Environmental Health Scientist Positions
NCEE's Innovation and Emerging Challenges Division recruits candidates interested in conducting original research in environmental health issues that informs policy development at EPA. Examples of our recent work include: America's Children and the Environment, EPA's report on indicators of children's environmental health; epidemiological studies of air pollution and human health effects; a national evaluation of public health risks from ambient air toxics; and analyses of exposures to pesticides. Our work has been published in journals such as The Lancet, Environmental Health Perspectives, Risk Analysis, and Environmental Research. These positions also provide opportunities to advise senior-level EPA officials on important health and science policy issues at the Agency. We typically seek applicants who have completed or are nearing completion of a Masters or Ph.D. in toxicology, epidemiology, risk assessment or biostatistics. Environmental health scientists with several years of experience are also invited to apply. Salaries are competitive. U.S. citizenship is required. EPA is an equal opportunity employer.
