Ecologist: - A postdoctoral research project training opportunity is currently available at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD)/National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) in Durham, NC (Research Triangle Park). The postdoc will benefit by learning approaches for the evaluation, analysis and integration of evidence on the ecological effects of atmospheric pollutant exposures used in EPA’s scientific assessments. They will have the opportunity to be involved in a variety of projects that can include qualitative or quantitative analyses of study findings and data and synthesizing the findings to support highly influential science assessments. This experience will provide an understanding of how scientific evidence is used to inform EPA decision-making processes. Additionally, the research participants will collaborate with scientific staff in NCEA and potentially scientists from other EPA Labs, Centers or Offices, in evaluating evidence related to the effects of air pollution on ecosystems. They will have opportunities to conduct quantitative or qualitative analyses that contribute to EPA scientific assessments and can result in peer-reviewed publications. They may also interact with policy staff to focus these analyses to be informative for rulemaking.
