Description du poste

\"Position may be filled at Whitehall, OH or Richmond, VA\"

Whitehall, OH: $111,065 - $144,386

Richmond, VA: $111,183 - $144,540

To qualify for an Operations Research Analyst, your resume and supporting documentation must support:

A. Basic Education Requirement: A bachelor's degree or higher in Operations Research. 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. At least 3 of the 24 semester hours must have been in Calculus.

NOTE: Courses acceptable for qualifying for operations research positions may have been taken in departments other than Operations Research, e.g., Engineering (usually Industrial Engineering), Science, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, or Management Science. The following are illustrative of acceptable courses: optimization; mathematical modeling; queueing theory; engineering; physics (except descriptive or survey courses); econometrics; psychometrics; biometrics; experimental psychology; physical chemistry; industrial process analysis; managerial economics; computer science; measurement for management; mathematical models in social phenomena; and courses that involved application of operations research techniques and methodologies to problems of management, marketing, systems design, and other specialized fields; or other comparable quantitative analysis courses for which college‑level mathematics or statistics is a prerequisite.

B. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to successfully perform the duties of the position and is directly in or related to this position. To qualify at the GS-13 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Creditable specialized experience includes:

• Design, develop and adapt mathematical, statistical, and other scientific methods and techniques to analyze problems of a highly significant nature; applying scientific techniques, with emphasis on mathematical disciplines.
• Use simulations and other tools to perform scenario and problem identification prepares study plans that define complex study efforts by providing background, description, approach, project milestones, resource requirements, and expected business improvements.
• Lead study groups in the general application of mathematical modeling, economic analysis, statistics, simulation, optimization programming, probability theory, or other quantitative methods; provides work assignment and reviews progress of other analysts.

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, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
