Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21201 Phone: 410 837 5348 email: [log in to unmask] web: http://home.ubalt.edu/tmitch _____ From: Miller, Regan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 1:29 PM To: tom mitchell Subject: Personnel Research Psychologist Position w/ Secret Service Hey there - The link below takes you to USAJOBS for the vacancy announcement. Applicants have until March 17 at 11:59pm to apply. The specialized experience is not described in the announcement very well. But an individual who has survey/assessment experience would likely qualify. The experience has to be equivalent to one year of full time experience. The following paragraph explains more what the individual would be doing on entry. Resumes should be tailored to include duties performed related to the information below. Anyone interested in applying really needs to thoroughly describe their experience to qualify. "GS-11 engineering or personnel psychologists are assigned to projects such as (1) analyzing human capabilities and limitations in the operation or monitoring of specific machine functions in a man-machine function, (2) planning a survey of a defined population to determine attitudes and reactions to alternate forms of social or occupational organization, or (3) conducting a study to determine the predictive usefulness of existing tests for specific occupations. They exercise professional judgment and creativity in applying existing theory and available methods and precedents to the conditions and needs of a specific project. Studies typical of grade GS-11 do not involve the development of novel instruments, methods, or criteria, but the adaptation of types which have had previous successful use in similar situations. GS-11 psychologists evaluate data and reports of previous studies, analyze the results, and determine their applicability to the present project. They develop plans for the study, experimental models, proposed tests, and questionnaires; carry out statistical and other kinds of validation studies; assess results and judge their applicability and value to the problem; and make recommendations and reports to their superiors." I know this job is posted on SIOP and USAJOBS, but neither announcement is really up-to-par for government standards.I thought I'd pass along additional information that may help interested students apply. http://jobsearch.usajobs.gov/getjob.asp?JobID=79584443 <http://jobsearch.usajobs.gov/getjob.asp?JobID=79584443&AVSDM=2009%2D02%2D25 +17%3A09%3A21&Logo=0&sort=rv&vw=d&brd=3876&ss=0&customapplicant=15513,15514, 15515,15669,15523,15512,15516,45575&q=personnel+research+psychologist> &AVSDM=2009%2D02%2D25+17%3A09%3A21&Logo=0&sort=rv&vw=d&brd=3876&ss=0&customa pplicant=15513,15514,15515,15669,15523,15512,15516,45575&q=personnel+researc h+psychologist Thanks!
