Requirements

Qualifications

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-07/22/2023-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 for each federal position listed as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of qualifying experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, your resume must state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected. To qualify for this position at the GS-07 grade level, you must possess one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement: EXPERIENCE: At least one full year of specialized experience comparable in scope and responsibility to the GS-06 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). This experience includes activities such as: collecting data on native fish species, including ESA-listed species, and non-native species in creeks and rivers and make determinations on the cause of problems noted; providing suggestions for protection/mitigation of native species, including ESA-listed species; preparing reports and correspondence related to field activities; developing graphs, charts and illustrations for reports and technical publications related to field activities using computer software; gathering spatial data on fish; and providing training in resource management projects and field research. You must include hours per week worked. -OR- EDUCATION: Successful completion of at least one full year of graduate education above a bachelor's degree (18 semester hours is considered one year of full-time study, unless otherwise defined by the graduate institution) directly related to the work of this position. Examples of acceptable major study areas include: natural resources management, biology, ichthyology, zoology, wetland ecology, aquatic resource management or other majors directly related to the position. This education was obtained in an accredited college or university. (You MUST submit a copy of your transcripts indicating number of credit hours and course titles in order to qualify based on education). -OR- Successful completion of a combination of education and experience as described above. For example, 6 months of the specialized experience described above (50% of the experience requirement), and 9 hours of graduate study from an accredited institution (50% of the qualifying education) as specified above, equals 100% of the total requirement. (You MUST submit a copy of your transcripts indicating number of credit hours in order to qualify based on the combination option). Volunteer Experience: 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; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.

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. Transcripts do not need to be official, but if you are selected for this position and you used your education to qualify, you must provide official transcripts before you begin work.

If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet qualification requirements, you must show that your 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.
