39 open positions in this category
OPM series 0401. Biologists and natural resource specialists whose work spans several fields, such as managing land, wildlife, and ecosystems or advising on biological programs.
Fish biology, wildlife biology and forestry have their own series, so 0401 is where agencies classify natural resource specialists, general biologists, ecologists, resource conservationists and the interdisciplinary announcements that let a team hire a biologist, physical scientist or engineer for the same job.
Recent listings have included fish and wildlife biologists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, natural resource specialists and rangers at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, biological scientists, a molecular biologist and a computational biologist at the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, soil conservationists at the Natural Resources Conservation Service, a supervisory life scientist at the Environmental Protection Agency, a resource conservationist and interdisciplinary research roles.
Applying tip: 0401 carries a positive education requirement, a degree in biological sciences, agriculture, natural resource management or a related field with specified coursework, so upload transcripts and make the qualifying courses easy to find. Interdisciplinary announcements list each series separately, so read the requirements for the series you are claiming. The federal resume guide covers documenting field and research work.
