appropriate to the position. (Must provide transcripts)

AND
Minimum Qualifications:
In additional to meeting at least one of the basic requirements above, you
must have one-year specialized experience to perform successfully the duties
of the position. To be creditable, specialized experience must have been
equivalent to at least the GS-13 grade level in the Federal service
performing at least two (2)of the following:
(1) Conducting disability and rehabilitation research and development (R&D)
activities that generate new knowledge or products to promote positive
outcomes among people with disabilities
(2) Evaluating disability research findings, trends, and issues to establish
future research questions and development aims
(3) Effectively communicating about disability and rehabilitation research
concepts and practices to professional and lay-audiences.
Documenting experience: IN DESCRIBING YOUR EXPERIENCE, PLEASE BE CLEAR AND
SPECIFIC. WE WILL NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING YOUR EXPERIENCE.
Qualifications are based on breadth/level of experience. In addition to
describing duties performed, applicants must provide the exact dates of each
period of employment (from MM/YY to MM/YY) and the number of hours worked
per week if part time. As qualification determinations cannot be made when
resumes do not include the required information, failure to provide this
information may result in disqualification. Applicants are encouraged to use
the USAJOBS Resume Builder to develop their federal resume.
Do not copy and paste the duties, specialized experience, or occupational
application questionnaire from this announcement into your resume as that
will not be considered a demonstration of your qualifications for this
position.
In accordance with Office of Personnel Management policy, federal employees
are assumed to have gained experience by performing duties and
responsibilities appropriate for their official series and grade level as
described in their position description. Experience that would not normally
be part of the employee's position is creditable, however, when documented
by satisfactory evidence, such as a signed memorandum from the employee's
supervisor or an SF-50 or SF-52 documenting an official detail or other
official assignment. The documentation must indicate whether the duties were
performed full time or, if part time, the "percentage of times" the other
duties were performed. It is expected that this documentation is included in
the employee's official personnel record. In order to receive credit for
experience in your resume that is not within the official series and grade
level of your official position, you must provide a copy of the appropriate
documentation of such experience as indicated above.
Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work
done through national Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and
other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious;
community; student; social). Volunteer work helps build critical
competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and
experience that translates directly to gain employment. You will receive
credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. If
such experience is on a part-time basis, you must provide the average number
of hours worked per week as well as the beginning and ending dates of the
experience so it can be fully credited.

education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S.

In accordance with Executive Order 12564 of September 14, 1986, The
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is A Drug-Free Federal
Workplace. The use of illegal drugs, on or off duty, by Federal employees is
inconsistent not only with the law-abiding behavior expected of all

servants of the public.
Once the application process is complete, a review of the resume and
supporting documentation will be made and compared against your responses to
the application questionnaire to determine if you are qualified for this
job. If, after reviewing your resume and/or supporting documentation, a

identical to those required by the position.

to those required by the position.
* Qualified - Applicants who meet minimum qualification requirements,
but do not identify any additional qualifying experience or skill.
Candidates in the highest category will be referred to the hiring agency.
The Category Rating Process does not add veterans' preference points but
protects the rights of veterans by placing them ahead of non-preference
eligibles within each category. Preference eligibles who meet the minimum
qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected
disability of at least 10 percent must be listed in the highest quality
category (except in the case of scientific or professional positions at the
GS-9 level or higher). Your qualifications will be evaluated on the
