2008 Great Lakes Summer Student Fellowship Program
The Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER)*, administered by the University of Michigan*, announces the 2008 Great Lakes Summer Student Fellowship Program. The 2008 program is hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA)*, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), and Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary*, the US Geological Survey's* - Great Lakes Science Center*, and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission*.
PHYSICAL-BIOLOGICAL MODELER
NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
Ann Arbor, MI
NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) seeks an enthusiastic scientist with experience in numerical modeling to examine physical-biological coupling in Great Lakes ecosystems. The candidate will be expected to develop coupled numerical models of Great Lakes ecology and physical dynamics, with particular emphasis on ecosystem forecasting. Some xamples include episodes of hypolimnetic hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and fish production and recruitment. The approach would involve coupling multiple state-variable ecological models with 3-d hydrodynamic, hydrologic, and/or sediment dynamics models. The incumbent will be expected to develop predictive models, to collaborate with other scientists at GLERL and other federal laboratories, universities, and private industry, and to build active research programs emphasizing collaborative and inter-disciplinary approaches. It is desirable that the incumbent have a PhD in physical sciences, biological sciences, or related field; and strong quantitative skills. Excellent communication skills are required to present results in peer-reviewed publications, scientific meetings, and to submit research proposals to supplement their research programs.
This is a full time permanent Federal position (GS-12) with a starting salary of at least $68,423. Qualifications will be judged in part based on both numbers of peer reviewed publications and a track record for obtaining grants. Closing date is midnight January 7, 2008.
Detailed job information and application instructions can be found at: http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/, reference vacancy number OAR-GLERL-2008-0005. Position is open to all U.S. citizens and Federal status applicants. Further information can be obtained from Dr. Doran Mason, . In addition to making a formal application on line, please send a courtesy CV to Dr. Doran Mason either electronically or by mail to Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, 2205 Commonwealth Blvd. Ann Arbor, MI 48105.

ECOLOGICAL TOXICOLOGIST
NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
Ann Arbor, MI
NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) seeks an enthusiastic scientist with experience in environmental/ecological toxicology, chemistry, or biogeochemistry to pursue research towards understanding the impact of contaminants on Great Lakes and coastal ecosystems, and to apply this understanding to management and restoration problems. The incumbent will be expected to develop predictive models to address contaminant concerns in the Great Lakes and coastal ecosystems, to collaborate with other scientists at GLERL and outside GLERL (e.g., other federal laboratories, universities, private industry), and to build active research programs emphasizing collaborative and inter-disciplinary approaches. It is desirable that the incumbent have a PhD in environmental/ecological toxicology, chemistry, biology, biogeochemistry or related field; and strong quantitative skills. The individual will be expected to present results in peer-reviewed publications and scientific presentations and to submit research proposals to supplement their research programs.
