Dear USACE Climate Preparedness and Resilience Community,
Huge news! The announcement for the position of USACE Chief Climate Scientist is now open and applications are being accepted through 15 Jun! For those of you who remember Dr. Jeff Arnold, this is the position he used to hold with USACE, but with a few key adjustments to reflect the present emphasis on and posture toward climate preparedness, both at USACE and in the Administration broadly.
USACE requires a Chief Climate Scientist to serve as the agency’s principal expert on the state of climate science, including which aspects of that field are ready to move from the domain of research into piloting and ultimately mainstreaming into USACE missions. This expert will also advise both senior leadership and project teams on technical aspects of climate science, identify and address knowledge gaps and other research needs, and interface with key academic, interagency, and international partners.
Please note that this announcement is open to all candidates - all US Citizens and Federal employees and the duty station is negotiable upon selection.
The announcement is available here – details and how to apply: Interdisciplinary
Duties
About the Position: This is a permanent position with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Institute for Water Resources (IWR), Water Resources Center (WRC) located in Alexandria, VA.
The actual duty station will be negotiated upon selection. Salary will vary depending on duty station location.
Thank you,
Will Veatch, PhD, PH
