USFS Outreach Notice: LANDFIRE Program Leader

The USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS), is seeking a Natural Resource Specialist to provide broad-level leadership to guide science application and integration into the interagency LANDFIRE program and help to ensure coordination and cooperation among national efforts around strategic fire management, risk assessment, and Risk Management Assistance occurring within RMRS and across the Forest Service.

This position will be advertised under the STEM authority and will be open to the public.
