What is a forensic science volunteer?

A Forensic Science Volunteer assists forensic professionals in laboratories, offices, or the field by performing administrative tasks, organizing evidence, or supporting casework under supervision. While they do not directly handle critical forensic analyses, their work helps streamline operations and improve efficiency. Volunteers may gain valuable experience in forensic science, law enforcement, or criminal investigations, making this role ideal for students or individuals interested in the field.

What does a forensic science volunteer do?

As a Forensic Science Volunteer, you may assist with tasks such as preparing and cataloging evidence, maintaining laboratory cleanliness, helping with documentation, or supporting staff in organizing case files and research projects. While direct analysis of evidence is typically reserved for certified professionals, volunteers often play an important supporting role that helps maintain workflow and ensure the integrity of forensic processes. You might work closely with forensic scientists, lab technicians, and other team members, gaining firsthand exposure to real forensic operations. These experiences are not only valuable for skill-building but also provide excellent networking opportunities within the field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a forensic science volunteer?

To thrive as a Forensic Science Volunteer, you need basic knowledge of scientific principles, meticulous attention to detail, and at least some coursework or training in forensic or laboratory techniques. Experience with lab equipment, evidence handling protocols, and familiarity with chain of custody documentation are valuable, and some organizations may prefer volunteers who have completed relevant certifications or workshops. Strong organizational skills, teamwork, and effective communication are essential soft skills for collaborating with forensic professionals. These competencies ensure accurate processing of evidence, integrity in documentation, and effective support for legal and investigative teams.

Job description

This position is located in the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
This announcement will close at 11:59 PM, on the day that 75 applications have been received or on the closing date, whichever is first.
Qualifications:
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's or graduate/higher level degree: major study in an academic field related to the medical field, health sciences or allied sciences appropriate to the work of the position. This degree must be from an educational program from an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (external link) at the time the degree was obtained.
AND
Minimum Qualifications: You must have one year of specialized experience to perform successfully the duties of the position. To be creditable, specialized experience must have been equivalent to at least the GS-14 grade level in the Federal service performing ALL of the following:
  • Collaborating with state and local health departments, ensuring that cooperative agreements are guided by CDC recommendations and programmatic guidance.
  • Leading health-department based programs and translating scientific findings into public health practice, policy, and programmatic effort.
  • Mentoring and supervising programmatic Staff.
  • Utilizing program evaluation and quality improvement methods, including data collection, management and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative outcomes.

Documenting experience: IN DESCRIBING YOUR EXPERIENCE, PLEASE BE CLEAR AND SPECIFIC. WE WILL NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING YOUR EXPERIENCE. Qualifications are based on breadth/level of experience. In addition to describing duties performed, applicants must provide the exact dates of each period of employment (from MM/YY to MM/YY) and the number of hours worked per week if part time. As qualification determinations cannot be made when resumes do not include the required information, failure to provide this information may result in disqualification. Applicants are encouraged to use the USAJOBS Resume Builder to develop their federal resume.
Do not copy and paste the duties, specialized experience, or occupational application questionnaire from this announcement into your resume as that will not be considered a demonstration of your qualifications for this position.
In accordance with Office of Personnel Management policy, federal employees are assumed to have gained experience by performing duties and responsibilities appropriate for their official series and grade level as described in their position description. Experience that would not normally be part of the employee's position is creditable, however, when documented by satisfactory evidence, such as a signed memorandum from the employee's supervisor or an SF-50 or SF-52 documenting an official detail or other official assignment. The documentation must indicate whether the duties were performed full time or, if part time, the "percentage of times" the other duties were performed. It is expected that this documentation is included in the employee's official personnel record. In order to receive credit for experience in your resume that is not within the official series and grade level of your official position, you must provide a copy of the appropriate documentation of such experience as indicated above.
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; community; student; social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to gain employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. If such experience is on a part-time basis, you must provide the average number of hours worked per week as well as the beginning and ending dates of the experience so it can be fully credited.
OPM Qualification General Policies WebsiteEducation:Foreign Education: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show that the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
