Job Title: Integrated Resources Prog Mgr GS-11 (multiple series, biologist,
historian, museum curator)
Major Duties: Incumbent serves as principal advisor to Superintendent and
Management team for management and protection of natural and cultural
resources and is responsible for program development and implementation at
War in the Pacific NHP and American Memorial Park . In addition to
appropriate technical knowledge, applicants should possess the skills and
flexibility necessary to work and live in a multicultural environment.
Coral reef management is the center of the natural resources program.
Current projects include sedimentation studies, wetlands and vegetation
management, shoreline and uplands erosion control, watershed restoration,
and invasive species monitoring. Protection and preservation of the
historic WWII sites is the focus of the cultural resources program, which
includes management of the parks’ collections and preservation of
archeological resources, historic structures, cultural landscapes, and oral
histories. In addition, the resource management program includes public
outreach such as annual “Reef Rangers” youth camps, monthly “Curator’s
Corner” presentations, and participation in other public events.
Resource protection issues at War in the Pacific NHP consist of illegal
harvesting of marine resources, vandalism, wildland fires, off-road
vehicles, and boundary encroachment. At American Memorial Park , there is a
natural wetland providing habitat for several species of concern, as well
as a constructed wetland that drains storm water from the village of
Garapan through the park. Shoreline erosion, water quality and the
prevention of brown tree snake introduction to Saipan are serious concerns.
The incumbent will work closely with the territorial governments, the
Pacific Islands Network Inventory and Monitoring Program, the University of
Guam , and federal agencies. The position is responsible for managing the
parks’ GIS and NEPA/NHPA compliance, development of program budgets, annual
plans, funding requests, and reports direct, and supervision of up to five
employees. The incumbent is a member of the management team and directly
supervised by the Superintendent. Frequent travel to Saipan is necessary.
Position Location: War in the Pacific National Historical Park, Hagatna,
Guam , commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of those who participated in
the Pacific Theater of World War II at seven geographically separate units
covering a total of 2000 acres. Approximately half the NPS managed area is
marine lands. The beach units are very popular for picnicking, snorkeling,
scuba diving, fishing, walking, and kite flying. The Asan Bay Overlook is
often the site of WWII commemorative events, but other upland units of
historical significance are little used by the public.
American Memorial Park (133 acres) honors those who died in the World War
II Mariana Islands campaign with the Court of Honor as its central feature.
The park plays an important role in the community, hosting numerous special
events and it is the prime recreation/open space area for the surrounding
neighborhood with walking paths, picnic areas, ball fields, tennis courts,
marinas, and a 1200-seat amphitheatre.
Both islands offer numerous recreational opportunities such as world class
diving, snorkeling, golf, tennis, and “boonie stomping.” For those who like
to travel, there are frequent flights to Japan , Taiwan , Manila , and other
Micronesian Islands (and one flight daily to Honolulu ). If you are
interested in World War II and military history, Asian cultures, and life
on a small island, this is the place for you! There is a large military
presence on Guam (Air Force and Navy) that is likely to grow with the
proposed transfer of Marine units from Okinawa .
Guam and Saipan are about 1300 miles south of Japan, 1200 miles east of the
Philippine Islands, and 3200 miles west-southwest of Hawaii . The climate is
warm and humid with temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s all year. The rainy
season runs from July to November, with frequent storms and typhoons
possible. Schools, basic medical facilities and shopping are readily
available on Guam ; however, the cost of living is expensive. NPS does not
have access to military housing, medical, or shopping facilities.
