Hello there,

I’m reaching out because we have a rare opportunity – the Bureau of 
Ocean Energy Management is looking to hire three acoustic modelers. It’s 
unusual for a single federal agency to be hiring several at once; it’s 
also a very niched field so we know there are few qualified applicants 
out there. I am wondering if you could please share this notice with 
current graduate students and post-docs (and maybe even faculty)?

I know that many qualified marine acousticians come out of the WHOI 
graduate program, so I think there could be a few who would be 
interested! Also please note that we did advertise this job about a 
month ago, but due to federal hiring rules we were unable to see all of 
the applications. We are now re-advertising under a new set of rules so 
this should no longer be a problem. Anyone who may have applied before 
should consider re-applying.

Many thanks

Erica

BOEM is advertising a second time for underwater ACOUSTIC MODELERS but 
under a Direct-Hire Authority (DHA). The DHA enables an agency to hire, 
after public notice is given, any qualified applicant without regard to 
competitive rating and ranking, veterans' preference, and "rule of 
three" procedures. We encourage applicants who applied in August 2020 to 
consider reapplying under this announcement.

See the link below for more information and instructions to apply. Note 
that the positions can be filled as an engineer or physical scientist. 
We are considering applicants at GS-11, 12 and 13 levels under the DHA. 
Closing date to apply is October 27, 2020. As per U.S. Federal 
government requirements, the position is only open to U.S. citizens. 
Also, be sure any resume submitted clearly shows the experience and 
education required in the job announcement.

is a small agency with a big mission and a fantastic group of 
colleagues. The underwater Acoustic Modelers will join BOEM’s new Center 
for Marine Acoustics (CMA). When fully built, the CMA will develop 
in-house, customized underwater acoustic models and ecological risk 
assessment frameworks for the sources we regulate (e.g., related to 
offshore energy and minerals mining). It will target priority science 
gaps, drive policy development, and improve how BOEM communicates 
acoustic impact risk to all stakeholders. It will also partner with 
domestic and international organizations addressing these same issues.
