In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below: Specialized Experience for GS-13: One year of specialized experience which includes: 1) Performing a broad range of transportation analysis applying advanced operations research techniques and complex mathematical and statistical methodologies; 2) Evaluating impacts of new technologies on current transportation analysis systems such as Analysis of Mobility Platform (AMP) or Supply Chain Guru (SCG); or 3) Applying operations research principles in the development of mathematical models, computer programs or analytic tools (AMP or SCG) to evaluate alternative courses of action and provide decision-support analysis. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service GS-12. Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify.
