JOB SUMMARY:
Kalaupapa National Historical Park (NHP) may be filling one Museum Technician
(General) position to assist with cultural resources work. Kalaupapa NHP
established as a park unit in 1980, is located midway along the north coast of
the island of Molokai, in the State of Hawaii. The park is situated entirely
within Kalawao County, which is governed by the Director of the State
Department of Health. The County includes the historic Hansen's disease
isolation settlements of Kalawao and Kalaupapa. The park was established to
commemorate and preserve the story of those afflicted with this dreaded
disease and their forced exile from family and friends. Hansen's disease
patients were physically isolated from society. For more information, please
visit the park's Facebook page.
The access to Kalaupapa is very restrictive, not only for tourists, but also
for your friends and family. By State Law, friends and family may only visit
the park 13 days each quarter of the year and they must wear a visitor ID tag
throughout each visit.
The cost to travel by plane from Kalaupapa to Honolulu is approximately $160
round trip for residents and $320 round trip for non-residents, including your
family members. The other transportation alternative to flying is to hike 3.5
miles up a very steep trail from the park to topside Molokai. Once you reach
the top of the trail, you will still need to find transportation to get to the
airport and/or the only large town on Molokai, which are both about 10 miles
from the trail head.
This is a full-time TERM position. Appointment to this position will not
convey permanent status in the Federal service and will be for a period not to
exceed 13 months, with the possibility of incremental extensions up to a total
of four years without further competition.
This position is Subject to Periods of Non-Pay, and is expected to be placed
in mandatory non-pay status for a minimum of 2 weeks to a maximum of 6 months
each year.
