(We just received this e-mail.)
Biotechnology Regulatory Services (BRS) of the Animal and Plant Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is planning to recruit multiple Weed Ecologists (initially not to exceed two years) at GS-9 and GS-11 grades depending upon the selected candidates' educational (BS, MS, PhD, Postdoc) and work experience. The advertisement for these positions is going to appear very soon in the USAJobs site (https://www.usajobs.gov/). This advertisement will run probably for a week and I will email you the link when I hear from my HR. The purpose of this email is to request you to encourage interested students/staff members in your lab to prepare their federal resume, as the application process is little different (a sample advertisement link: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/450971300/) than the one required for an academic position.
Thank you very much for your assistance in advance!
Sincerely,
