Director, University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory
Aiken, SC
The University of Georgia (UGA) is searching for a successful and
creative leader to guide its world-renowned Savannah River Ecology Laboratory
(SREL) to new heights of accomplishment. Due to its location on the Department
of Energy's protected Savannah River Site (DOE-SRS), SREL has unique access to
large, undisturbed areas and unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary
research in ecological and environmental areas of topical importance. SREL,
established by ecology pioneer Eugene Odum, has many long-term data sets that
are unique resources for cutting-edge environmental and ecological work in
areas such as climate change, the nuclear energy renaissance, and contamination
and remediation of wetlands. The next leader will develop new initiatives and
help build critical partnerships with other institutions - including the
Savannah River National Laboratory, other research groups on the SRS, and the
Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) - to conduct research on
and off the SRS.
The SREL Director will report directly to the UGA Vice President for
Research (OVPR) and be located at SREL, but will have a faculty appointment
through an appropriate UGA school or department.
The successful candidate will have a PhD, at least 15 years of
experience in a relevant science, and be a nationally recognized research
scientist with a strong research track record and history of external funding.
Salary will be commensurate with experience. Applicants should submit their
curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of at least four references by
October 31, 2010 to:
Dr. Rebecca Sharitz
