Good morning -

CBP is seeking individuals who want to put their scientific education to use protecting America's environment, economy and food supply by preventing the introduction of plan viruses, diseases and bio-threats.

Agriculture Specialists work at more than 300 ports of entry located at international airports, seaports and land borders, to curtail the spread of harmful pests and plant and animal diseases that may harm America's farms and food supply as well as avert bio- and agro-terrorism.  Applicants must have a bachelor's or higher degree with a major field of study in Biological Sciences (including Botany, Entomology and Plant Pathology), Agriculture, Natural Resource Management, Chemistry or a field directly related to the position.

This position offers the full range of federal benefits including health and life insurance, paid vacation, sick leave, and a retirement plan. Starting salary range is $31,944 - $48,403, with non-competitive promotion potential to $70,192, plus opportunities to earn overtime pay.

Applications will be accepted through USAJOBS<https://www.usajobs.gov/> from February 25 - March 12, 2015.  I have attached an informational flyer, Fact Sheet and FAQ which you can disseminate to interested students and/or post it in your department or career center.
