Environmental Transport Pathway Modeling

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., is seeking a
PhD- or MS-level scientist to join an active group of 7 PhD- and 3 MS-level
physicists, health physicists, environmental scientists, radiobiologists,
and statisticians, who provide the Agency with scientific/technical support
on matters dealing with exposure to and risks from ionizing radiation.

This position, within EPA's Center for Science and Risk Assessment, involves
the development of environmental pathway models for computing radiation
doses and risks to individuals and populations from near or distant releases
of radioactivity. Such modeling is used in setting release limits for active
facilities and clean-up levels for sites being decommissioned, in assessing
the capabilities of repositories to contain waste, in responding to
emergencies, etc. The applicant must have considerable hands-on experience
in some field of local or global environmental modeling, but knowledge of
ionizing radiation issues is not essential.

The applicant should possess well-honed communications and social skills for
effective interactions with policy analysts, lawyers, economists, etc., and
the public. Also necessary is the flexibility to focus full energy on
nonscientific issues, as the need arises. In other words, the job requires
not only a solid scientist, but also a well-rounded, people-oriented
problem-solver. 

EPA is an equal opportunity employer. The salary range is $42 - 79K. Please
