Sorry if I was misunderstood. glup's reply to my comment nailed it.

He started in DOI as a seasonal post-doc for USFW at a GS-5. My point is merely that the work he was doing then, much less at the end of his career, was both much more specialized and much more intrinsically valuable than a sysad working on this project. And I say that as a recovering sysadmin who's overqualified for this role.

As glup pointed out, y'all have to be competitive though, so this was much more of a comment about the priorities of labor markets than this particular posting.

Regardless, appreciate y'all posting roles like this here.
