You will serve as a INTERDISCIPLINARY - PHYSICAL SCIENTIST / METEOROLOGIST / OCEANOGRAPHER in the Geospatial Analysis and Support Division, Warfighting Support Center, Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) of NAVOCEANO BAY ST LOUIS.Qualifications:In addition to the Basic Requirements for this position, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following:
- Experience applying the theories, principles, policies and/or techniques of oceanography hydrology, remote sensing, image processing, and geographic information systems and their capabilities and limitations as applied to coastal oceanographic and/or riverine environments.
- Experience with GIS and remote sensing tools to manipulate and evaluate oceanographic and riverine data and remote sensing exploitation techniques.
- Experience with the tactical use of the environment during Naval Special Warfare, Amphibious Warfare, Special Operations, and other missions where knowledge of the riverine and environment is required.
