Please reply to him or via the web sites listed in the announcement, not
to me. This announcement is appearing on Bioacoustics-L because the ONR
Marine Mammal Program has had, and will no doubt continue to have, a
strong marine bioacoustics component. --Dave Mellinger

Dear Recipient -
This email is to let you know that ONR is re-advertising the position
of Marine Mammal Program Manager. The closing date for the current
solicitation is May 31, 2002 (see attached information, below). While
ONR had a good response to the first call for applicants, our final
selectee decided to remain in their current position, and rather than
simply go back and re-examine applications that are now somewhat
dated, ONR decided a re-announcement of the position was warranted.
ONR has historically played an important role in the advancement of
marine mammal science. As a community of scientists with shared
interests we owe it to ourselves to play an active role in the
development of ONR programs that advance scientific knowledge relevant
to our interests. The job is tough, demanding, and probably more
'high-pressure' than many other jobs within our chosen profession.
However, the potential to have far-reaching and powerful positive
impacts on your professional community and our shared goals more than
compensates for the challenges, in my opinion. If this sounds like an
opportunity that appeals to you, I encourage you to apply.
There has been some confusion in our rather small and tight-knit
marine mammal community about the purpose of this new position at ONR.
The purpose is not to replace the current program manager (that's me).
I will be here at ONR for at least another year or more, although I
expect to move on at some time in the not-too-distant future. The new
position will also NOT be an assistant position. The new Marine
Mammal S&T program officer will be given direct management
responsibility for approximately half the programs (and funds)
currently in the ONR MM Program, and a co-equal voice in shaping the
overall program direction. The exact division of labor will be based
on the combined strengths and interests of the incumbent (that's me),
and the new program manager (that could be you). Opportunities for
additional program growth look good, and the new program officer would
have the opportunity to grow the program in new directions that you
see as important.
Why is ONR interested in having two Marine Mammal program officer
positions at ONR? My vision when I solicited the creation of this
second Marine Mammal Program Officer position at ONR, was that we
would be able to maintain experienced staffing to maintain continuity
of funding and participation in ongoing activities, but that we would
also be able to bring in, on a regular basis, new expertise and new
perspectives. In October, 2004 I will have been at ONR ten years, and
I think that is just about long enough for me to have become a little
(or maybe more than a little) out of touch with all that is exciting
and new in our field. At that time I would like to leave the program
in the hands of an experienced program leader (that could be you!),
and clear the way for a new program manager whose skills and interests
will compliment the skills and interests of the incumbent, as well as
the changing needs of ONR, the U.S. Navy, and our society in general.
The ONR Marine Mammal program is a growing program, funding
top-quality, leading-edge research in a wide range of marine mammal
science topics. Program emphasis is determined to some extent by the
interests and expertise of the program manager, but current topics of
interest include underwater acoustics, hearing and hearing-mediated
behavior, biosonar, swimming and diving behavior/physiology, immune
system function and marine mammal health, and advancement of tag
instrumentation (both telemetric and recoverable) along with other
technologies for remote sensing of marine mammal biology/ecosystem
dynamics. ONR's goals are to stimulate new, promising areas of
science that will empower the Navy and others to do their jobs more
effectively, including maintenance of a healthy ocean environment. If
you are uncertain whether your interests intersect those of ONR in
general and the Marine Mammal S&T program in particular, please don't
hesitate to contact me to talk about it.
This is an excellent opportunity for career advancement and for having
a strong impact on the growth and advancement of your chosen field of
interest. Salaries scales are comparable to, or exceed, most tenured
university senior faculty salaries. Funds and release time are
provided for personal research activities and program officers are
encouraged to continue to publish original research and play an active
role in their scientific peer community.
Please feel free to share this email and the announcement with friends
and colleagues whom you think might be interested.
Sincerely,
Bob Gisiner
