Education

To qualify based on education, you must submit a legible copy of transcripts from an accredited institution with your name, school name, credit hours, course level, major(s), and grade-point average or class ranking.

If you cannot obtain your graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) should be considered as satisfying the requirement for one year of full-time graduate study.

There is no substitution of education for experience at the GS-12 grade level of this announcement.

Additional information

Physical Demands: The work includes both office and field conditions covering all Western Slope lands. Office work involves long periods of intense concentration on technical details. Most field work requires physical stamina and is often under a variety of arduous conditions, including travel by 4-wheel drive vehicle or on foot over rugged, slippery, and/or hazardous terrain, exposure to extreme temperature and weather conditions, as well as topographic extremes and visits to underground mines. The incumbent may be required to perform duties that require recurring bending, crouching, stooping, reaching, or lifting. Work may also include lifting of moderately heavy items, such equipment and samples and could be up to 50 pounds.

Working Conditions: The incumbent works in a typical office setting and must tolerate an average amount of conversation, telephone and other similar office distractions and background noise resulting from the "cubicle/open space" arrangements. The incumbent travels to office settings in all field offices as well as in mine locations. Incumbent may be subjected to high/low temperatures ranging from 10degrees to over 100 degrees, dust and high levels of noise and vibration. The incumbent may be subjected to hostile wildlife, chemical and physical hazards in the field. Incumbent will adhere to all safety rules and regulations as prescribed in manuals/supplements or by the designated Safety Officer for these specialized activities. The incumbent will wear appropriate safety gear when conducting inspection and field activities and maintains a safety conscious attitude and training when available. When completing work assignments that require operating a motorized vehicle, the incumbent must remain alert for safety hazards.

Tax Law Impact for PCS: Moving expenses reimbursement is a taxable benefit. However, the Federal Travel Regulation 18-05 issued by General Services Administration has authorized agencies to use the Withholding Tax Allowance and Relocation Income Tax Allowance to pay for "substantially all" of the increased tax liability resulting from the "2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" for certain eligible individuals.

Certain incentives (such as Recruitment, Relocation or Student Loan Repayment) may be authorized to eligible selectees. If eligible and qualified, you may be offered a recruitment or relocation incentive. The decision to offer an incentive will be made on a case-by-case basis and is neither promised nor guaranteed. For information visit: Recruitment Incentive or Relocation Incentive or Student Loan Repayment.

Interagency Career Transition Assistance Program (ICTAP) or Career Transition Assistance Program (CTAP): For information on how to apply as an ICTAP or CTAP eligible see http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/workforce-restructuring/employee-guide-to-career-transition/ctap_guideline.pdf. To be well-qualified and exercise selection priority for this vacancy, displaced Federal employees must be rated at 90 or above on the rating criteria for this position.
