Physical Scientist (Program Manager) at NCCOS


The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) seeks to hire one full-time employee using direct hiring authority to serve as a program manager in the Competitive Research Program (CRP).

CRP is the external funding arm of NCCOS, and executes regional-scale and targeted research through a competitive, peer-reviewed process to address our Nation’s most pressing issues that include harmful algal blooms (HABs), hypoxia, coastal resiliency, sea-level rise, ocean acidification, mesophotic coral ecosystems, and effective ecosystem-based management.

NCCOS anticipates that one position will be hired by November 2022, though the start date is
negotiable. The duty station will be in Silver Spring, MD or Charleston, SC. Applicants must qualify for direct hiring authority and should specify which hiring authority they qualify under.

Applicants should send a cover letter and resume to David.Kidwell@noaa.gov.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
