Juneau, United States National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration Full time

As an Attorney-Advisor in the NOAA Office of the General Counsel, Alaska Section:

You will work closely with experienced biologists and fishery managers in developing, reviewing, and defending regulations, permits, and policies relating to the management and conservation of marine resources. This position requires interaction with other NOAA General Counsel Office attorneys, scientists, policy makers and technical staff, Department of Commerce officials, other Federal and state agency officials, members of the regulated community, and representatives of public interest organizations. It also involves active participation, in concert with U.S. Department of Justice attorneys, in defending NOAA cases brought under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, National Environmental Policy Act, and other similar laws. The work involves researching and analyzing complex and challenging issues under these laws, and other laws relating to federal operations such as the Freedom of Information Act.

The position is located in Juneau, Alaska (Dzánti K'ihéeni), the U.S.'s second largest capital city by land area. Abutting Gastineau Channel to the west and surrounded by the Tongass National Forest (the U.S.'s largest National Forest), Juneau offers a plethora of recreational opportunities: sea-kayaking, skiing, biking, hiking, camping, climbing, mountaineering, rafting, fishing, bird watching, kiteboarding, paragliding, golf, disc golf, hockey, and Alaskan curling. It also boasts a city and state museum, and is home to Alaska's only professional theater, Perseverance Theater. And if those attributes haven't sparked your dormant vocational-avocational wanderlust, Juneau hosts the week-long Alaska Folk Festival every spring and Juneau Jazz and Classics every summer.

The attorney(s) will be hired at the GS-12 through GS-15 grade levels, depending on experience. The promotion potential for this position is GS-15 level.
