Environmental Modeling Job at EPA

["Strom, Daniel J" <daniel.j.strom@pnl.gov>]

All,

This came to my attention:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
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.
