<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As a state agency, we hire staff through a system called the Missouri Merit System. To be considered for an open position, it is required that all candidates fill out an “Ease”
application and register for the job title of choice. This application can be found at
<a href="http://www.ease.mo.gov">www.ease.mo.gov</a>. We are most interested in applicants for our Geologist series (I, II, III, IV), however other positions for geoscientists do exist in the department. The geologist register is typically only open annually
for two weeks during the months of March, June, September, and December. However, in anticipation of upcoming positions a special register opening will begin in April and run through the months of May and June.
