PROGRAM MANAGER
ARCTIC NATURAL SCIENCES PROGRAM
National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA
NSF's Office of Polar Programs (OPP) seeks candidates for the
position of Program Manager in the Arctic Natural Sciences Program.
The Program Manager is responsible for long-range planning and budget
development, administering merit review process and proposal
recommendations, preparation of press releases, feature articles and
material describing advances in research supported, and coordination
and liaison with other programs in NSF, other Federal agencies and
organizations. Information about OPP and their programs may be found
at www.nsf.gov/od/opp/start.htm <http://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/start.htm.
Appointment to this position may be on a permanent basis, with a
current salary range of $80,690 to $125,747. Alternatively, the
incumbent may be assigned under Intergovernmental Personnel Act
provisions. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent professional
experience in relevant science areas (i.e., atmospheric sciences,
biological sciences, earth sciences, glaciology, oceanography) plus
six or more years of successful research (especially field programs),
research administration, and/or managerial experience.
Announcement E20030029 and E20030030, with position requirements and
application procedures, is located on the NSF Home Page at
www.nsf.gov/jobs <http://www.nsf.gov/jobs. Applicants may also obtain

NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE SYSTEM (NPOESS)
PREPARATORY PROJECT (NPP)
NRA-03-OES-01
This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) provides an opportunity for
members of the science community to participate in the NASA Science
Team for the National Polar-orbiting Environmental Satellite System
(NPOESS) Preparatory Project (NPP)
http://jointmission.gsfc.nasa.gov/. Key measurements that were
initiated with the Earth Observing System's Terra and Aqua missions
will be continued by the NPP. With an NPP launch in 2006, near the
expected end of the Terra lifetime, NPP provides a "bridge" between
the EOS Terra and Aqua missions and the NPOESS, currently with its
initial launch in 2009.
The NPP Science Team will include a number of experts familiar with
the development of algorithms to retrieve global change properties
from sensors like VIIRS, CrIS, ATMS, and OMPS. Expertise in both
sensors and algorithms is needed. The team also will incorporate
data system experts and persons concerned with assimilation of this
data into Earth system prediction models. The team size will likely
be between 10 and 20 team members, depending on the range of
activities proposed.
This NRA is open to all scientific investigators who submit proposals
that respond to the objectives of the program, and which meet the
other requirements stated in this announcement. Awards will be for
the period of 36 months, with a potential extension for up to an
additional 12 months, depending on the timing of the subsequent NRA
to be issued for research, analysis and modeling activities.
Approximately $2-3M per year is available, with individual awards
depending on the range of activities proposed and the total number of
team members selected. Participation in the program is open to all
categories of institutions, including educational, industrial,
non-profit organizations, NASA centers and other US agencies.
Because their duties will necessarily involve access to some data and
software that remain company proprietary and competition sensitive,
team members and their staff will have to sign non-disclosure
agreements with the NPOESS system contractor and their sensor
vendors. For this same reason, industrial proposers will have to
demonstrate how their activities will be isolated from their parent
institution. Due to ITAR restrictions, foreign proposals cannot be
accepted.
The complete NRA will be available electronically on the release
date, via the Internet at the Research Opportunities Web Page at
http://research.hq.nasa.gov under "Office of Earth Science (Code Y)".
A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to
Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message.
This announcement will be open from January 28, 2003 through March
31, 2003, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout this
period.
