Federal employees who meet the definition of a "surplus" or "displaced" employee.
Current federal employees of this agency.
Certain current or former term or temporary federal employees of a land or base management agency.
This vacancy is open to current career/career-conditional Dept. of the Interior employees living within the local commuting area of Lakewood, Colorado and Land Management Workforce Act eligibles.
In this position you will serve as an Archeologist with the Submerged Resources Center (SRC) with duties consisting primarily of underwater archeological documentation and analysis and marine remote sensing survey and documentation of submerged cultural resources throughout the National Park System and with partner agencies on a state, national and international level. Because of equipment intensive field operations are done under the water, incumbent will be around water bodies involved in diving and boating activities. Because almost all field operations involve work in parks, you will be expected to travel extensively (e.g. up to seven months per years) and sometimes for long durations (e.g. 90 days or more). You will be expected to engage in diving operations, classified by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as hazardous duty.
Duties will be developmental in nature when filled below the full performance level.
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.
This announcement may be used to fill additional positions if identical vacancies occur within 90 days of the issue date of the referral certificate.
Promotion to the full performance level is neither guaranteed nor implied and will be based solely on your ability to satisfactorily perform the work of the position, existing work at the higher grade level, and recommendation by the position's supervisor.
Physical Demands: Some assignments require sedentary work, but the majority necessitate strenuous exertion, including scuba diving, swimming, boat operation, mechanic and electrical machinery operations, stooping, standing, walking, climbing, bending, carrying heavy objects, and exposure to sun, wind, and rain and rough seas. Some activities will occur in physically dangerous areas or settings. Incumbent will be expected to engage in diving operations for potentially hazardous underwater environments classified by the Office of Personnel Management as hazardous duty. Documentary research and report writing work are sedentary, which entails the ability to concentrate and write for long periods of time.
Working Conditions: Work is performed both indoors and outdoors. Virtually all field duties will be performed outdoors in all kinds of weather. Incumbent must be able to prepare for, and cope with, uncomfortable weather and living conditions. Submerged cultural resource survey work requires extensive exposure to weather and salt water and oceanic fauna, some of which sting, bit and can cause injury. Field assignments involve travel from main duty station with exposure to adverse weather conditions, temperature extremes and hazards associated with boat operations in remote open water environments and diving. Travel assignments may entail extended periods (e.g. 30-90 days) away from home and family and typical yearly travel demands may be on the order of 3-7 months, depending upon park and project demands. Incumbent will live in a variety of commercial and park housing situations, or on vessels offshore during fieldwork. These living situations may be cramped, crowded, and uncomfortable for days or weeks at a time. Often few amenities are available for considerable length of time.
The National Park Service has determined that the duties of this position are suitable for telework only during an emergency or natural disaster.
