BASIC REQUIREMENTS: A. Degree: meteorology, atmospheric science, or other natural science major that included:

1. At least 24 semester (36 quarter) hours of credit in meteorology/atmospheric science including a minimum of:

Six semester hours of atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics;
Six semester hours of analysis and prediction of weather systems (synoptic/mesoscale);
Three semester hours of physical meteorology; and
Two semester hours of remote sensing of the atmosphere and/or instrumentation. -
2. Six semester hours of physics, with at least one course that includes laboratory sessions.

3. Three semester hours of ordinary differential equations.

4. At least nine semester hours of course work appropriate for a physical science major in any combination of three or more of the following: physical hydrology, statistics, chemistry, physical oceanography, physical climatology, radiative transfer, aeronomy, advanced thermodynamics, advanced electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and computer science.

**There is a prerequisite or corequisite of calculus for course work in atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, physics, and differential equations. Calculus courses must be appropriate for a physical science major.
OR Combination of education and experience -- course work as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT REQUIRES TRANSCRIPTS.

* You must provide all transcripts from all degrees received (unofficial copies are acceptable) by the closing date of this announcement. Individuals who are selected must be prepared to provide official transcripts.

Specialized experience is defined as: *Experience assessing the current and forecast state of the atmosphere. *Interpreting effects of surface and upper-air atmospheric conditions and other meteorological phenomena; *Observing and recording atmospheric and hydrological conditions; *Operating meteorological equipment and interrogating data, including radar data;; and *Operating communications systems used to disseminate information.

SUBSTITUTION OF EDUCATION FOR SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: One year of graduate-level education or superior academic achievement (upper third of the graduating class in the college, university; 3.0 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B" or better) as recorded on their official transcript; 3.5 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B+" or better) based on the average of the required courses completed in the major field or the required courses in the major field completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum).

For the GS-09 level: In addition to meeting the basic education requirement, candidates for the GS-9 level must possess at least one year of specialized experience at the next lower grade (GS-7). Specialized experience is defined as: *Experience assessing the current state of the atmosphere based upon scientific processes that integrate information from meteorological and hydrological data. *Adapting existing forecast products to localized areas. *Data acquisition and analysis to support forecast and warning development. *Providing weather briefings to partners and customers.; and *Assisting with public outreach activities.

SUBSTITUTION OF EDUCATION FOR SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Two years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a master's degree or master's or equivalent graduate degree.

NOTE: Your resume must clearly document specialized experience and support your responses to the vacancy questions.
