<p class="MsoNormal">Hello there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m reaching out because we have a rare
opportunity – the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is looking
to hire three acoustic modelers. It’s unusual for a single
federal agency to be hiring several at once; it’s also a very
niched field so we know there are few qualified applicants out
there. I am wondering if you could please share this notice
with current graduate students and post-docs (and maybe even
faculty)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know that many qualified marine
acousticians come out of the WHOI graduate program, so I think
there could be a few who would be interested! Also please note
that we did advertise this job about a month ago, but due to
federal hiring rules we were unable to see all of the
applications. We are now re-advertising under a new set of
rules so this should no longer be a problem. Anyone who may
have applied before should consider re-applying.<o:p></o:p></p>

applicant without regard to competitive rating and ranking, veterans' preference, and "rule of three" procedures. We encourage applicants who applied in August 2020 to consider reapplying under this announcement.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

big mission and a fantastic group of colleagues. The
underwater Acoustic Modelers will join BOEM’s new Center for
Marine Acoustics (CMA). When fully built,
<span style="color:#212121">the CMA will develop in-house,
customized underwater acoustic models and ecological risk
assessment frameworks for the sources we regulate (e.g.,
related to offshore energy and minerals mining). It will
target priority science gaps, drive policy development,
and improve how BOEM communicates acoustic impact risk to
all stakeholders. It will also partner with domestic and
international organizations addressing these same issues.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
