Qualifications
In order to be qualified for this position you must meet the basic requirement and the specialized experience requirement.

Basic Requirement:

  • Possess a combination of education and experience which includes courses equivalent to a major in history, or a major in a related field that included at least 18 semester hours in history, as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education.
Specialized Experience: Possess one year of specialized experience, equivalent to the GS-12 in the Federal service, leading American history research projects in order to develop educational or interpretive programming for the general public; reviewing work completed by others to ensure it meets technical/professional standards; interpreting historic preservation laws and regulations for others; and developing cooperative relationships with other stakeholder groups to share best practices, resolve common problems, or complete joint projects

Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience.

If part-time, the hours must be annotated to be able to pro-rate the amount of qualified specialized experience.

Volunteer Experience: Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, Ameri Corps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social).

Additional information
A Recruitment Incentive May Be Authorized for a newly selected employee when appointed to a permanent, temporary, or term position. A Federal employee who is transferring to the National Park Service from another component, bureau or Federal agency and who does not meet the conditions under 5 CFR §575.102 is not eligible for a recruitment incentive.

A Relocation Incentive May Be Authorized for a Federal employee when the employee must move, as directed by the National Park Service (NPS) either through a management directed reassignment or selection for employment, to a different location at least 50 miles away from the one where his/her position of record held at time of selection is currently located, due to a need of the NPS. A relocation incentive is not the same as a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move and, as such, may be granted in conjunction with one another.
