NOAA Regional Coordinator Positions
NOAA is looking for management level individuals at the ZA-0343-4 and GS-0343-13/14 levels to further NOAA’s Regional Coordinator effort. One coordinator will be hired to serve on each of NOAA’s eight Regional Coordinator Teams: Alaska, Central, Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic, Pacific, Southeast & Caribbean, and Western. The vacancy announcements for these positions are open until 12 midnight E.S.T. on Thursday, October 16, 2008. These Regional Teams deal with issues that cross traditional political boundaries such as climate change and the impact of natural disasters. The Regional Teams work to increase the value and consistency of NOAA’s services to our customers by improving inter-agency service integration and regional coordination of federal agencies, states, and other stakeholders.
The coordinators support the teams as they blend the place-based needs of customers and partners at the regional scale with NOAA’s priorities and responsibilities as a federal agency. The selected individuals will assess our stakeholders’ needs, strengthen relationships with our partners, and promote the “one NOAA” principles of improved internal communications and efficiency.
NOAA’s Regional Coordinator Teams were formed to improve the agency’s delivery of services such as drought information, marine protected areas, climate services, and ecosystem assessments that cut across Line Offices. Success of this effort will be measured by NOAA’s ability to advance the work of the agency towards these goals:
- Improved services for the benefit of NOAA’s customers (e.g., citizens, researchers, resource managers);
- Increased value and productivity of partnerships (e.g., other federal agencies, academic institutions, state and local governments);
- Improved stakeholder relations and support (e.g., Congress, non-profits, industry);
- Improved internal communications and efficiency across NOAA’s existing organizational structure; and
- A more visible and valued NOAA.
This job is open to status (MAP) and non-status (DEU) applicants, and current NOAA employees are encouraged to apply to the status positions. Note that each duty station is located in selected cities within each of the eight regions and each region will be advertised separately, so please look at the location carefully when applying.
To apply as a “status” (MAP) candidate, you must be a current or former Federal civilian employee who holds or held a non-temporary appointment:
- In the competitive service in the Executive Branch or in a position not in the Executive branch specifically included in the competitive service by statute, or
- In an excepted service position covered by an interchange agreement, or
- Eligible for reinstatement?
- A Veteran eligible for Veterans’ Preference or separated from the armed forces under honorable conditions after 3 years or more of continuous military service?
- A person with non-competitive appointment eligibility?
All other candidates should apply as a non-status (DEU) candidate.
