Below is information on a potential post-doctoral position at USEPA's
National Center for Environmental Economics. This information can also
be found on NCEE's website (www.epa.gov/economics<http://www.epa.gov/economics>, see the "News &
Events" box.)
POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM
Now accepting applications. Application material must be received by
11/30/09.
The US EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE,
www.epa.gov/economics<http://www.epa.gov/economics>) is seeking a post-doctoral candidate interested
in the relationships between energy and environmental policy and the
economic analysis of human health and welfare outcomes. Positions are
located in Washington, DC.
NCEE conducts original research in environmental economics and
supporting and related scientific fields to inform policy development at
EPA. NCEE scientists provide information on environmental and systems
modeling to support decision-making, participate in regulatory
development activities, and develop and evaluate environmental policy
options. Often such modeling supports more rigorous and
scientifically-grounded economic analysis of benefits, co-benefits, and
costs. Examples of scientific, policy-related work performed at NCEE
include: a national evaluation of public health risks from ambient air
toxics; America's Children and the Environment, EPA's report on
indicators of children's environmental health; bioeconomic modeling for
benefits analysis; papers on particular aspects of human health risk
assessment; and a detailed course on the effects of reactive nitrogen in
the environment. NCEE staff have published their work in journals
across many disciplines, including The Lancet, Environmental Health
Perspectives, Risk Analysis, Environmental Research, Environmental
Science and Technology, and the Journal of Environmental Economics and
Management.
Excellent Federal Employee Benefits:
Salary range of $60,989- $86,927
Up to 4 years appointment duration
Paid relocation to EPA work location

Current Opportunity: Integrating Air Quality Modeling and Economic
Analysis
Application Material must be received by 11/30/09.
Brief Description of Research Project
A goal of NCEE is to advance the integration of science and policy and
economic analyses, such as the assessment of benefits, costs, and the
economic impacts of regulatory alternatives. NCEE is seeking to conduct
research into the efficiencies from multi-pollutant strategies to
address air pollution. Among other goals, the research and analysis is
designed to (1) identify cost-effective alternatives to reduce emissions
and/or ambient levels of air pollutants; (2) assess the air quality data
needs to support the evaluation of such alternatives; and (3) evaluate
how such policies may improve human health and welfare outcomes
generally and, in some cases, for specific geographic areas or
population groups. This research is needed to inform future policy
directions.
The successful candidate will work together with economists, health
scientists, modelers and others who are relating air quality modeling
and data to economic analysis. The candidate's research should address
the co-benefits of potential policy actions, and extent to which new
data and models are needed to evaluate economic and health outcomes.
Educational Requirement
PhD in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, or related field
Specialized training and/or experience preferred
Skills and expertise desired include: ability to develop conceptual
and/or mathematical descriptions of air quality and economic outcomes.
Familiarity with economic analysis concepts, ability to communicate and
publish research findings, and ability to work as part of an
interdisciplinary research team are preferred. Advanced course work in
economics and statistics would be helpful.
