Current CEMM Opportunities

EPA’s Center for Environmental Measurement & Modeling (CEMM) conducts research to advance EPA’s ability to measure and model contaminants in the environment, including research to provide fundamental methods and models needed to implement environmental statutes. Specifically, CEMM characterizes the occurrence, movement, and transformation of contaminants in the natural environment through the application of measurement and modeling-based approaches. CEMM scientists develop, evaluate and apply laboratory and field-based methods and approaches for use by EPA and its state, local, and tribal partners to characterize environmental conditions in direct support of implementation of EPA programs. CEMM scientists also provide scientific expertise and leadership related to the development and application of complex computational models that provide precise and detailed predictions of the fate and transport of priority contaminants in the environment to inform the environmental policies and programs at the EPA, state, local and tribal level. The methods and models developed by CEMM are typically applied at the airshed, watershed, and ecosystem level. CEMM periodically accepts applications for post-doctoral research positions. The Center has opportunities for conducting high priority research in areas such as: atmospheric modeling; watershed/hydrological modeling; genomics; geospatial and statistical analyses; human exposure modeling; informatics; and remote sensing. CEMM post-doctoral positions will be in Divisions in one or more of the following locations: Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; Athens, Georgia; Gulf Breeze, Florida or Narragansett, Rhode Island.
