  To qualify for this position at the GS-05 grade level, you must possess at least one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement:

This experience includes activities such as: collection management; registration and cataloging of museum materials and records; research archives; using basic preservation, restoration, or conservation methods to manage collections of museum material.

Related fields of study for a Museum Technician include: art, history, museum studies, or other courses closely related to the position to be filled. The education must have been obtained at an accredited college or university. IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: If you are using education to qualify you must document your course work and/or degree completed in your resume or other application materials you submit. You must submit a copy of your transcripts, or a complete list of college courses taken that identifies for each course the college or university, semester or quarter hours earned, grade received, and date completed.
