The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks qualified candidates for the
position of Program Director of the Geomorphology and
Land-use Dynamics(GLD) Program in the Division of Earth
Sciences(EAR), Directorate for Geosciences(GEO). This full-time
permanent position is based in Arlington, Virginia.
Duties of the Program Director are guided by the goals of NSF's
Strategic Plan: Transform the Frontiers of Science and Engineering,
Stimulate Innovation and Address Societal Needs through Research and
Education, and Excel as a Federal Science Agency. The incumbent GLD
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 GLD 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 Geomorphology and Land-Use Dynamics Program supports innovative
research into processes that shape and modify landscapes over a variety
of length and time scales. The program encourages research that
quantitatively investigates the coupling and feedback among such
processes, their rates, and their relative roles, especially in the
contexts of variation in climatic, biologic, and tectonic influences
and in light of changes due to human impacts. In addition, the
Geomorphology and Land-Use Dynamics Program participates in the review
of proposals for related GEO Directorate research programs, NSF wide
initiatives, and collaborative research programs with other Federal
agencies.
