Environmental Policy Analyst, NOAA
Silver Spring, MD
ECS Federal is seeking a Environmental Policy Analyst to work in our
Silver Spring, MD office.
_Job Description:_
Management of marine fisheries falls under the jurisdiction of the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) according to the mandates of
the Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act of 2006. The agency is required
“to prevent overfishing, to rebuild overfished stocks, to insure
conservation, to facilitate long-term protection of essential fish
habitats, and to realize the full potential of the Nation’s fishery
resources.” Additionally, the agency is mandated to conserve and
recover species under its jurisdiction according to the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Finally,
the July 19, 2010 Executive Order for the Stewardship of Our Oceans,
Coasts, and Great Lakes charges NOAA and its line offices, among other
agencies, with adopting Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (Marine
Planning).
To support NMFS’ role in managing fisheries and protected resources, the
Office of Science and Technology (ST) provides science on status and
trends of managed populations and their ecosystems, including the
habitats they rely upon. The Marine Fisheries Habitat Assessment
Improvement Plan (HAIP) identifies the need for increased use of habitat
science in stock assessments, essential fish habitat (EFH), habitat
areas of particular concern (HAPC), ecosystem-based fishery management,
integrated ecosystem assessments, and Marine Planning.
Within ST, the Assessment and Monitoring Division (ST4) supports at-sea
resource surveys, stock assessments, habitat science and assessments,
protected resource science and the National Seabird Program, fisheries
observer programs, cooperative research, and the independent peer review
of NMFS’ science products and programs. The Division coordinates and
prepares annual budget formulations and annual spending plans to improve
habitat and stock assessments and modernize and expand observer programs.
The habitat science program is housed within ST and is implementing
recommendations from the recently published Marine Fisheries Habitat
Assessment Improvement Plan in collaboration with the Office of Habitat
Conservation and the NMFS science centers and regional offices.

Intern, US EPA
Washington, DC
Project #: EPA Water 2013-265
_Implementation Support for National Nonpoint Source Program _
Project Description:
A postgraduate internship project is available at the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water. This internship will be
located in the Nonpoint Source Control Branch (NSCB) of the Assessment
and Watershed Protection Division; Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and
Watersheds. The NSCB develops, coordinates, and implements Office of
Water policies, guidance, and programs to assess, prevent, and control
nonpoint source (NPS) pollution.
The primary project the intern will be engaged in is with EPA regional
contacts and state contacts to research and draft “success stories” for
the NPS website (www.epa.gov/nps/success
<http://www.epa.gov/nps/success>). This project will involve learning
about the NPS program by researching how progress in specific watersheds
comports with EPA’s measure for success as it applies to the NPS program
and to the water quality program in general. The intern will be involved
with researching how EPA is achieving goals to restore NPS-impaired
waterbodies (EPA’s WQ-10 measure of success) and reduce pollutant loads
of sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus from nonpoint sources to our
nation’s waters (EPA’s WQ-9 measure of success). As time and
opportunities permit, the intern may research how success may be
measured with regard to implementing watershed protection strategies. A
secondary project (up to 20 percent of the intern’s time) will be to
research the framework for success of the Tribal NPS program and to
document some of these successes.
Qualifications:
The applicant should have received a bachelor’s or master’s degree in
environmental or life science within five years of the desired starting
date, or completion of all requirements for the degree should be
expected prior to the starting date.
The appointment will be full-time for a one-year and may be renewed for
up to three additional years upon recommendation of EPA and subject to
availability of funds. The annual stipend will range from $42,000 to
$52,000, depending on education and experience. Additional funds will be
available to cover any project-related travel. Taxes are the
responsibility of the intern. Coverage under a medical insurance plan is
both required and the responsibility of the applicant; coverage may be
obtained through ORISE, if desired. The participant does not become an
EPA employee.
How to Apply:
The Internship Program for EPA Water is administered by the Oak Ridge
Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). /Please reference Project #
EPA Water 2013-265 when calling or writing for information./ For
