And, as a “Temp Fed”, any time spent as a temp fed counts towards “vesting” as a Federal Employee. <u class="">I would NOT recommend this position to anyone who does not yet have tenure,</u> but if you do have tenure, this is a really terrific opportunity; you get a birds-eye view of what is going on at the cutting edge of scientific research, you learn how the entire federal research funding works, including links all the way up to the highest level. Most people come away with a new sense of where their field is moving and what they want to pursue. It is an incredibly good career move, whether you are looking for a a change or looking for better ways to do what you are already doing.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Opportunities for interdisciplinary environmental scientists are especially good here, since most of the awards are for large, collaborative projects with an environmental or sustainability focus.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class=""> </span></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Title, Series, Grade: Interdisciplinary (Program Director), AD-0801/1301/1501-04<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Announcement #: EPS-2017-0001<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Type: Science/Engineering/Education<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Location(s) (DIR/DIV): OD/OIA/EPS<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Opening Date: 11/16/2016<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Closing Date<span class="" style="color: red;">: </span>12/16/2016<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">USAJobs Link: <a href="https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/456618400" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/456618400</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
