This announcement will be accepting candidate submissions until 11:45 EST, 12 November 2026.

At the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), breakthrough technology begins with world-class talent. From hypersonics and quantum computing to directed energy, autonomous flight, and space operations, AFRL leads the discovery, development, and delivery of warfighting technologies for our nations Air and Space Forces. Behind every cutting-edge breakthrough is a team of brilliant scientists, engineers, and mission partners-and behind them are the strategic human capital experts who make it all possible.

As an HR Advisor, you won't just manage personnel actions; you will serve as the strategic linchpin solving high-stakes human capital puzzles. Operating within the cutting-edge flexibilities of the Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratory (STRL) Personnel Demonstration Project (Lab Demo), you will dismantle bureaucratic bottlenecks, deploy specialized hiring authorities, shape elite organizational structures, and directly accelerate the speed of innovation for the warfighter.

What You Will Do: As an embedded expert and trusted advisor to senior leaders, supervisors and laboratory personnel, your day-to-day impact centers on:

The Strategic Bridge: Partner directly with senior leaders to translate high-level strategic visions into agile workforce realities, aligning civilian personnel and manpower solutions to high-priority national security missions.

The Go-To Personnel Authority: Master and deploy AFRL's specialized STRL Lab Demo authorities and flexibilities. Leverage Direct Hire Authorities (DHA) and Expedited Hiring Authorities (EHA) to rapidly capture premier scientific and operational talent from industry and academia.

Lab Demo Classification & Position Architecture: Rapidly evaluate, design, and classify sophisticated technical and operational positions under STRL broadband standards, translating complex mission requirements into high-performing occupational series.

Pay Setting & Contribution Analysis: Formulate data-driven salary and pay-setting recommendations using market analytics, benchmarking industry salary surveys, federal labor statistics, historical hiring data, and enterprise compensation structures to attract and retain elite talent.

Organizational Optimization & Manning Strategy: Review, validate, and shape organizational structures, reorganizations, and manpower shifts. Analyze workload and staffing metrics to author compelling statistical justifications and resource allocations.

Program Navigation & Workforce Empowerment: Guide supervisors and employees through intricate civilian programs, including the Acquisition Professional Development Program (APDP), workforce development initiatives, advanced awards and recognition, and executive-level advisory matters.
