MANDATORY QUALIFICATION CRITERIA:

For this particular job, applicants must meet all competencies reflected under the Mandatory Qualification Criteria to include education (if required). Online resumes must demonstrate qualification by providing specific examples and associated results, in response to the announcement's mandatory criteria specified in this vacancy announcement:

• Demonstrated experience communicating with, and conveying information to, both technical and non-technical personnel to share knowledge or to solve problems.
• Demonstrated experience using quantitative and qualitative analysis methods to solve problems and reach data-supported conclusions.
• Demonstrated experience developing models, visualizing data, and/or performing a range of analyses (e.g., systems analysis, comparative analysis) using analytic tools.
• Demonstrated proficiency in data analysis with a programming language such as R, Python or similar programming language, or software such as SAS or SPSS.
• Demonstrated experience with GIS and remote sensing tools (such as ArcGIS/Arc Pro, Boundless Desktop GIS, or QGIS) to conduct, or enhance, analysis.

EDUCATION REQUIREMENT:

A. Education: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Operations Research, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Geography, or Natural Sciences; or at least 24 semester-hours in a combination of Operations Research, Mathematics, Probability, Statistics, Mathematical Logic, Science, or subject-matter courses requiring substantial competence in college-level Mathematics or Statistics.
