BEACHNET==> Job Announcement: Research Hydrologist

[Sonia Joseph <Sonia.Joseph@noaa.gov>]

Research Hydrologist

NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory

Ann Arbor, MI

NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in Ann 
Arbor Michigan seeks an enthusiastic research scientist with experience 
in watershed modeling to examine physical-biological coupling in Great 
Lakes ecosystems. The candidate will be expected to use and further 
develop numerical models of Great Lakes hydrology and couple to other’s 
works in ecology with particular emphasis on ecosystem forecasting. The 
incumbent will manage and design projects in lumped-parameter 
hydrological watershed modeling, simulation, and forecasting in support 
of daily forecasts of hydrological variables (including lake levels) for 
all 121 Great Lakes watersheds and seven water surfaces, and daily 
simulations of climate change and/or management (watershed, lake, 
channel, and so forth) impacts on hydrology and ecology. He or she also 
will manage and design projects in distributed-parameter modeling of 
watershed water quantity and quality in support of ecological 
forecasting in the watershed and receiving lake, including the movements 
of water, sediment, nutrients, toxins, heat, and microbes, and in 
support of other forecasts of beach closings, harmful algal blooms, 
flooding, and so forth. His or her approach should involve working with 
others to couple multiple state-variable ecological models with GLERL’s 
hydrologic models of water quantity, sediment, and water quality. The 
candidate should have experience in building or working with hydrology 
models of watershed runoff as well as a facility for working with others 
in linking models. The candidate will be expected 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 engineering 
or geological hydrology, natural resources, or water resources. 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.

This is a full time permanent Federal position (GS-12) with a starting 
salary of at least $70,711. 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 August 26, 2008.

Detailed job information and application instructions can be found at: 
http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/, reference vacancy number 
OAR-GLERL-2008-0017 and 0021. Position is open to all U.S. citizens and 
Federal status applicants. Further information can be obtained from 
Doran.Maso_n@noaa.gov_. 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. Further information on NOAA 
GLERL, can be found at www.glerl.noaa.gov.
