One year of specialized experience equivalent in level of difficulty and responsibility to that of the next lower grade (GS-07) or equivalent within the federal service, which demonstrates the ability to perform the duties of the position, is required.

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) is qualifying. Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates to paid employment.

Applicants who have held a non-temporary General Schedule (GS) position within the last 52 weeks must meet the time-in-grade restriction.

Education

Substitution of Education for Specialized Experience at the GS-09 level:

Two full years of progressively higher level graduate education, Master's or equivalent graduate degree, may be substituted to meet the specialized experience requirement.

Equivalent combinations of education and experience may be used to substitute for the specialized experience requirement.

Only experience and/or education obtained by the closing date of this announcement will be considered.

If you are using education to substitute for the qualifying experience, you must submit transcripts at the time you apply. Failure to do so may disqualify you from consideration.

Using Education to Qualify: You MUST provide unofficial transcripts or other documentation to support your educational claims.
