Washington, D.C. 20460 SOLICITATION FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS - 1995 OFFICE OF EXPLORATORY RESEARCH INTRODUCTION The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites applications for graduate fellowships in academic disciplines at the forefront of environmental science and technology: the physical, biological, and social sciences; mathematics and computer science; and engineering. These fellowships are intended to help defray costs associated with advanced environmentally-oriented study leading to the masters or doctoral degree. EPA expects to award approximately 100 new multi-year graduate fellowships in 1995. The remainder of this notice presents pertinent background information and describes the application and review process. BACKGROUND The mission of the EPA is to provide leadership in the nation's environmental science, research, education, and assessment efforts; make sound regulatory and program decisions; and carry out effective programs and policies to improve and preserve the quality of the national and global environment. Science and technology are central to virtually every aspect of environmental protection and seem certain to take on progressively greater importance during the foreseeable future. Both the public and private sectors will need a steady stream of well-trained environmental scientists and engineers if our society is to meet the environmental challenges of the future. Through its office of Research and Development, the EPA is anticipating that need by offering financial assistance for advanced study in academic disciplines relevant to its mission. ELIGIBILITY Applicants must be citizens of the United States or its territories or possessions, or lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. EPA graduate fellowships are intended for students already enrolled in a full-time graduate program at an accredited U.S. college or university. Women, minorities, and disabled students who are pursuing graduate degrees in one of the eligible fields are especially encouraged to apply. TENURE The term of a graduate fellowship is negotiated with students and ordinarily covers a period of 9 to 12 months for each fellowship year; funds for unutilized months are forfeited. Students seeking a masters degree are supported for a maximum period of two years; students seeking doctoral degrees are supported for a maximum period of three years. STIPENDS AND ALLOWANCES The Graduate Fellowship Program provides up to $34,000 per year of support. A maximum of $68,000 will be provided for masters fellows (2 years) while doctoral fellows can receive up to $102,000 in support (3 years). Individuals accepting this support may not concurrently hold other Federal scholarships, fellowships, or traineeships. The $34,000 annual support covers stipend, tuition, and expenses as follows: Stipends during l995-96 will be $17,000 for 12-month tenures and prorated monthly at a maximum of $1,417 for shorter periods. Stipends are paid directly to the Fellow. At its discretion, each fellowship institution may supplement a Fellow's stipend from institutional funds in accordance with the supplementation policy of the fellowship institution. Tuition support will be up to $12,000 per year, depending upon the policies of the fellowship institution, paid directly to the institution. An expense allowance of up to $5,000 (paid to the institution) will be provided for the direct benefit of the fellow, e.g., for health insurance, books, supplies, and travel to scientific meetings. EVALUATION AND SELECTION Each applicant will be evaluated in terms of his/her potential for successful graduate study, as evidenced by academic records, faculty recommendations, and career goals and objectives. Applicants pursuing a masters degree will be evaluated further on their outlined plan of study and/or proposed thesis research. Applicants pursuing the doctoral degree will be evaluated further on the technical merit of their plan of proposed dissertation research and its relevance to the EPA mission. Panels of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers selected by EPA will perform the reviews. In the review process, the applicants will fall into two categories: masters and doctoral. Students seeking a masters degree will compete against each other, and students seeking a doctoral degree will compete against each other. Selections of awardees will be made by EPA based on the panel evaluations, program goals, and availability of funds. The written evaluation summarizing the review panel's findings will be made available to the applicant.

Assessment of Vulnerabilities to Global Climate Change in the Southeast The purpose of this research is to evaluate climate change scenarios and the response of managed and unmanaged ecosystems in the Southeastern United States to the 2-fold increase in atmospheric CO2 projected to occur in the next fifty years. Research opportunities exist in the areas of hydrologic and water resources modeling; projection of demographic, land use, and economic patterns in the Southeast over the assessment period; and development and application of response functions of natural and manmade systems to global change pressures. In the temperate regions, impacts of climate change are likely to manifest themselves through the hydrologic cycle. Precipitation patterns, including changes in the distribution of extreme events, as well as the alteration of mean temperature are factors which must be considered when evaluating the impacts of climate change scenarios. The increase in atmospheric CO2 may effect the hydrologic cycle by altering the evapotranspiration rates of plants or alter the ecological balance due to the CO2 fertilization effects. Watershed scale hydrologic modeling provides the necessary linkage between climate change scenarios and resource response functions. In addition, the Southeast is perhaps the fastest growing and changing region of the country. Changes in land use, economic development, and population patterns will interact strongly with potential climate scenarios directly and through the hydrologic cycle. The shifts in the economy and land use patterns in the South provide opportunities for mitigating the impacts of potential climate change effects if the interaction of these processes are understood well enough to provide a basis for development planning. Effective system models are needed which incorporate the response to the climate and hydrologic variables and to the stressors of projected land use change. This research is being conducted in conjunction with interagency earth systems modeling and flux tracking programs. Research facilities include IBM PC and UNIX workstation with ARC/INFO and GRASS GIS software and access to a Cray supercomputer. ----- End forwarded message From gshaver@lupine.mbl.edu Wed Mar 1 11:06:55 1995 Received: from virginia.edu (uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU) by amazon.evsc.Virginia.EDU (4.1/1.34) id AA00538; Wed, 1 Mar 95 11:06:54 EST Received: from lternet-t3.lternet.washington.edu by uvaarpa.virginia.edu id aa01271; 1 Mar 95 11:06 EST Received: from hoh.mbl.edu by lternet.lternet.washington.edu (4.1/UW-NDC Revision: 2.4 ) id AA18733; Wed, 1 Mar 95 08:02:55 PST Received: from lupine.mbl.edu (LUPINE.MBL.EDU [128.128.173.1]) by hoh.mbl.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id LAA05816 for ; Wed, 1 Mar 1995 11:04:54 -0500 Received: from eco10.mbl.edu by lupine.mbl.edu (5.0/SMI-SVR4) id AA08748; Wed, 1 Mar 1995 11:01:14 +0500 Date: Wed, 01 Mar 1995 11:57:05 From: Gus Shaver To: pi@lternet.edu Subject: Summer Jobs at Toolik Lake Message-Id: Content-Length: 3732 Status: OR Following are two separate summer job announcements, one for REU students and one for a regular summer RA, to work at the Toolik Lake LTER site in 1995.

Boyce" Reply to: "Ecological Society of America: grants, jobs, news" To: Multiple recipients of list ECOLOG-L Subject: Volunteer Leatherback Sea Turtle Research The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) nests on two major sections of beach along a 60-mile stretch of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Tagging studies have revealed that many Costa Rican leatherbacks do not show strong nesting site fidelity. Individuals tagged in southern Costa Rica have been encountered in the northern part of the country and Panama. Because individual animals may use widely separated nesting beaches, conservation efforts need to focus on as many beaches as possible in order to adequately protect the resource; otherwise, individuals protected at one beach may be disturbed or killed when they visit another. During the 1995 leatherback nesting season, February through June, the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) will coordinate turtle studies on two stretches of beach north of Puerto Limon. The Endangered Wildlife Trust (UK) will monitor a 4-mile stretch of beach within the private Mondonguillo Nature Reserve, south of Tortuguero National Park. CCC will monitor a 20-mile stretch of beach at the northern end of the leatherback nesting range, including all of Tortuguero National Park. Research and monitoring activities will consist of daily beach surveys, tagging, collection of biometric data and determination of clutch survival. These activities will be directed by CCC Scientific Director, Dr. Jeanne A. Mortimer. The CCC seeks individuals willing to participate in the leatherback program as paying volunteers. Eight and fifteen day openings are available costing $1,470 and $1,790 respectively. Volunteers will be involved in all aspects of the leatherback project. The fee covers round-trip airfare from Miami, food, accommodations and the cost of the research project. Scientists and volunteers will be housed at the CCC's Tortuguero Biological Field Station. Tortuguero is a remote roadless area on the coast, at the edge of a wet tropical rain forest that is criss-crossed by rivers and streams. Access is by boat or plane. The field station is located adjacent to the small village of Tortuguero and the 20,000 hectare Tortuguero National Park. In addition to working with the turtles, volunteers will have the opportunity to meet people typical of a Caribbean coastal community and go on day trips organized by the field station to explore the rain forest of the National Park and other ecosystems of the northern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

The prototype programs are charged with designing, testing and implementing long-term ecological monitoring to support park planning and management. The aim of the prototype program is to develop protocols that are applicable to other NPS sites, as well as public and private reserves within each of the biogeographic associations. During the first years of the new programs, the National Biological Service (NBS) will take the lead in developing and testing monitoring protocols. NBS and NPS will establish partnerships with academic institutions, other agencies, and private groups to ensure scientific credibility and long-term consistency within each monitoring program. The four existing prototype programs are Channel Islands National Park, Denali National Preserve, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Shenandoah National Park. GREAT PLAINS PRAIRIE CLUSTER: This year a cluster of six Great Plains parks was chosen as the fifth prototype monitoring program, and will represent the Prairie and Grassland Association. This program differs from the other prototypes in two respects. First, rather than a single large park, the program will include six parks that are geographically dispersed from western Nebraska to eastern Iowa, and from southern Minnesota to southwestern Missouri. Secondly, the parks included are small, primarily historic parks. These parks contain high quality to degraded prairie and savanna remnants with a range of management histories. The monitoring program emphasizes three high priority issues: 1) external threats including urban encroachment and water quality issues; 2) prairie, glade and savanna restoration and management; and 3) biodiversity issues including endangered species management. In order to integrate monitoring results into managerial decision-making, an organizational support structure and data management system will be developed. Monitoring results will be distributed to a wide range of audiences, including all prairie parks in the Great Plains. CLUSTER PARKS: Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa; Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, Missouri; Pipestone National Monument, Minnesota; Homestead National Monument, Nebraska; Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Nebraska; Scotts Bluff National Monument, Nebraska. AREA INFORMATION: The NPS Prairie Cluster LTEM Program Office is located at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield in southwestern Missouri, about 3 miles from Republic (pop. 6,000) and 10 miles from Springfield (pop. 150,000). The area enjoys a moderate climate with extreme highs in summer of 100 degrees, and lows in winter of -5 degrees. Humidity is high all year. Services in Republic include doctor, dentist, churches, hardware, drug, and grocery stores, as well as elementary and high schools. Major shopping centers, hospitals, and 4-year colleges and universities are located in Springfield. Property is available for rent or purchase at a wide range of prices in surrounding small towns and Springfield.

Areas of expertise would include one or more of these fields: ecology, wildlife management, ornithology, environmental studies, and the like. A sine qua non is the ability to write clearly for a non-technical audience. There are no exceptions to this prerequisite. The applicant would work under my supervision on topics related to the Endangered Species Act, ecosystem management, biological diversity, hunting issues, and issues concerning the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Biological Survey. Duties will include writing short papers, attending congressional committee hearings, observing congressional debates, meeting with congressional staff, and other things. The applicant should have great common sense and people skills. An ability to use WPWindows is highly desirable. A commitment less than full-time is an option. There is no pay, unfortunately, but I can work with your university for you to obtain academic credit. Regardless of semester credits, I can assure you that most of my previous interns have found CRS an extremely educational place to work. I do my best to see that you learn a great deal in your time here. CRS is Congress' own in-house think tank and is part of the Library of Congress. We are an avowedly non-partisan agency. We answer questions from the very easy (what is the capital of Ecuador?) to the virtually impossible (what will be the effect on the deficit, if we make these changes in the Endangered Species Act?). I would be delighted to see women and members of minority groups applying. Please pass this announcement to anyone else who might be interested, or post it to other lists.

WCS now manages over 250 wildlife conservation projects in over 40 countries. In New York City WCS operates the Wildlife Conservation Park/Bronx Zoo, the Aquarium for Wildlife Conservation, and the Wildlife Centers of Central Park, Prospect Park and Queens. WCS also manages the Osborn Laboratories for Marine Science, located at the Aquarium, and the St. Catherines Island Wildlife Survival Center, a facility for studying and breeding endangered species located off the Georgia coast. WCS recently developed a new program, the Critical Ocean Wildlife Recovery initiative (COWRI), to address the problems of declining populations of marine fish and other ocean resources from overuse and mismanagement. COWRI has three program areas: research on critically affected ocean species and habitats; marine conservation policy; and, public awareness and conservation education. Initially, WCS is focusing COWRI on fisheries, highly migratory ocean giants (sharks, bluefin tuna, swordfish, and marlin), and coral reefs. This builds on WCS's long history of field-based research and conservation in the marine environment, including projects in Belize and Kenya on corals, reef management and the effects of fishing on reef ecosystems, and many projects on marine mammals particularly in Argentina and Peru related to growing conflicts with local fisheries. Concurrently, the development of a coral research facility in the Osborn Labs has expanded capabilities for basic research on corals. As an important part of the COWRI program WCS is seeking to fill a new position: Scientist, Fisheries Ecology. The successful candidate will be the program manager for fish/fisheries conservation programs within COWRI. The fisheries ecologist will be responsible for WCS's efforts to conserve fish species and fisheries, will conduct scientific research and field projects related to this work, and will be WCS's representative in collaborations with other major conservation organizations focused on aquatic/fishery issues. Requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent experience in fisheries ecology or closely related field, strong modeling background, and demonstrated interpersonal, presentation and team management skills. Salary and title commensurate with experience. Please send curriculum vitae, a summary statement of conservation, policy, and research interests, and references to: Director of Human Resources, Wildlife Conservation Society, Bronx Zoo, 185th St. and Southern Blvd., Bronx, NY 10460.
