These positions are all being filled at the GS-12 level with promotion potential to GS-14. These positions are eligible for telework but are not remote positions. You would be expected to report to the Suitland Federal Center, located near the metro station in Suitland, Maryland.
The announcement is open through 11:59 PM on September 22nd.
For more details about the duties and qualifications and to apply, see the job announcement on USAJobs: www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/884783000
Tips for a successful application process:
Provide transcripts that document the degree requirements listed in the Qualifications section of the announcement. Provide all relevant transcripts, not just your most recent one.
Your resume cannot be longer than two pages. Due to new requirements, submitting a resume longer than two pages may result in you being determined ineligible.
Document your relevant work experience through bullet points in your resume. Reflect the language used in the announcement where applicable (see Specialized Experience under Qualifications). Note that the Specialized Experience section asks you to provide evidence of experience totaling at least one year for three of the four listed requirements.
Your work experience bullet points should be tied to positions for which you list start and stop dates for employment as well as hour-per-week. This is how human resources staff determine whether your cumulative experience meets the work threshold (see Specialized Experience under Qualifications).
In addition to the Specialized Experience requirements, ensure that your resume reflects your level of experience in the following competencies: Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Computer Languages, Mathematical Reasoning, and Research. See the SME Resume Panel Review section in the announcement for more information.
