POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM RESEARCH THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD Landscape/Seascape Characterization and Modeling GED-05-03-10-205 1) Characterize and map where watershed stresses originate, how they are transported, and the spatial and temporal extent of coral reef exposure 2) Derive empirical relationships to quantitatively assess the impact of land use, watershed management and aquatic management (e.g., marine protected areas) on coral reef persistence and delivery of ecosystem services 3) Implement or develop models to evaluate transport of watershed stressors to coastal zones and coral reefs, and their impact on coral reef condition and ecosystem services 4) Support development of water quality standards that are both protective of valued resources and capable of identifying likely sources of impairment 5) Collaborate in development of predictive simulation models for incorporation into decision support tools UNSURPASSED FEDERAL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS • Starting salary-- $46,625 for new Ph.D.; up to $87,893 for post- doctoral experience • Full three-year appointments • Paid relocation to EPA duty location • Vacation and sick leave • Federal health benefits, life insurance, and retirement program • Travel to professional scientific meetings EASY APPLICATION PROCESS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS BETWEEN MAY 3 – JUNE 30, 2010: • Up-to-date Curriculum Vitae • Letter of recommendation from your research advisor or comparable official • Cover letter indicating positions and locations of interest • DD-214, if claiming veteran’s preference • Preference is given to U.S. Citizens EMail to: [email protected] Include "NHEERL Post-Doctoral Program" in the subject line.
