The Office of Polar Programs (OPP), Directorate for Geosciences
(GEO) at the National Science Foundation, reserves several Program Director
positions to be filled by Intergovernmental
Personnel Act (IPA) assignments. These IPA positions come available
periodically, and the Arctic Sciences Section is currently looking to fill
openings. NSF Program Directors bear the primary responsibility for carrying
out the agency's overall mission to support innovative, merit-reviewed
activities in basic research and education that contribute to the nation's
technical strength, security, and welfare. To fulfill this responsibility
requires not only knowledge in the appropriate disciplines but also a
commitment to high standards, a considerable breadth of interest and
receptivity to new ideas, a strong sense of fairness, good judgment, and a high
degree of personal integrity. OPP 18-001, “Dear
Colleague Letter: Office of Polar Programs (OPP), Directorate for Geosciences
(GEO) Employment Opportunities – Program Directors (Open Until Filled)”
contains additional details about the positions and application process.
The Arctic Sciences Section seeks an IPA to serve as a Program
Director for the Arctic Natural Sciences (ANS) Program. The ANS Program
supports projects focused on processes that are important to understanding the
Arctic system, which covers a broad set of scientific disciplines, including
physics, chemistry, and biology of the atmosphere, land, and ocean. To
complement existing expertise, the program is currently seeking candidates
with a background in physical, biological, or chemical oceanography. Please
see OPP
18-001 for additional qualification criteria and
application instructions. Questions can be directed to Marc Stieglitz ([hidden email]) or Colene
Haffke ([hidden email]).
The Arctic Sciences Section also seeks an IPA to serve as a
Program Director for the Arctic Observing Network (AON) Program. The AON
Program supports field observations to detect and understand Arctic system
change and generate data intended for wider use by the scientific research
community. To assist with program management and the increasing scope of interagency
and international activities in Arctic observing across local to circumpolar
scales, the program is seeking diverse candidates with a broad background in
Arctic observing; specific disciplinary expertise is open, and early-career
investigators are encouraged to apply. Questions can be directed to Roberto
Delgado ([hidden email]).
