QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:
Back to top <https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/TopofPage>
For information on basic qualifications, which includes information on
whether you may substitute education for specialized experience, please
click on the following:http://www.usgs.gov/humancapital/sw/quals/1301.html.
In addition to the basic education requirements, you must have 1-year of
specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level in the
Federal service. Examples include:
*BASIC EDUCATION REQUIREMENT*: Applicants must meet A or B below to
satisfy the basic education requirement for Physical Scientist, all
grade levels.
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.
**OR
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.
*For GS-12:*
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.
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.
*For GS-13:*
In addition to the basic education requirement as stated above,
applicants must meet the following to qualify for the GS-13 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-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.
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.
*You must meet all qualification and eligibility requirements for the
position by the closing date of the announcement.*
Experience 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.
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.
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 information on how foreign education is evaluated,
visit:http://www.usgs.gov/ohr/oars/quals/foreign.html.
*Are There Any Special Requirements For This Position?*
A background investigation will be required for this position. Continued
employment will be subject to the applicant's successful completion of a
background security investigation and favorable adjudication. Failure to
successfully meet these requirements will be grounds for termination.
*Throughout the recruitment and hiring process we will be communicating
with you via email; therefore, it is imperative that the email address
you provide when applying for this vacancy remains active. Should your
email address change, please notify the point of contact identified in
the vacancy announcement as soon as possible so that we can update our
system.*
