The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research would like to alert you to new temporary staff opportunities. DOE is seeking qualified individuals to join our Climate and Environmental Sciences Division as Program Manager rotators (under the Interagency Personnel Act - similar to NSF rotators). The positions would be for up to two years. Potential IPAs must have a permanent position in either a University or not-for-profit research institution located in the U.S., and would be "loaned" from their home institution to DOE for the performance period. The positions would not be as federal employees. As a rotator, the candidate will co-manage a program within the Division with specific duties including: co-write/manage funding opportunity announcements; manage resulting research projects; assist in coordinating activities at the DOE National laboratories; develop strategic plans and program workshops, plan annual principle investigator meetings, participate in federal interagency coordination committees, etc. In addition, candidates would be expected to have excellent communication skills involving both writing and oral presentation. The positions are based in Germantown, MD (DC metro area) and are limited to US citizens. A Ph.D. is required. Candidates are invited to work within the following programmatic areas: 1. Environmental System Science (Terrestrial Ecosystem Science, TES) - Ideal candidate would possess expertise relevant to the TES program such as biogeochemistry, ecosystem ecology, microbial ecology, eco-hydrology, carbon feedbacks (http://tes.science.energy.gov/ for more information on program activities and scope). 2. Climate and Earth System Modeling (Earth System Modeling, ESM) - Ideal candidate would possess expertise with model development, expertise in one or more of the following: climate-scale modeling of the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, land, or coupled system; representation of human-systems needed in climate models; computational methods for complex model systems. (http://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/ for more information on program activities and scope). For additional information, please contact or send a CV and statement of interest to Dr. Gary Geernaert ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, CESD Division Director), Dr. Dan Stover ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, TES), or Dorothy Koch ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, ESM). Serious inquires only please. I will be at the AGU meeting December 12-15 if you have specific questions regarding this opportunity. Dan Stover __________________________________________ Daniel B.
