OR B. Combination of education and experience -- education equivalent to one of the majors shown in A above that included at least 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science, plus appropriate experience or additional education. For Physical Scientist, ZP-1301-III
Qualifications:
In addition to the basic requirements, applicants must also have 1 year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-9 (ZP-II at NIST) level. Specialized Experience is defined as experience in a laboratory research environment and experience with designing and implementing safety programs. OR 3 years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree as defined in the basic requirements OR Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree as defined in the basic requirements OR A combination of graduate education and specialized experience as defined in the additional requirements For Physical Scientist, ZP-1301-IV
Qualifications:
In addition to the basic requirements, applicants must also have 1 year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-12 (ZP-III at NIST) level. Specialized Experience is defined as experience in a laboratory research environment and leadership experience in designing and implementing safety programs. Basic Requirements for Physicist:
A. Degree:
physics; or related degree that included at least 24 semester hours in physics. OR B. Combination of education and experience -- courses equivalent to a major in physics totaling at least 24 semester hours, plus appropriate experience or additional education. In either A or B above, the courses must have included a fundamental course in general physics and, in addition, courses in any two of the following:
electricity and magnetism, heat, light, mechanics, modern physics, and sound. For Physicist, ZP-1310-III
Qualifications:
In addition to the basic requirements, applicants must also have 1 year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-9 (ZP-II at NIST) level. Specialized Experience is defined as experience in a laboratory research environment and experience with designing and implementing safety programs. OR 3 years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree as defined in the basic requirements OR Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree as defined in the basic requirements OR A combination of graduate education and specialized experience as defined in the additional requirements For Physicist, ZP-1310-IV
Qualifications:
In addition to the basic requirements, applicants must also have 1 year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-12 (ZP-III at NIST) level. Specialized Experience is defined as experience in a laboratory research environment and leadership experience in designing and implementing safety programs. 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. Qualification requirements in the vacancy announcement are based on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards Handbook, which contains Federal qualification standards.
