The NSF is seeking a qualified
candidate to fill the position of Program Director in the Marine Geology and
Geophysics (MGG) Program in the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE), Directorate
for Geosciences (GEO) in Arlington, VA. The successful candidate will
manage a portfolio of research in marine geophysics, including research
relating to: the structure and tectonic evolution of the oceanic
lithosphere and its associated volcanic, magmatic, hydrothermal, and earthquake
activity; the tectonics and morphology of the seafloor and the geodynamic
processes that create it; and subseafloor fluid flow that controls the exchange
of heat and chemical species between seawater, abyssal ecosystems, and ocean
crust. The individual selected for this position will also oversee NSF-funded
marine geophysical infrastructure and data centers, coordinating with the
Division of Ocean Sciences facilities group to facilitate access to marine
seismic facilities (e.g., the Ocean Bottom Seismometer Instrument Pool and
2D/3D seismic data acquisition platforms), as the Division of Ocean Sciences
continues to implement community recommendations (e.g., the National Academy of
Sciences report Sea Change: Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences 2015-2025).
