Research Animal Nutritionist/Physiologist (FISH)
Applicants must meet all qualifications and eligibility requirements by the closing date of the announcement including specialized experience and/or education, as defined below. Basic Requirements:
Degree:
in one of the basic animal sciences or physiology; or a related discipline or field of science that included at least 24 semester hours in the basic animal sciences, of which 10 semester hours were in animal physiology. Evaluation of Education:
Applicants with major fields of study in anatomy; cytology; invertebrate and vertebrate zoology; embryology; entomology; animal, dairy, and poultry husbandry; nutrition; genetics; and physiology may be used to meet the 24-semester-hour requirement in the basic animal sciences. Courses in physiology, animal or human physiology, cellular physiology, or courses that were well oriented toward animal or human physiology, e.g., some advanced courses in biochemistry, are qualifying as animal physiology courses. Courses in related fields such as cytology and microbiology (including microbial physiology) may also be qualifying, provided the course work dealt directly with the application of scientific principles underlying animal physiology, or with the methodology and techniques applied in animal physiology work. AND In addition to meeting the basic requirements described above, applicants must also meet additional qualification requirements as stated below. At the GS-13:
Applicants must demonstrate at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-12 grade level in the Federal service. Specialized experience is experience directly related to the position to be filled. The specialized experience requirements for the GS-13 level of this position are:
Experience independently utilizing the principles, theories, and practices of fish physiology or nutrition approaches to conduct research on fish performance (for example; growth, disease resistance, stress tolerance); experience designing and performing biochemical, histological, cellular, or molecular assays on samples derived from fish and interpreting data using statistical methods; and experience planning and conducting research in areas such as fish physiology or fish nutrition with demonstrated completion of research by the publication of results in peer-reviewed journals. At the GS-14:
Applicants must demonstrate at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-13 grade level in the Federal service. Specialized experience is experience directly related to the position to be filled. The specialized experience requirements for the GS-14 level of this position are:
Experience independently or as a lead researcher utilizing the principles, theories, and practices of fish physiology or nutrition approaches to conduct research on fish performance (growth, disease resistance, stress tolerance); experience independently or as a lead researcher designing and performing biochemical, histological, cellular, or molecular assays on samples derived from fish and interpreting data using statistical methods; and experience independently or as a lead researcher conducting research in areas such as fish physiology or fish nutrition with demonstrated completion of research by the publication of results in peer-reviewed journals. 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 and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. To be considered for this position, you must submit a one-page abstract of your MS thesis and/or Ph.D. dissertation. Also, submit a list of names, addresses, and phone numbers of persons familiar with your stature, contributions, recognition; any honors or awards received; memberships in professional or honor societies; invitations to make presentations at scientific/technical meetings; scientific society office and committee assignments; presentations (other than invitation); and publications. Applicants must be available to report for duty at the time a selection is made. Selections are typically made within 30 days of the closing date of the announcement.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
