FAVER Careers

For more than 30 years, the Foundation for Atlanta Veterans Education and Research (FAVER) has partnered with the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Health Care System to develop a diverse research portfolio dedicated to investigating physical and psychological afflictions of the brave men and women who have served our country in the Armed Forces.

FAVER is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employer. We will always endeavor to select the best qualified individuals based on job-related qualifications, irrespective of such factors as race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition or history, genetic characteristics, ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or status as a covered veteran or on any basis prohibited by federal, state or local law. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to the above statuses and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.

As part of the WOC appointment, employees are subject to various requirements as set forth by the Atlanta VA Health Care System and/or the institution at which the employee works.

WOC status awards the employees of some benefits and responsibilities of employment at the Atlanta VA Health Care System. The WOC appointment consists of background clearance, online training, fingerprinting, and other components.  The WOC appointment is managed by the Research Administration office at AVAHCS.
