Physical Scientist-GS-1301-09 (DEU-TERM-SS)
As a Physical Scientist within the St Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, some of your specific duties will include:
Develops and runs coastal hydrodynamic and morphologic models in support of project needs. Analyzes output from numerical models of hydrodynamic coastal morphology. Develops scripts and processes codes to analyze hydrodynamic and morphologic data using Matlab or other programing languages. Assists research scientist in preparing papers, technical reports, presentations and publishing data on coastal change processes. PHYSICAL DEMANDS:
The work is primarily sedentary. Field assignments, such as post-storm reconnaissance and topographic surveying are rare but, if required, will involve outdoor work where there may be considerable walking and/or climbing over rough terrain and exposure to heat and humidity. WORK ENVIRONMENT:
Work is typically performed in an office; however, during the field season, it may involve exposure to a range of weather and temperature conditions, insects, and potentially dangerous wildlife. --The U. S. Geological Survey has determined that the duties of this position are suitable for telework and the selectee may be allowed to telework with supervisor approval. --Operates a motor vehicle as an incident driver.

Examples include performing a variety of observations, computations, compilations and analyses in assisting higher-level scientists in carrying out physical science assignments. This work experience would have involved following established methods and procedures, or detailed instructions; using some judgment in applying basic principles and procedures; and independently completing recurring assignments, but referring deviations, problems, and unfamiliar situations to a designated person for decision or help. You must meet all qualification and eligibility requirements for the position by the closing date of the announcement.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
