Qualifications

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement - 11/03/2026. Competitive candidates must also meet Time-in-Grade requirements as defined in 5 CFR 300, Subpart F. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of specialized experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the work schedule requirement as the service dates will be reflected. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, 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. To qualify for this position at the GS-11 grade level you must meet one of the below requirements: Specialized Experience Requirement: you must possess at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-9 level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). Specialized experience is defined as demonstrated experience: coordinating administrative projects or activities; analyzing administrative information and preparing reports or recommendations; managing executive schedules, meetings, travel, or events; and preparing or reviewing correspondence, briefings, or other materials for management. Education: Successful completion of a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or three full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to such a degree. -OR- Combination of education and experience: To combine education and experience, first determine the percentage of graduate education you have completed in excess of two full years of graduate-level education toward the three years required for the GS-11 level. Then take the number of months of qualifying specialized experience and divide by 12 months. Add the percentages together. The total must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. To qualify for this position at the GS-12 grade level you must meet the below specialized experience: Specialized Experience Requirement: you must possess at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors).

Volunteer Experience: 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.
