prepare and serve subpoenas, collect evidence, and prepare reports.

Our Organization, Mission, and Culture

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to counsel in many types of cases and the Public Defender Agency is appointed by the Court to represent people who are unable to afford counsel on their own. Investigators play an integral part of providing that representation and protecting our client’s rights. Investigators are responsible for gathering and preparing evidence for use in trial and collaborate with attorneys to formulate defense strategies. Their work is fundamental to the success of our Agency and our ability to serve the needs of our clients.

The Benefits of Joining Our Team

Investigators have the opportunity to utilize and acquire a wide range of investigative skills while working to improve outcomes for Agency clients. You will join a team of professionals, committed to public service and protecting the constitutional rights of all Alaskans.

Your first 12 months in the Agency are probationary and considered a training period, with formal and on-the-job training with your supervisor and your colleagues.

This is a flexibly staffed position which means that it can be filled at either the 1, 2, or 3 level, depending on the applicant's training and experience. If the position is filled at the lower level, the employee will be assigned increasingly complex cases to develop their skills and knowledge to perform at the higher level. Once the employee hired at the lower level demonstrates proficiency at the higher level and meets the minimum qualifications, they will be promoted to the higher range.

The Working Environment You Can Expect

The office is located in the Agency’s Nome office. The hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM with an hour lunch at noon. The position primarily supports trial attorneys handling cases in Nome and Kotzebue. These cases involve investigations in villages throughout the region and regular travel within Alaska is needed. This posiiton works closely with Agency attorenys and staff and relies on strong interpersinal relationships and communications with the community.

## Express confidential interest

Alaska politics is a small world. If you can't be seen job-hunting, submit a sealed interest : the employer sees only your alias and pitch. Your name and contact stay sealed until they request an introduction and you approve it . Decline, and they never learn who asked.
