Chemistry
3 open positions in this category
Chemists in the 1320 series analyze substances, develop and validate test methods, run laboratories and advise on chemical questions across agencies with very different missions, from fuel and forensic laboratories to aviation research and mine safety. Listings here have come from Commander, Navy Installations Command, the Army Criminal Investigation Division, the Army Corps of Engineers, the FAA and MSHA.
Recent listings have included chemists, a petroleum chemist, a supervisory chemist and a public notice for chemists under direct hire authority.
Applying tip: 1320 carries a positive education requirement, a degree in chemistry or a degree with a stated number of semester hours in chemistry plus physics and mathematics through calculus, so list those courses and attach transcripts. Public notice announcements collect resumes for a period and refer them as vacancies arise, so they are worth applying to even without a specific opening. The federal resume guide explains how to present coursework.
