Department Of Navy
Join to apply for the
CHEMIST
with Security Clearance role at
Department of Navy .
Responsibilities
You will utilize knowledge of chemical principles, theories, practices and methodology sufficient to perform the full range of duties involved in the chemical and physical analysis and testing of various substances.
You will provide information pertinent to a variety of programs and problems involving chemical analysis for which established methods are not substantially applicable, inconclusive, greatly variable, and sometimes unrelated.
You will analyze materials that are problematic or where conventional methods and method adjustments have produced inconclusive or contradictory results.
You will adapt and develop new approaches and methods involving emergent environmental chemistry problems, hazardous materials or identification of unknown materials found in various ship's systems.
You will research literature and technical journals for state‑of‑the‑art equipment that will either expand laboratory capabilities or result in cost savings.
You will validate that modified or new procedures produce reliable results that meet regulatory/accreditation requirements.
Requirements
Must be a U.S. Citizen.
Must be determined suitable for federal employment.
Must participate in the direct deposit pay program.
New employees to the Department of the Navy will be required to successfully pass the E‑Verify employment verification check.
Generally, current federal employees applying for GS jobs must serve at least one year at the next lower grade level (time‑in‑grade). Time‑in‑grade requirements must be met by the closing date of this announcement.
Within the Department of Defense (DoD), the appointment of retired military members within 180 days immediately following retirement date to a civilian position is subject to the provisions of 5 United States Code § 3326.
Males born after 12‑31‑59 must be registered for Selective Service.
This is a bargaining unit position.
Must obtain and maintain an interim and/or final security clearance prior to entrance on duty. Failure to do so may result in withdrawal of job offer or removal.
Must wear personal protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, coveralls, glasses, goggles, respirators and safety shoes continuously for the duration of the work shift.
Work is performed in areas where potentially harmful physical and chemical agents are present; must participate in medical surveillance programs.
May require travel from normal duty station to CONUS and OCONUS and may include remote or isolated sites, including extended periods on military and commercial aircraft.
This is a mission‑essential position. Must ensure continuity of operations and/or completion of tasks considered essential to mission designated by a local or command decision.
Qualifications
At least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS‑11 grade level (or equivalent experience in the private or public sector). Specialized experience must demonstrate applying professional chemistry theories, concepts, and principles to conducting investigations, testing, analysis, and interpretation of the composition, physical and chemical properties, molecular structure, and chemical reactions of substances in a shipyard laboratory to support the safety and efficiency of naval activities.
Successful completion of a bachelor’s degree or higher in physical sciences, life sciences, or engineering that included 30 semester hours in chemistry, supplemented by coursework in mathematics (differential and integral calculus) and at least 6 semester hours of physics; OR a combination of education and experience with coursework equivalent to a major as shown above, including at least 30 semester hours in chemistry, supplemented by mathematics through differential and integral calculus, and at least 6 semester hours of physics, plus appropriate experience or additional education.
Position is covered by the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program. (Note: Additional vacancies may be filled by this announcement.)
EEO/HIPAA statement: The Department of the Navy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The U.S. does not discriminate in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
