PROVIDENCE, RI -- Want to be a federal judge in Rhode Island? There are openings. All you have to do is to brush up that résumé and send it over to U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse.

The job assignment would be on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. District Court in Providence.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Boston, hears appeals from Rhode Island, and Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Puerto Rico. The vacancy is that of Judge Bruce M. Selya, who left full-time bench duty in December 2006, assuming senior status.

While the nominations fall to President Obama, customarily the president asks the local U.S. senators for recommendations. The nominees have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

All interested applicants should send a cover letter and résumé to the office of Senator Reed, Rhode Island's senior senator (1000 Chapel View Blvd., Suite 290, Cranston, RI 02920), by Feb. 11.
