NOTE: First time hires to the Federal Government are typically hired at the Step 01. MAJOR DUTIES: As a Statistician within the Central Energy Resouces Science Center, some of your specific duties will include: Uses statistical and mathematical models of geology, energy resources, and sedimentary basins to understand, characterize, and describe the nature, occurrence, volume, aerial extent, and uncertainty/risking of domestic and international petroleum resources. Develops, tests, and applies statistical theories, hypotheses, and new, innovative natural resource models, methodologies, and/or workflows, both conceptual and quantitative, that incorporate uncertainty in geological, geophysical, and geochemical databases to predict the formation, evolution, and quantity of petroleum resources across a range of temporal and spatial scales. Applies and deploys statistical theory, processes, and practices, as well as mathematical concepts and methods to improve, develop, and implement new peer-reviewed methodologies for the assessment of technically recoverable conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources in the U.S. and world. Adapts and develops new statistical methods to solve specific problems related to petroleum assessments. Provides comprehensive, professional guidance and input to ERP geoscientists in the development, implementation, and application of the full spectrum of statistical and methodological issues related to the quantitative assessment of petroleum and other energy resources. Serves as an expert and the primary point of contact to assist scientists and managers on statistical theory, analytical methods, quantitative methodologies and results, and the use, interpretation, and significance of assessed resources and their effects on resource management strategies, energy development scenarios, and impacts on the environment and domestic economics. Presents results and findings of statistical theories, mathematical and multivariate analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, probabilistic models and distributions, and analysis of spatial statistics of petroleum resources at conferences and in technical journals and publications. Operates a government owned/leased vehicle as an incidental driver. IMPORTANT: Click the 'Apply for this job' button to view a complete job description.
