The supervisor is Michelle Sutherland.This position IS subject to Confidential Financial Disclosure reporting requirements.
This position IS subject to security ownership restriction reporting requirements.Qualifications:In order to qualify for this position, you must have at least one year of specialized experience at the next lower grade level in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector.
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE is defined as: experience that demonstrates ability to provide direction and manage organizational planning and analysis, as well as performance management, knowledge management and strategic workforce planning, and acquisition management.
The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:
1. KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPLES, THEORIES, AND APPLIED PRACTICES OF HYDROGEOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH GROUNDWATER MONITORING; AND GROUNDWATER FLOW, FATE, AND TRANSPORT OF CONTAMINANTS.
(Example: Describe your specific applied experience with sites and groundwater programs, training, and education that demonstrates your knowledge, skills, and abilities of the principles of applied. Describe the types of sites you worked with, and your role with those sites. Demonstrate how your experience would prepare you to review reports and applications associated with reactor decommissioning and groundwater transport.)
2. ABILITY TO WORK EFFECTIVELY WITH AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS.
(Example: Describe your experience working with a team of scientists or engineers in the review and oversight of groundwater at a site, or provide examples of technical findings you prepared, and/or reached consensus opinions on, for a complex environmental, hydrogeologic or other investigation or analyses.)
3. KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPLES, THEORIES, AND APPLIED PRACTICES OF GROUNDWATER INTERACTION AS IT APPLIES TO GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATE TRANSPORT.
(Example: Describe your specific applied experience with sites and groundwater programs, training, and education that demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and abilities of the principles of applied groundwater contaminate transport of leaks into the subsurface environment (i.e. chemicals, metals, radionuclides). Describe the types of sites you worked with, and your role with those sites. Demonstrate how your experience would prepare you to review reports and applications associated with reactor decommissioning sites with an emphasis on groundwater interactions and transport.)
4. ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE, BOTH ORALLY AND IN WRITING, COMPLEX TECHNICAL IDEAS, POSITIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROPOSALS BEFORE MANAGEMENT, LICENSEES, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCY OFFICIALS, OR CLIENTS DEPENDING ON ONE'S EXPERIENCE.
(EXAMPLE: Describe your experience, training and accomplishments that demonstrate your ability to communicate complex situations to these groups.)

A description of how you possess the specialized experience as well as how you meet the qualifications desired in an ideal candidate must be addressed in your resume. The NRC encourages applicants to provide job experience details in your resume. Applicants may also use the supplemental vacancy question to provide additional information pertaining to the specialized experience and ideal candidate criteria.
PLEASE BE CLEAR AND CONCISE. WE WILL NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING YOUR EXPERIENCE.

Education:Basic Requirements:

1. Degree: physical or natural science, or engineering that included at least 30 semester hours in any combination of courses in hydrology, the physical sciences, geophysics, chemistry, engineering science, soils, mathematics, aquatic biology, atmospheric science, meteorology, geology, oceanography, or the management or conservation of water resources. The course work must have included at least 6 semester hours in calculus (including both differential and integral calculus), and at least 6 semester hours in physics. Calculus and physics, as described above, are requirements for all grade levels.

   OR

2. Combination of education and experience -- course work as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education.

Evaluation of Experience: Acceptable experience must have included performance of scientific functions related to the study of water resources, based on and requiring a professional knowledge of related sciences and the consistent application of basic scientific principles to the solution of theoretical and practical hydrologic problems. The following is illustrative of acceptable experience: field or laboratory work that would require application of hydrologic theory and related sciences such as geology, geo-chemistry, geophysics, or civil engineering to making observations, taking samples, operating instruments, assembling data from source materials, analyzing and interpreting data, and reporting findings orally and in writing. In some cases, professional scientific experience that is not clearly water resource experience may be acceptable if such experience was preceded by appropriate education in hydrology or by professional hydrology experience.

Applicants with related experience in hydrology gained through earlier Federal Government employment might have gained that experience in one or more occupational series. Such series include Soil Conservation, GS-457; Forestry, GS-460; Soil Science, GS-470; Civil Engineering, GS-810; Chemistry, GS-1320; Meteorology, GS-1340; and Geology, GS-1350. Comparable non-Federal experience may be given similar credit.

You must include an unofficial or official copy of your college and/or university transcripts with your application. Transcript must include the School Name, Student Name, Degree and Date Awarded (if applicable). Education must be from an accredited (or pre-accredited) college or university recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. If you have multiple degrees (e.g., BS, MS, PhD) please submit transcripts for each degree.
FOREIGN EDUCATION: Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the requirements. You must show proof the education credentials have been deemed to be at least equivalent to that gained in a conventional U.S. education program. It is your responsibility to provide such evidence when applying. For special instructions pertaining to foreign education and a list of organizations that can evaluate foreign education, see the Department of Education website. If you are qualifying on foreign education, you MUST submit proof of creditability of education as evaluated by a credentialing agency. Transcripts must be uploaded with your application to verify education. All documentation must be in English or include an English translation.
