USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station
Asheville, North Carolina
The Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center (Center) of the
USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station is recruiting for an Ecologist
or Geographer research and development position located in Asheville, NC.
The position is targeted for the GS-12 grade level, with a salary range
of $ 67,613 to $ 87,893. This is a permanent full-time scientific position
covered by the Research Grade Evaluation Guide. A PhD is required. Application
is open to all U.S. citizens.
The Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center (EFETAC) of the
USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station is recruiting for an Ecologist
position located at Research Triangle Park, NC. The position is targeted
for the GS-14 grade level, with a salary range of $97,948 to $127,337 and
GS-15 at $115,216 to $149,782. This is a permanent full-time scientific
position covered by the Research Grade Evaluation Guide (RGEG). A PhD is
required. Application is open to all U.S. citizens.
The position
The mission of EFETAC is to generate knowledge and tools needed to anticipate
and respond to environmental threats. The National Forest Health Monitoring
Research team develops new monitoring protocols and analytical tools in
addition to performing national scale analyses and reports on healthy and
sustainability of the Nation’s forests.
The incumbent serves as the Team Leader of the National Forest Health Monitoring
(FHM) research team. As such, the incumbent is responsible for scientific
leadership and administrative oversight of the FHM program, directs advanced
ecological research studies and investigations, and provides expert advice
and direction for national and international forest health monitoring programs.
The incumbent is also responsible for ensuring that the FHM research program
and products are fully integrated within the broader mission of EFETAC
and the Southern Research Station, including delivery of program products
and services to a wide variety of public and private partners and stakeholders.
This assignment includes the identification, development, and testing of
indicators for spatial patterns that are related to ecological processes
at multiple spatial scales. This work is conducted in close cooperation
with a wide number of other experts and disciplines. The work specifically
results in indicators of landscape patterns such as forest fragmentation
and wildlife habitat suitability that can be applied to a variety of national
assessment efforts. Related efforts include the development of models to
evaluate relationships between forest patterns and the sensitivity or vulnerability
of forest health to future natural and anthropogenic disturbances and stresses.
The incumbent also contributes to work on other research problems addressed
by FHM, including: the development of new measurements and data systems
for deployment in existing plot-based monitoring networks; the integration
of data, models, and interpretive techniques to assess forest health and
conduct risk analyses at multiple scales; and contributions to national
assessments of forest health and sustainability such as those produced
by the Forest Health Monitoring Program.
Location
The Research Triangle area of North
Carolina is named for
the geographic region anchored by North
Carolina State University
in Raleigh, Duke
University in Durham,
and the University
of North Carolina in Chapel Hill
– three of the nation’s top research universities. At the center of the
region is Research
Triangle Park, the nation's
largest planned research and development community.
The Research Triangle area, which is centrally located both within North
Carolina and along the Eastern Seaboard, boasts a thriving business community,
active arts population, and quality of life that have consistently been
ranked among the best in the Country by publications that include Money,
Fortune, and Time magazines.
The Forestry Sciences Laboratory operated by the Southern Research Station
in Research Triangle Park is located at 3041 Cornwallis Road.
Economy
The three largest industries in the area are government, education, and
health care. Research Triangle Park is internationally known for thriving
high-tech industries such as information
technology, telecommunications,
medicine,
pharmaceuticals, and
computer
products. Employment is available at high-tech entrepreneurial companies,
major corporations, and a vast array of small and mid-sized companies.
Although Research Triangle Park receives most of the attention, North Carolina
State University’s Centennial
Campus also has lured
major corporate relocations and generated thousands of local jobs. Centennial
Campus is a unique technology community that blends public, academic, and
private-sector research. It is the only public-private partnership of its
kind in the U.S.
Education
The high quality of education found throughout Wake County is a primary
reason why the Triangle area is continuously heralded as one of the best
places to live in the country. The public schools here consistently outperform
school districts across the state (and nation) in end-of-course, SAT scores,
and other proficiency criteria. Money magazine ranked the Wake County Public
School System among the best 100 school systems in the nation. Almost 90
percent of Wake County public school graduates plan to pursue higher education.
The Triangle region boasts 18 colleges, universities, and community colleges,
including internationally renowned Duke University in Durham and the University
of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. North Carolina State University, located
in West Raleigh, is one of the nation’s premier research institutions
and a national leader in engineering, architecture, biotechnology, and
veterinary medicine.
Health Care
Medical facilities located in the Triangle area rank among the nation's
best, with some of the foremost medical experts and programs in the country.
The region ranks sixth in physicians per capita nationwide. Major health
care providers include WakeMed,
Rex
Healthcare, and Duke
Health Raleigh Hospital
in Wake County. Nearby Duke
University Medical Center
and UNC
Hospitals consistently
finish high on US News and World Report's list of America's best hospitals.
Cultural and Recreational
Advantages
Raleigh is known as the “Smithsonian of the South” due to its variety
of world-class museums. The museums of art,
history,
and natural
sciences, along with
Exploris
(the world’s first global experience center), offer programs and exhibits
for people of all ages. The Triangle area is home to the NC
Symphony, the Opera
Company of North Carolina,
and the Carolina
Ballet. The area has
a rich tradition of blues, jazz, gospel, and bluegrass music. The state-of-the-art
BTI
Center for the Performing Arts
and the Alltel
Pavilion at Walnut Creek
host a number of national acts.
