Research Physiologist
Who May Apply:
US Citizens In order to qualify, you must meet the education and/or experience requirements described below. 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). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document. Basic Requirements:
I have a 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:
Courses such as cell biology, biology, biology of living systems, ecology, evolution, bio-chemistry, virology, bacteriology, 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, cellular/ physical bio-chemistry, immunology, specialized physiology, pathology, pathophysiology, human/animal disease, developmental biology/principles of development, molecular development, pharmacology, metabolism/metabolic biochemistry, microbial genetics, medical microbiology/bacteriology, infectious diseases, neuro-biology, parasitology, histology, molecular biology, molecular systems biology, biomedical technology, cell culture ) 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. (Note:
You must attach a copy of your transcripts). In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below:
Specialized
Experience:
I have one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 grade level in the Federal service which includes 1)Development and execution of molecular biology and cell biology protocols, such as protocols involving animal models (e.g. pig, rats, mice) and associated techniques like tissue collection, sample processing for nucleic acid / protein isolation, and subsequent analysis using molecular biology-based approaches (hybridization techniques involving cDNA probes and antibodies); 2) Maintaining organized records (lab notebooks, databases) and sample collections (e.g. biobanks) and 3) Instructing / training others in lab techniques/protocols and routine laboratory functions. OR Education:
A master's degree or equivalent graduate degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position such as:
anatomy; cytology; invertebrate and vertebrate zoology; embryology; entomology; animal, dairy, and poultry husbandry; nutrition; genetics; physiology, animal or human physiology, cellular physiology. etc Qualification on the basis of education--Applicants for such research positions can be considered qualified for GS-11 if they possess an appropriate master's or equivalent graduate degree. OR Combination of Education:
A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the first year (total graduate semester hours minus 18) by 18. Add the two percentages. You will be evaluated on the basis of your level of competency in the following areas:
