Job Openings
- HABs Program Analyst (contractor) with NOAA-NCCOS
CSS is hiring a program analyst to support the development of HAB reports to Congress and NOAA’s activities with the Interagency Working Group on the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act (IWG-HABHRCA).
Location: Silver Spring, MD
Open until filled - Mendenhall postdoctoral research fellowship on HABs (USGS)
This research will focus on interactions between environmental factors and bloom formation, development, and toxin release. We seek candidates who will integrate molecular skill sets to assess algal gene expression and related cellular physiology, particularly as they relate to toxin production, as well as metabarcoding approaches to characterize bloom communities.
Funding is available for two years, and applications are due November 1.
Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact Thea Edwards (tedwards@usgs.gov) to discuss ideas prior to submitting their application.
