GEOLOGIST

You will serve as a GEOLOGIST who represents an authoritative source for consultation for other scientists and program specialist and provides expertise and coordination in one or more subdisciplines of geology. You may be required to travel overnight away from home up to 1-2 nights per month. You must obtain a government charge card for travel purposes. Salary: GS-13: $121,785 (step 1) - $158,322 (step 10) First time hires to the Federal government normally start at the step 1 rate. PRINCIPALES MISSIONS : Some of the major duties you will perform include but are not limited to the following: Contribute scientific knowledge and skills to projects focused on critical mineral resources, mineral assessments, geologic framework of mineral deposits, fundamental mineral systems research, and new geologic mapping in Precambrian rocks of the Midcontinent region. Provide expertise in geochemistry and geochronology to investigations on the bedrock geology and tectonic history of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, and surrounding region. Design and carry out plans for new research in the Midcontinent region, including conducting fieldwork, evaluating outcrops and core samples, and performing laboratory analyses. Provide technical expertise in supporting interpretation of aeromagnetic data from the Midcontinent region and Wyoming craton. Communicate the results of scientific investigations via oral presentations at technical meetings and professional conferences and through peer-reviewed publications. QUALIFICATIONS REQUISES : All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-11/13/2026-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. To receive credit for experience, your resume MUST state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected.

Degree: geology, plus 20 additional semester hours in any combination of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biological science, structural, chemical, civil, mining or petroleum engineering, computer science, planetary geology, comparative planetology, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, physical geography, marine geology, and cartography. You must submit transcripts. -OR- B. Combination of education and experience: course work as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education. -AND- To qualify for this position at the GS-13 grade level: Specialized Experience Requirement: you must possess at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). Specialized experience is defined as demonstrated experience: Examples of such experience could include planning, executing and reporting on original geologic studies or ongoing geologic studies requiring a fresh approach to resolve new problems. The complexity of this work typically required extensive modification and adaptation of standard procedures, methods, and techniques, and the development of totally new methods and techniques to address novel or obscure problems for which guidelines or precedents were not substantially applicable.
