Description
Background:
NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, MI has
an opening for a National Research Council (NRC) postdoctoral scientist in
aquatic toxicology or risk assessment with a special emphasis in one of
the following areas:
1) investigation of the utility of contaminant body-residue as the dose
metric for pulsed exposures in aquatic toxicity
2) investigation of the impact of mixtures on the utility of body-residue
as the dose metric for aquatic toxicity studies.
Duties:
Candidates will develop a research proposal in collaboration with a GLERL
scientist based on the above areas. Proposals involving experimental
investigations or mathematical modeling and risk assessment are encouraged.
Applicants for the postdoctoral research associate position should have a
recent Ph.D. in aquatic toxicology, environmental risk assessment or related
field.
The NRC appointment is for 1 year with a second year extension
funded by GLERL, assuming satisfactory performance. There is also a provision for
applications from a senior research associate (Ph.D. for more than 5 years);
this appointment is for 1 year.
Proposals are to be submitted for the February review to the NRC.
Information on the application procedure can be obtained from the NRC web site:
http://www4.nationalacademies.org/pga/rap.nsf
or by email to rap@nas.edu. Refer to opportunity 26.65.01.B0644 on
Assessment of Sediment-Associated Pollutant Exposure for Great Lakes Invertebrates, under
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration program.
