Experience your America and build a fulfilling career by joining the National Park Service. Become a part of our mission to unite our past, our cultures and our special places, to establish important connections to the present and build a rich and lasting legacy for future generations.

This position is located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, in the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service, in the Cultural Resource Management Division. 

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is located 35 miles Southwest of Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. Headquarters and residential areas are at an elevation of 4,000 ft. on the summit of Kilauea Volcano.

This position is being filled under the Pathways Internship Program which is designed to provide students enrolled in a wide variety of educational institutions, from high school to graduate level, with paid work opportunities in agencies to explore federal careers while still in school. Applicants must be current students, enrolled or accepted on at least a half-time basis, and pursuing a degree or certificate in a qualifying education institution (see the ‘Education' section for more information). Interns may be converted to a term, career-conditional or career appointment within 120 days following successful completion of all of their education and work experience requirements. For more information on the Pathways Intern Program, visit: http://www.opm.gov/HiringReform/Pathways.

WHO MAY APPLY: Current students in an accredited high school, college (including 4-year colleges/universities, community colleges, and junior colleges); professional, technical, vocational, and trade school; advanced degree programs; or other qualifying education institutions pursuing a qualifying degree or certificate, in good academic standing (GPA of 2.0 and above).

Appointment Information: This position is a temporary position and will be for a period not to exceed one year, with the possibility of extensions in one year increments. Extensions are based on the student’s continuing eligibility for the Pathways Program and upon the needs and funding of the park.

Work Schedule: Work hours vary throughout the school year. For example, during the summer, the student may be scheduled to work up to 40 hours per week, and during the school year, the student may be scheduled to work approximately 20 hours per week around their class schedule.

Government Housing IS NOT available.

The full promotion potential of this position is: 05

NOTE: Recently passed legislation provides that federal salaries in Hawaii will transition from base pay plus a cost-of-living allowance (COLA) to the locality pay-based system that already applies in the 48 contiguous states. The locality pay will be phased in over 3 years (2010-2012); COLA will be phased out through annual reductions over a longer period. Currently, the COLA pay in Hawaii is 12.25% with the exception of the island of Hawaii, which is 6.24%. The salary annotated on this announcement includes the locality, however, does not include the cost-of-living allowance.

Special Consideration: The island of Hawaii is subject to high concentrations of volcanic fumes, especially sulfur dioxide gasses. The fumes are known to be hazardous to an unborn fetus, and persons with heart and respiratory problems. The Kona coast experiences fog conditions throughout the year. Long-term effects on normal healthy persons is unknown.
