USDA APHIS is about to announce an area identifier position with a primary duty of morphological identification of plant-associated fungi. The position announcement will be open on April 7 for document uploading, but the details can be viewed now at
https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/596362600
If you know of anyone who loves microscopy and the process of morphological identification of microfungi, please encourage them to apply! I’m happy to answer any questions about the position itself and/or the application process. This is the first of three similar positions that will be announced in the next few months, two in Miami and one in Atlanta.
The position is being advertised at a GS-9 level, but people who are hired into these positions are often hired at the GS-11 level.
We are hoping for a large and diverse candidate pool!
