Requirements

Qualifications

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-10/22/2024-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. Time-In-Grade Requirement: Any individual who is currently holding, or has held within the previous 52 weeks, a General Schedule position under non-temporary appointment in the competitive or excepted service, must meet time-in-grade requirements (must have served 52 weeks at the next lower grade or equivalent in the Federal service); with few exceptions as outlined in 5 CFR 300.603(b). Time-In-Grade requirements also apply to former Federal civilian employees applying for reinstatement who have had a break in service of less than one year, as well as current employees applying for Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA) appointments. Time-in-grade does not apply to new excepted service appointments. Time-in-grade requirements must be met by the closing date of this announcement. Basic Requirement for 1015 Series: This position requires ALL applicants to meet the basic requirement through one of the following methods: A. A degree in museum work; or in an applicable subject-matter field related to this position such as archaeology, anthropology, history, or similar area of cultural resource management. - OR- B. A combination of college-level courses equivalent to a major in one of the above disciplines, plus appropriate experience or additional education. -OR- C. Four years of experience that provided knowledge comparable to that normally acquired through the successful completion of the 4-year course of study as shown above. -AND- To qualify for this position at the GS-11 grade level, you must possess at least 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-9 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). This experience includes activities such as: provide direction over extensive museum collections and carry out responsibilities for all four museum functions (collections, exhibits, research, and education); assist in planning and implementing program priorities of museum management using deep knowledge of professionally recognized standards and procedures of operations; address museum collection management issues and determine when specialist services (object conservation, archival services) are needed; advise management and make recommendations for collections care; contribute to museum management planning documents; conduct and facilitate research on collections and archives to benefit the organization and external researchers. You must include hours per week worked. -OR- EDUCATION: Successful completion of at least three (3) full academic years (54 semester/81 quarter hours) of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in a related field (archaeology, anthropology, history, or similar area of cultural resource management). Note: one year of full-time graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours the school attended has determined to represent 1 year of full-time study. If that number cannot be obtained from the school, 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours will be considered one academic year of graduate study. . You must include transcripts. -OR- Successful completion of a combination of education and experience as described above. Note: only graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be combined with experience. For example, six months of the specialized experience equivalent to GS-09 (50 percent of the experience requirement for GS-11) and 45 semester hours or 68 quarter hours of appropriate graduate education (50 percent of the education requirement for GS-11, in excess of that required to qualify for a GS-9 position).You must include transcripts. 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.
