The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks qualified candidates for the
position of Program Director of the Hydrologic Sciences (HS) Program in
the Division of Earth Sciences(EAR), Directorate for Geosciences(GEO).
This position is being announced as both a full-time permanent position
or a temporary position and is based in Arlington, Virginia.
Duties of the Program Director are guided by the goals of NSF’s
Strategic Plan: (1) Transform the Frontiers of Science and Engineering,
(2) Stimulate Innovation and Address Societal Needs through Research and
Education, and (3) Excel as a Federal Science Agency. The incumbent HS
Program Director will be knowledgeable in the scientific areas covered
by the program and will help identify emerging opportunities in the
Geosciences. In addition, the incumbent will be required to undertake
the design, development, analysis, documentation, management and
implementation of programs and activities within the program and across
disciplinary boundaries. The responsibilities of the HS Program Director
will include long-range planning for the areas of science represented by
the program; administration of the merit review process and proposal
recommendations; preparation of press releases, feature articles and
material describing advances in the research supported; and coordination
with other NSF programs as well as those at other Federal agencies and
organizations.
The HS Program focuses on the fluxes of water in the environment that
constitute the water cycle as well as the mass and energy transport
function of the water cycle. The HS Program supports innovative research
on processes from rainfall to runoff to infiltration and streamflow;
evaporation and transpiration; the flow of water in soils and aquifers;
and the transport of suspended, dissolved, and colloidal components. The
HS Program retains a strong focus on linking fluxes of water and the
components carried by water across boundaries between various
interacting facets of the terrestrial system and the mechanisms by which
these fluxes co-organize over a variety of timescales and/or alter
fundamentals of water cycle interactions within the terrestrial system.
The Program is also interested in how water interacts with the landscape
and the ecosystem as well as how the water cycle and its coupled
processes are altered by land use and climate. Furthermore, the HS
Program participates in the review of proposals for related GEO
Directorate research programs, NSF wide initiatives, and collaborative
research programs with other Federal agencies.
Application deadline: 31 May 2016.
