<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings nhcoll community,<br>
<br>
I am sharing a hiring opportunity for paleontology fossil preparators, now open at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History. Please spread the word to any interested colleagues.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History is hiring three (3!) experienced and skilled fossil preparators for permanent, full-time, Federal positions. These positions will support the research,
collections management, and outreach of the Department of Paleobiology in our behind-the-scenes Paleobiology Preparation Laboratory, as well as by supervising and managing volunteer preparation projects in our public-facing preparation lab, FossiLab. New hires
should be able to hit the ground running on a wide variety of projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Because FossiLab is open seven days a week, these positions require working an average of one weekend day per two-week pay period in FossiLab. The starting salary wage grade is a GS-9, with Washington,
DC, locality pay, and with promotion potential to a GS-11. A current Federal GS salary table for the D.C. locality pay area can be found

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Because these positions are Federal, only US citizens are eligible to apply.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
