> Individuals will<br>
> be considered who have a scientific background relevant to<br>
> geoscience, including geochemistry and geophysics broadly<br>
> defined. The individual selected will be expected to build on<br>
> their current expertise by acquiring the requisite knowledge<br>
> needed to manage the Geosciences Program’s portfolio of projects at<br>
> Universities and DOE National Laboratories.<br>
><br>
> This research area develops scientific<br>
> principles enabling improved understanding of the<br>
> fundamental basis of geological processes and their rates.<br>
> Technological applications of geoscience at DOE are<br>
> investigated by the applied energy and environmental<br>
> programs across the agency, thus the focus of the basic<br>
> research activity will be on core science challenges that<br>
> have the potential to provide help to multiple mission<br>
> areas. Research areas include, among others, analytical<br>
> geochemistry, experimental and theoretical geochemistry,<br>
> rock physics and fluid flow physics, hydrology, geophysical<br>
> imaging of rock and fluid properties, and computational<br>
> realizations of critical geochemical and geophysical<br>
> relationships.<br>
