About the Role

This Direct-Hire position is in the Food and Drug Administration and is located in the Center for Tobacco Products, Office of Science, Division of Product Science, which protects the public health of the U.S. population from tobacco-related death and disease.

What You'll Do

  • Serves as a Chemist, responsible for performing scientific reviews and evaluations associated with tobacco product marketing applications.
  • Performs reviews and evaluations of chemical studies conducted on tobacco products and tobacco product smoke/aerosol.
  • Collaborates with other scientists to integrate and synthesize chemistry principles and evaluations into final work products.
  • Communicates technical scientific information in a clear manner that non- scientists can understand information contained in rulemaking and guidance documents or other policy documents.
  • Participates in identifying knowledge gaps that require additional laboratory studies in order to better understand tobacco product chemistry.

Requirements

  • TRANSCRIPTS: Positions which are scientific or technical in nature often have very specific educational requirements.
  • You must submit an official transcript, unofficial transcript, or a list including courses, grades earned, completion dates, and quarter and semester hours earned.
  • If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities, see the Foreign Education section below for additional requirements.
  • Pay careful attention to the Qualifications and Education sections to identify vacancies where a transcript is required.
  • Even if you hold a similar position or are a current employee, you are not exempt from transcript requirements.
  • Electronic Transcript Caution: If you have obtained your transcripts electronically, the file might contain security measures that could prevent our application system from reading the file.
  • Therefore, you should consider asking the institution to provide the file in a non-secured electronic format.
  • Alternatively, you could scan or take a photo of the printed copy of the transcript.
  • If your uploaded transcript cannot be read by our system, you may receive consideration and credit for the information we can access.
  • See the Application Manager Documentation for tips on submitting your paper-based documents.
  • FOREIGN EDUCATION Applicants using part, or all of their education completed outside of the U.S. to meet the qualification requirements, must have their foreign education evaluated by an accredited organization to ensure that the foreign education is comparable to education received in accredited educational institutions in the U.S.
  • We will only accept the completed foreign credential evaluation.
  • Note: Some positions require the completion of specific courses or a specified number of credit hours.
  • Therefore, the foreign credential evaluation should provide information similar to that of an official transcript, to include a list of the courses taken, quarter and/or semester hours awarded, the cumulative grade point average (GPA), honors received, if any, date degree awarded.
