Experience may be substituted for education to the extent that it provided the equivalent background. However, because an education provides some knowledge that cannot be measured in terms of course content, but rather is part of general knowledge and cultural background gained as a result of interrelationships among courses, careful judgment must be used in evaluation experience substituted for education as provided for in the basic requirements.

In addition to meeting the Basic Requirement as listed above, to qualify for this position at the GS-11 grade level, you must possess at least one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement:

EXPERIENCE: At least one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-09 level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). Examples of specialized experience include: assemble and lead a team of interdisciplinary stakeholders organized around a common long-term organizational goal; plan and implement a long-term basic research and field experience contributing to the collection of data, drawings, photographs and primary sources for the development of a Cultural Landscape Inventory (CLI) or similar preliminary research document; basic understanding and use of cultural and natural resources preservation legislation, policies, guidelines and/or standards to contribute to planning documents; using industry standard design technology such as AutoCAD, InDesign and Photoshop to prepare map products for inclusion in inventory and research projects. NOTE: You must include hours per week worked.

-OR-

EDUCATION: Successful completion of at least three years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree or Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree directly related to the position. NOTE: You must include transcripts. You must include transcripts.

-OR-

A combination of specialized experience and directly related education. To calculate your percentage of qualifying graduate education, divide your number of semester hours in excess of 36 semester hours by 18 (or in excess of 45 quarter hours by 27) or the number your school uses to represent one year of full time graduate academic study. To calculate your percentage of experience, divide your months of qualifying specialized experience by 12. Add the two percentages. They must equal at least 100% to qualify using this option. You must include transcripts.

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. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.

Education

To qualify based on education, you must submit a legible copy of transcripts from an accredited institution with your name, school name, credit hours, course level, major(s), and grade-point average or class ranking. Transcripts do not need to be official, but if you are selected for this position and you used your education to qualify, you must provide official transcripts before you begin work.

If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet qualification requirements, you must show that your education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
