Global Change Postdoctoral Research Position
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Office of Research and Development
Washington, DC
The National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the U.S.
EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) seeks immediate
applications for a postdoctoral research position within the Agency's
Global Change Research Program.
NCEA's Global Change Research Program is focused on conducting
assessments of the potential consequences of global change (particularly
climate variability and change), identifying sources of uncertainty
associated with those assessments, understanding the human dimensions of
global change (as human activities influence and respond to global
change), and evaluating adaptation options to improve society's ability
to effectively respond to the risks and opportunities presented by
global change. Our assessments activities are focused in four main
areas: air quality, water quality, human health, and ecological
condition.
We seek a person with a strong multi-disciplinary background to become
part of the collaborative team working to conduct policy-relevant,
timely assessments. Successful candidates will also have strong
research backgrounds in one of the four main focus areas. Preferred
candidates will have demonstrated experience working in a
multi-disciplinary, collaborative work environment.
NCEA serves as the USEPA national resource center for human health and
ecological risk assessment and occupies a critical position between
laboratory/field researchers and environmental decision-makers. NCEA's
non-laboratory, postdoctoral research positions are ideal for scientists
interested in the conducting ecological risk assessments to support
development of environmental science policies and risk management
approaches.
The postdoctoral position is a three-year, federal government, term
appointment located in Washington, DC. The current salary range is
approximately $43,000 to $74,000 commensurate with qualifications and
experience. Selected candidates receive a full benefits package,
including health insurance, life insurance, retirement, and vacation and
sick leave. Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. within the past five
years and must be U.S. citizens.
To apply for NCEA post-doctoral positions, please send a letter of
interest outlining your research focus, a curriculum vitae, and the
names of three references to: Dr. Jeffrey B. Frithsen, National Center
for Environmental Assessment (8601D), ATTN: NCEA Post-Doctoral
