physics; or related degree that included at least 24 semester hours in physics. or Combination of education and experience -- courses equivalent to a major in physics totaling at least 24 semester hours, plus appropriate experience or additional education. In either A or B above, the courses must have included a fundamental course in general physics and, in addition, courses in any two of the following:
electricity and magnetism, heat, light, mechanics, modern physics, and sound. In addition to the basic requirements, a qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level in the Federal service. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTSA qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level GS 13 in the Federal service. Specialized experience for GS-14 level of this position is defined as:
Experience planning, coordinating, implementing, and evaluating high energy physics research programs and projects. Experience developing and preparing analytical documents. Experience preparing, justifying, and supporting office budgets. Experience representing the Office on committees and at meetings. In addition to the basic requirements, a qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level in the Federal service. A qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level GS 14 in the Federal service. Specialized experience for GS-15 level of this position is defined as:
Experience serving as a program manager for high energy research programs. Experience developing and preparing presentations, analytical documents, position papers, policy statements, communication strategies, and public documents on new developments and opportunities in high energy physics. Experience negotiating, coordinating, and resolving highly complex or controversial scientific and technical issues related to the Office budget planning, defense and execution. Experience determining scientific focus and direction for a high energy physics program by providing policy and technical advice regarding strategic planning for the Office program, particularly as it relates to communications, messaging, and relations with stakeholder communities. Your application and resume should demonstrate that you possess the following knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs). Do not provide a separate narrative written statement. Rather, you must describe in your application how your past work experience demonstrates that you possess the KSAs identified below. Cite specific examples of employment or experience contained in your resume and describe how this experience has prepared you to successfully perform the duties of this position. DO NOT write see resume in your application! Knowledge of the current state of a broad range of particle physics that serves the core research programs of the Office. Ability to effectively communicate in writing to prepare analytical and public documents, presentations, position papers, and communication strategies sufficient to explain, defend, and justify recommendations to readers with varying levels of management responsibility and technical expertise Ability to negotiate, coordinate, and resolve highly complex or controversial scientific and technical issues related to the Office budget planning, defense and execution Ability to plan, direct, and evaluate new and highly complex basic research programs and policies Ability to effectively communicate orally to serve as spokesperson for the program, the office, the organization, and the agency in the broad scientific areas of responsibility. This includes the ability to represent these areas on high visibility committees and planning activities. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience. Examples of qualifying unpaid experience may include:
volunteer work done through National Service programs (such as Peace Corps and AmeriCorps); as well as work for other community-based philanthropic and social organizations.
