The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking a qualified candidate to fill the position of Program Director in the Hydrologic Sciences (HS) Program, within the Division of Earth Sciences’ (EAR), Directorate for Geosciences, in Alexandria, VA. The Hydrologic
 Sciences Program focuses on the fluxes of water in the environment that constitute the water cycle as well as the mass and energy transport function of the water cycle. The Program supports the study of processes from rainfall to runoff to infiltration and
 streamflow; evaporation and transpiration; the flow of water in soils and aquifers; and the transport of suspended, dissolved, and colloidal components. Studies may address physical, chemical, and biological processes that are coupled directly to water transport.
 Such research may involve fieldwork, modeling, experimentation, theoretical development, or combinations thereof. <br>
