Job: Security Specialist in DC Metro Area

This is definitely not a starter position however if you are mid-career and have been working in the fed sector for several years, it just might be that right fit. Oh and if you are just trying to get into infosec, they seem to also be continuously looking for infosec interns. Not sure about the location on that one though…
