Job Requirements:

In addition to the basic education requirement (shown below), you must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade, which has equipped you with the particular competencies needed to successfully perform the duties of the position described above. Vacant research positions may be filled at one of several grade levels depending upon the scientific impact of the person selected. A review may be required to determine the appropriate grade level of the position and supplemental materials may be required from the selectee. Please keep this in mind when indicating the lowest grade you will accept. If selected at the lower grade level, the scientific impact of the incumbent will be examined in addition to other factors, to determine if the person is eligible for promotion. To qualify for GS-13, you must have one year of directly related specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level, performing research to understand the physics and dynamics of atmospheric processes through the use of satellite, aircraft, and surface-based remote sensing observations and computer-based simulation; assisting in the development of advanced remote sensing instrumentation (primarily radar) and techniques; assisting in the development of numerical atmospheric models and associated microphysical parameterizations; and presentation, publication, and proposal development.
