Appointment and advancement in this series are based on professional achievements and the impact of their technical contributions to the respective research field.
Appointments may be made on a full-time, part-time, or without-salary basis. Initial appointments are typically for one year, with the possibility of renewal. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. The current base pay range for this position is $96,700 to $257,100.
Basic qualifications required at the time of application include an earned Ph.D. degree or its equivalent.
