The Biological Oceanography Program, https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/biological-oceanography-biooce within the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) in the Directorate of Geosciences (GEO) at the U.S. National Science Foundation, announces a nationwide search for a Program Director (Permanent or Rotator) with experience and expertise in any area of biological oceanography or marine ecology. The program encourages applicants from groups traditionally underrepresented in science.

The Program Director's core duties and responsibilities will be administering the merit review process, making proposal recommendations, balancing the award portfolio across the broad range of disciplines supported by the Program, supporting a diverse science community, and coordinating and working with other programs in NSF and other Federal agencies and organizations.
 
NSF Program Directors bear the primary responsibility for carrying out the agency's overall mission to support innovative science and merit-reviewed activities in basic research and education that contribute to the nation's technical strength, security, and welfare. This responsibility requires the appropriate scientific expertise and breadth of knowledge as well as a commitment to high standards, receptivity to new ideas, and a high degree of personal integrity.
