Hi W5185 folks,



Please pass this announcement on to anyone who might be interested.



*USDA-ARS Biological Science Technician, Sidney, Montana*. The USDA
Agricultural
Research Service, Pest Management Research Unit in Sidney, Montana is
seeking a permanent, full time Biological Science Technician to support
research on the sustainable management of insect pests in agroecosystems
with a focus on entomology, insect ecology and conservation biological
control. The selected candidate is expected to have strong experience in
insect sampling and identification; data and sample management, laboratory
organization and field entomology or ecology; a strong work ethic and
excellent interpersonal skills. Experience in plant identification and
statistical data analysis is preferred but not required. Seasonal overnight
travel, driving to field sites, and work in rough terrain and potentially
harsh weather conditions is expected. The research unit mission is to
develop ecologically based, sustainable and environmentally friendly
approaches to manage pest insects, beneficial organisms and weeds in
rangeland and cropland systems. Our location houses a team of highly
collaborative and enthusiastic scientists and technical staff working in
the fields of ecology, botany, entomology, habitat management, population
genetics, and agronomy. This is a permanent, full-time position advertised
at a GS-6 (starting salary $44K), GS-7 ($49K), GS-8 ($54K) with promotion
potential to a GS-9. The position provides full benefits including 13 days
of both paid vacation and sick leave in the first year, 11 paid federal
holidays, health insurance, a federal pension and 401K employer matching
contributions. The position is open to all U.S. Citizens and Nationals and
is open from July 9 to July 23, 2024.



Please apply on USAJobs. This job is concurrently advertised under TWO
announcements differing in eligibility requirements: 1) All US citizens
https://www.usajobs.gov/job/798970300; 2) Merit promotion including current
and former federal employees, former AmeriCorps VISTA or Peace Corps,
military spouses and other categories  https://www.usajobs.gov/job/798970900.
Applying to both announcements may expand the possibilities of
consideration since different referral criteria apply to each announcement.

scientists in the research unit visit: www.ars.usda.gov/pa/nparl/trand and
