Interested in working as a federal scientist? UCS has created a toolkit for early and mid-career scientists and will be hosting a Twitter chat Monday at 2 pm ET
To help the nation tackle its most pressing issues, the federal government depends on a pipeline of new and diverse professionals with scientific expertise. With federal scientists playing important roles in protecting our environment, health, safety, and security, there are multiple opportunities for early- and mid-career scientists to help address these challenges .
To help scientists navigate the process of applying for government jobs, this toolkit provides information on how to search for science-based positions in the executive branch, guidance on tailoring your resume and cover letter for federal agency jobs, and tips for interviewing with civil servants. Pay particular attention to the qualification and eligibility requirements in a job posting. Applicants should satisfy most, if not all, of the qualifications listed in the posted job description. While in other industries you may apply for jobs you are not entirely qualified for, your skills should more precisely fit what government agencies say they are seeking in the positions they post.
After creating a profile on USAJobs, use the website's Resume Builder to ensure that your federal resume includes all important information. Note that most federal agencies want your resume to be in the format provided by USAJobs. Review the agency's mission, then describe how your goals align with the agency's. For example, if you apply for a position at the EPA, highlight your passion for and work to protect human health and the environment.
Search for information about the interviewers. What are their backgrounds and current roles? Think about how you might interact with them if you received the job.
