Major Duties: Person will assist in development and implementation of database(s) to manage large datasets and will assist in statistical analysis and presentation of these data. This work will likely include the following elements: * Use appropriate relational database(s) to design and implement program for data management, simple analyses (e.g., queries and reports), graphical presentation, and input for statistical analysis. * Plan analysis approach and construct SAS programs to analyze data. Analyses range from simple regressions and non-parametric tests to logistic and ANOVA programs. In SAS will work with BASE, STAT, macros, sql procedures, and transfer of data in Windows. * Create charts using graphics applications (e.g., Excel, Microsoft Graph, Sigmaplot, etc.) to present data and results of analyses for reports, publications, and talks. Although the primary responsibility will be data management and analysis, the successful candidate will also be expected to interact with other members in the research group to achieve research goals. This will involve coordination of data entry and proofing by various members of the group, assisting or advising in database applications and analyses, and some (though limited) research opportunities. Background Required: We seek a candidate with strong experience with databases and statistical analyses. Prior experience with data management, relational databases, and statistics is essential. Preference is given to applicant with at least one year experience in these areas that include SAS programming and a familiarity with database applications. A degree including heavy emphasis on analysis/programming with background in ecology and/or biology also a positive. Location: The position is located at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) in Edgewater, Maryland. SERC is located on the Rhode River subestuary of Chesapeake Bay, about 10 miles south of Annapolis, and has a research staff of approximately 100 people. Duration: The position is for one year with possibility of renewal. Starting date as early as April 1997. Applications accepted until August, 1997. Applications: To reply, please email curriculum vitae and letter of interest to 'INVJOBS@SERC.SI.EDU'. Letters of references are not necessary at this stage and may be requested later. If it is not possible to email your resume then send c.v. and cover letter to DM JOB/Dr. Gregory M. Ruiz, Smithsonian Environmental Research Center; P.O.
