Colleagues,

Please feel free to share the following position ad liberally, as appropriate.

Job Description

The Desert Research Institute (DRI) is seeking a full-time Field Monitor/Quality Assurance Officer for the Community Environmental Monitoring Program (CEMP) program based in Las Vegas.

CEMP is a nearly four-decades long citizen-scientist program funded by the Department of Energy to facilitate a public role in monitoring for radioactivity within the air and groundwater environments of local communities that could have originated from activities conducted at the nearby Nevada National Security Site. The CEMP is a joint effort between the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Field Office and DRI. The program is administered through a collaborative effort of DRI’s three Divisions of Hydrologic Sciences, Atmospheric Sciences, and Earth and Ecosystem Sciences.  This position would reside within the Division of Hydrologic Sciences.

The primary functions of the CEMP Field Monitor/Quality Assurance Officer are to maintain functionality and calibration of field instrumentation, coordinate collection and processing of air filter and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) samples, ensure quality assurance protocols are maintained, conduct and report on relevant data analyses, and train and interface with community participants (the citizen scientists known as Community Environmental Monitors or CEMs). The CEMs participate in the collection of samples, maintenance of stations, and act as liaisons to fellow community residents and other interested stakeholders.
