Good evening. Please distribute this email broadly internally and externally.
We are looking for an exceptional individual for an exceptional job. Below are the links to our Pennsylvania ES Field Office (PAFO) Supervisor position advertisement. It is a GS-13/14, open to all sources and closes 1/24/18. We are offering relocation benefits.
The PAFO is located in State College and has about 16 employees. The office is responsible for a variety of Ecological Services program activities that include endangered species, habitat conservation and restoration, Conservation Planning Assistance, NRDAR, HCPs and Partners for Fish and Wildlife.
This position provides leadership and management oversight to the office’s budget, personnel, strategic planning, general administration, and integrity of all PAFO activities. The Project Leader is the lead representative for Ecological Services matters in Pennsylvania and works to develop and maintain strong partnerships with a variety of diverse interest groups to further the Service’s conservation mission.
State College is great place to live; it is a college town in the center of Pennsylvania and benefits economically and demographically by the presence of Pennsylvania State University. The area has been nicknamed “Happy Valley” and was ranked the 3rd safest metropolitan area in the US by CQ Press in 2013. The area is surrounded by thousands of acres of State-owned land, with endless opportunities for hiking, biking, hunting, camping, boating, angling, and skiing. For example, you can go backpacking on the Mid-State trail, ride your mountain bike or trail run in the Rothrock State Forest, hunt grouse in the Scotia game lands, or test your flies on Spruce or Spring Creek--all of these opportunities are at your doorstep in State College.
The State College Area School District is rated one of the best in the State, with a newly constructed high school opening in 2018. There are good career opportunities for a spouse/partner, especially in technology, medical, and education fields. Penn State University also brings live music, performing arts, NCAA Division 1 Football and other entertainment that you wouldn't expect in a small town.
State College has a small, but super convenient airport, with direct flights to Chicago, Detroit, Dulles, and Philadelphia. The town has the rural character and relaxed lifestyle you would expect to find in central Pennsylvania, but is an easy drive to New York City, the DC area, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh, for when you want a weekend getaway in the city.
