PRINCIPAL SCIENTIST FOR MARITIME SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR

The applicant is to provide a separate narrative statement which describes fully, but concisely, how his/her experience supports each of the following Mandatory Technical Qualifications. Each technical qualification narrative should not exceed 2 pages. Failure to address these specific qualifications in a separate narrative statement will eliminate you from consideration: 1. Demonstrated competence in understanding, planning, and conducting research on the impact of mesoscale oceanography and ocean dynamics on radar and electro-optical remote sensing technologies. 2. Demonstrated research spanning physical oceanography, target detection and characterization, atmospheric phenomena (even for microware synthetic-aperture radar (SAR)) and derived inferences. 3. Demonstrated ability to develop cross-organizational teams to address the research problems, and identify and secure funding from sponsors for this research. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/#url=GS-PROF AND Physics Series 1310 (opm.gov) Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (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 serve as the Principal Scientist for Maritime Synthetic Aperture Radar, a Senior Scientific Technical Manager (SSTM) position, located in the Remote Sensing Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory located in Washington DC.
