Resulting programmatic efforts targeted highly unstructured problems through assessment and selection of technologies, often adapted to new applications; and involved complex human relations requiring effective written and verbal communication of complex technical principles to non-technical but influential internal and external audiences to demonstrate program relevance. The results of these efforts had significant effects in developing and delivering science products with potential to inform policy and management decisions over a wide region of the United States and provided strategic direction for management and guidance to senior technical experts responsible for implementation. Experience would also include familiarity with budget formulation for a complex multi-objective activity, development of budget justification, and planning and implementing where budgetary outlooks are uncertain. You must meet all qualification and eligibility requirements for the position by the closing date of the announcement.
