Management Responsibilities:

General Duties: Assistant Director for SERC as a Research Unit of the Smithsonian Institution, with primary responsibilities for programs in environmental research, professional training and public education. The annual budget is approximately $7,500,000 composed of 31% federal and 69% nonfederal funds. The staff is composed of about 190 people in summers and 115 people in winters, with approximately 38 federal employees, 65 non-federal employees, 65 participants in fellowship programs (Interns, Graduate Fellows, Post-doctoral Fellows, and Visiting Scientists), and 35 volunteers. We have “grown” the staff and physical plant, which have more than tripled in the past 14 yrs.

Major responsibilities include :

  • support Director and act on his behalf in his absence;
  • coordination of research programs;
  • oversight of professional training programs;
  • assist fund raising and public relations;
  • assist planning and coordination of facilities, development of long-range master plan and 5 yr programs for 2,900 acre site with complex array of buildings, dock, boats, vehicles, roads, waterfront, and utilities;
  • authorization and approval for purchasing, contracts, and personnel actions;
  • serve as evaluator for adverse personnel actions;
  • promote and develop cultural diversity in staffing and professional training.

Direct Supervisor for: 16 Senior Scientists/Principal Investigators; 4 Biological Technicians; 1 Fellowship Coordinator.
