positions of Ecologist (GS-0408 12/13) and Biologist (GS-0401 9/11).
Research is directed toward integrating measures across levels of
biological organization to characterize effects and predict population
level responses to environmental stressors with the goal of providing
necessary tools for larger scale assessments of community and ecosystem
condition and applying knowledge to inform Agency decisions. These

•     Provides scientific leadership to the coastal assessment and
nutrient research efforts of the Gulf Ecology Division.
•     Disseminates research findings through research reports,
publications, and presentations.
•     Participates in setting research directions and implementing field
and laboratory research to support EPA’s strategic goals for water
      quality and healthy ecosystems.
•     Employs a variety of data analysis techniques, including

•     Provides scientific leadership to coastal assessment and
ecological risk assessment research efforts of the Gulf Ecology Division
•     Designs and perform laboratory experiments and field collections
necessary to support EPA’s strategic goal to protect populations and
      ecosystems.
•     Disseminates research findings through research reports,
publications, and presentations.
•     Performs statistical analyses of model input data and model
results in order to quantify uncertainties, sensitivities, and
stochastic properties of models and data.

Under DE, the vacancy announcements are open to all U.S. citizens.

Under MP, the vacancy announcements are open to all current or former
Federal employees with permanent competitive status; or individuals with
