advertising a permanent Physical Scientist GS-1301-12/13 in Lakewood, CO.
The work conducted by GGGSC addresses intra-Bureau, inter-Departmental,
other federal, state, and international programs. The primary mission of
GGGSC is to apply its expertise in geology, geophysics, and geochemistry to
interdisciplinary projects that address socially important scientific
issues in support of the USGS Science Strategy. Center scientists also work
closely with other federal and state governmental agencies, as well as with
other nations, on a variety of technical and scientific topics. The
ultimate goal is to make scientific knowledge public and to contribute to
the resolution of issues through accurate and impartial scientific research
on earth science topics (e.g., mineral resources, environmental effects of
mineral development, geological effects on ecological and human health, and
geological hazards) in a manner that is useful for policy formulation and
decision-making at appropriate levels of local, state, and federal
government.

The primary function of this position is to conduct mineralogical and
elemental analyses using advanced analytical techniques such as X-ray
diffraction (XRD), wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF), and
portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF). The incumbent manages the daily
operation of an X-ray laboratory utilizing knowledge and skills in the
fields of geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. The incumbent ensures all
methods and techniques meet or exceed center, mission area, and Bureau
quality management system criteria. The goal is to provide high quality
data that contribute to a better understanding of mineralogy in support of
USGS science.
