<br>
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;
vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 12px; background:
transparent;">BASIC EDUCATION REQUIREMENT</strong>:
Applicants must meet A or B below to satisfy the basic
education requirement for Physical Scientist, all grade
levels.<br>
<br>
A. Successful completion of a full 4-year course of study in
an accredited college or university leading to a bachelor's or
higher degree in physical science, engineering, or mathematics
that included 24 semester hours or the equivalent in physical
science and/or related engineering science such as mechanics,
dynamics, properties of materials, and electronics.<br>
<br>
**OR<br>
<br>
B. A combination of education and experience--education
equivalent to one of the majors shown in "A" above (24
semester hours or the equivalent in physical science,
engineering, or mathematics) that included at least 24
semester hours or the equivalent in physical science and/or
related engineering science as described above, plus
appropriate experience and/or additional education for a total
of 4 years. The education or combined education and experience
must be comparable in type, scope and thoroughness to that
acquired through successful completion of a 4-year course of
study as described in "A" above.<br>
<br>
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;
vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 12px; background:
transparent;">For GS-12:</strong><br>
<br>
In addition to the basic education requirement as stated
above, applicants must meet the following to qualify for the
GS-12 level: One year of appropriate professional experience
that is in or directly related to the duties of the position
to be filled is qualifying if it is equivalent to at least the
GS-11 level in the Federal service, and if it equipped the
applicant with the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform
successfully the duties of the position.<br>
<br>
Examples of such experience may include planning and executing
complex physical science studies, which usually involved
intensive investigations into recognized phenomena. This work
typically involved conventional methods and techniques though
it required going beyond clear precedents, and required
adapting methods to the problems at hand and interpreting
findings in terms of their scientific significance. At this
level, physical scientists have the ability to independently
perform scientific work of considerable difficulty.<br>
<br>
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;
vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 12px; background:

<br>
In addition to the basic education requirement as stated
above, applicants must meet the following to qualify for the
GS-13 level:<br>
<br>
One year of appropriate professional experience that is in or
directly related to the duties of the position to be filled is
qualifying if it is equivalent to at least the GS-12 level in
the Federal service, and if it equipped the applicant with the
knowledge, skills and abilities to perform successfully the
duties of the position.<br>
<br>
Examples of such experience may include planning, executing
and reporting on original physical science studies or ongoing
physical science studies requiring a fresh approach to resolve
new problems. The complexity of this work typically required
extensive modification and adaptation of standard procedures,
methods, and techniques, and the development of totally new
methods and techniques to address novel or obscure problems
for which guidelines or precedents were not substantially
applicable. At this level, physical scientists have wide
latitude for the exercise of independent judgment to perform
scientific work of marked difficulty and responsibility.<br>

refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work
done through National Service programs (e.g. Peace Corps,
AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional;
philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student;
social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies,
knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and
experience that translates directly to paid employment. You
will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including
volunteer experience.<br>
<br>
If this position requires specific educational course work to
qualify, or you are qualifying based in whole or part on
education, you are required to provide all unofficial
transcripts (undergraduate, graduate, etc.) or list of course
work, which includes semester hours earned and grade received,
by the closing date of this announcement or you will be
disqualified from further consideration. This proof may be
faxed, document uploaded, or hand delivered to the servicing
Human Resources Office (see "Required Documents" and/or
"Contact Information"). Please ensure that all documentation
is legible. If you are currently employed by the Federal
government in the same occupational series as the advertised
position, you are not required to submit transcripts at this
time.<br>
Education completed in colleges or universities outside the
United States may be used to meet the above requirements. You
must provide acceptable documentation that the foreign
education is comparable to that received in an accredited
educational institution in the United States. For more
