Per Francisco J. Borrero:

We have an opening for an exciting opportunity to work with the USDA, here at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

An ad for 4 permanent positions (one here at the Academy) was posted today, Nov. 9, and will remain open until November 16^th (very short window). This is the direct link to the actual position(s)-

1. As mentioned, 4 technicians are being sought, one of them to work in the USDA Malacology Lab here at the Academy of Natural Sciences (Philadelphia). The other 3 positions are in Entomology, Botany, and I believe Plant Pathology, and are in the Washington D.C. area. Even though a Biological Sciences degree is required, people with degrees in compatible careers can be considered.

2. Open window for applications is very tight: started today (Nov. 9), closing Nov. 16^th. Date for starting job is negotiable.
3. Interested candidates must start an account with USAJOBS.gov as soon as possible and put their papers together to comply with the short window of opportunity.
4. If anybody would like to contact me, I can answer basic questions, and can make suggestions to tailor a competitive application. As needed, I can also refer to my supervisors.
