You see, we can have an impact.  Here is the revised ad, sent to me by Tony
Wolbarst:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Environmental Transport Pathway Modeling

 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is accepting applications until
August 31, 2000 to fill the position of Environmental Scientist.  The
successful applicant will join a vibrant 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.  The
salary range is $42 - 79K.
 This position, within EPA’s Center for Science and Risk Assessment in
Washington, D.C., will primarily involve 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 and publications
related to the development of local or global environmental models, but a
deep knowledge of ionizing radiation issues is not essential.  A PhD in
geophysics, atmospheric physics, hydrogeology, health physics, etc., or an
MS with exceptional model-development experience, is highly desirable.
 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 energy on
nonscientific issues, as the need arises.  In other words, the job requires
not only a very solid scientist, but also a well-rounded, people-oriented
problem-solver.
 Applicants can obtain a complete application package for this vacancy
(LV-DE50-00) by:
      - accessing the Office of Personnel Management’s web site at
www.usajobs.opm.gov ;
      - calling the Career America Connection voice mail system at  (912)

      - calling the Human Resources Job Line at  (702) 798-2418 .

  U.S. citizenship is required.  EPA is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
