BIERBAUM, PH.D., Co-Chair, World Development Report 2010, The World Bank, Dean, University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment, the talk will explore how to better help people cope with new or worsened risks drawing on the World Development Report 2010: Development and Climate Change (www.worldbank.org/wdr2010) and lessons learned from the U.S. National Assessments.
Monday, March 1, 2010
12:15 – 1:30 p.m.
Room 1207 Van Munching Hall
Light fare will be provided. The event is sponsored by the Climate Adaptation Project, University of Maryland.
Today's enormous development challenges are complicated by the reality of climate change ‐ the two are inextricably linked and together demand immediate attention. Estimates are that developing countries would bear some 75‐80% of the costs of anticipated damage caused by the changing climate. But there will also be significant impacts in wealthy countries as well. All countries will need to take action to reduce socio‐economic and ecological vulnerability as climate changes. Yet, research efforts to tackle this problem are nascent and a compendium of ‘best practices’ does not exist.
Rosina Bierbaum is the co‐director of the World Development Report 2010 on climate change. Since 2001, she has been the Dean and Professor at the School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE) at the University of Michigan. Previously, Dr. Bierbaum served for two decades in environmental science policy leadership positions in both the legislative and executive branches of government, culminating as director of the Environment Division of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, a Senate‐confirmed position. She is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She currently serves on the National Research Council’s Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate; as a trustee of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research; on the board of the Federation of American Scientists; and on the Science Advisory Council for the MacArthur Foundation, among others. Dr. Bierbaum received her B.S. in Biology and B.A. in English from Boston College, and earned her Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution at the State University of New York, Stony Brook.

Fed Event: Peace Corps Information Session at UMD, Wed., March 3d
Please join us in welcoming former Peace Corps Deputy Director (and UMD Alum) Jody Olsen to the University of Maryland on Wednesday, March 3. Dr. Olsen will speak about the Peace Corps and the importance of public service, international volunterism and why today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever.
What: Peace Corps Information Session
Where: The Language House
Multipurpose Room
College Park, Maryland 20742
When: Wednesday, March 3d from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Currently, there are 7,671 Peace Corps volunteers serving in 76 host countries around the world. A college degree is not mandatory for service. Relevant experience in areas such as education, health, business, IT, environment, and agriculture, however, is required. In 2009, Peace Corps received over 15,000 applications, an 18 percent increase over 2008. This is the largest number of applications since the agency began electronically recording applications in 1998. Since the Peace Corps inception in 1961, over 1,000 graduates from the University of Maryland have served in the Peace Corps.
Dr. Olsen served as Peace Corps Deputy Director from 2002 to 2008 and was the Acting Director of the agency from January to August 2009. Her distinguished career at the Peace Corps began as a Volunteer in Tunisia from 1966 to 1968, teaching English and developing community health programs. In 1979 and 1980, she was Peace Corps country director in Togo, a program which focused on education, health, and agriculture. Dr. Olsen has traveled to over 80 countries. She is a tireless advocate for the mission of the Peace Corps and the work of Volunteers, speaking at dozens of domestic and international events each year. She is a former president of the University of Maryland Alumni Association and remains active in alumni affairs. Dr. Olsen holds a master's degree in social work from the University of Maryland; and a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland's College of Education.
The Peace Corps provides both tangible benefits and a life-defining leadership experience. Peace Corps volunteers return from service as global citizens and receive support from the Peace Corps in the form of career services, graduate school opportunities, advantages in federal employment, readjustment allowances, and loan deferment and cancellation opportunities.
Peace Corps’ nine regional recruiting offices across the United States work to recruit and provide information and guidance to prospective Peace Corps volunteers. Peace Corps recruiters work locally throughout each region and many are responsible for specific college and university campuses. Potential applicants can connect with a local recruiter and locate their local regional recruiting office by visiting the Peace Corps website at www.peacecorps.gov.
As the Peace Corps approaches its 50th anniversary, its service legacy continues to promote peace and friendship around the world with 7,671 volunteers serving in 76 host countries. Historically, nearly 200,000 Americans have served with the Peace Corps to promote a better understanding between Americans and the people of 139 host countries. Peace Corps Volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age. Peace Corps service is a 27-month commitment.

InternTIPS: A Recap of Alumni Advice Day-Federal Service
Though the program was sponsored by The College of Chemical and Life Sciences, the overriding message of Alumni Advice Day-Federal Service was of the multi-disciplinary nature of all federal offices. In other words, their messages are applicable to all of you federal career-seekers in Federal Semester.
The presenters--a forensic scientist, an EPA toxicologist, a member of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Corps, and a Program Director in the National Cancer Institute--all gave brief backgrounds on their career trajectory and offered tips on seeking out federal employment. All were personable and showcased their human side--driving the points that:
The presenters--a forensic scientist, an EPA toxicologist, a member of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Corps, and a Program Director in the National Cancer Institute--all gave brief backgrounds on their career trajectory and offered tips on seeking out federal employment. All were personable and showcased their human side--driving the points that:
- You don’t have to have a perfect track record to earn a federal position. These are real people, who have lived their lives, exhibited foibles that are inherent in the human experience, and learned lessons. This did not preclude them from entering federal service and having successful careers.
- Public servants are not robots. As many of you have found--and communicated through your journals--federal offices aren't an intimidating 1984-like office environment overseen by the omnipotent foe of fun, Big Brother. People follow procedure and work hard, but there is room for innovation and a laugh or two throughout the day.
Please find brief panelist bios below, along with a few bits of wisdom that they passed on through the presentation:
Donna Eisenberg, Forensic Document Examiner for DHS
- Donna got into forensics before CSI and Law and Order made it cool! It was a round-about journey that began at UMD with a psychology degree, made pit-stops at various admin and legal assistant jobs and ended with a master's degree in forensics as a bridge to the government. She's worked in her field with the Secret Service and DHS.
- Her message on career paths: she didn't know exactly what she wanted to do early in life. She was patient and allowed life to take its course and direct her to a career that she has now enjoyed for about 20 years.
- Don't stress; experience as much as you can! Pursue internships like you are all doing right now! Network with other professionals through things like informational interviews. Attend panel discussions and learn about other careers and the panelists' career paths; and while there, collect business cards!
- For instance. I asked for Donna's business card on Friday. In the Sunday Post, there was a book review for a new novel that explored the world of forensic science; so on Monday, I emailed her a note, sharing the link to the story and taking the opportunity to express my gratitude for her time on Friday.
Lt. Eric Johnson, NOAA Corps Recruiter
- Eric is an officer in the NOAA Corps. NOAA Corps Officers undergo basic training in which they learn how to drive ships, fly planes and manage diving expeditions to prepare them for managing field research operations around the globe.
- In this position, he essentially supports federal atmospheric and oceanic research by managing personnel and operations on maritime projects. He was recently on a 2-year assignment on the Hi'ialakai--the biggest dive boat in the world--in the Pacific, taking a hands-on role to operationally support the Hi'ialakai's staff scientists.
- Eric's advice centered on being "persistent, but not obnoxious." He advised that applying this to the job search, if you are denied a position, you should follow up with the hiring officer for information on how you can improve your application in the future. Find out what experience you might need to develop or skills you need to hone; then pursue activities towards these highlighted professional development areas.
- This also applies to the work you all take on in your internships. Many of you noted that you were intimidated by the level of work you were assigned. Complete your work as best you can, and always follow up with your supervisor to learn how you can improve. This will enhance your capabilities and raise your standing in the office!
Dr. Betsy Read-Connole, Program Director, National Cancer Institute
- Dr. Read-Connole was involved in the isolation of the retrovirus that causes AIDS---wow. This incredibly impressive public servant advised that the best way to pursue careers in the federal government is to attend panel discussions to network and look into NIH's training programs like the Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) program and the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Research Training Award (CRTA).
- IRTA and CRTA provide opportunities for recent college graduates to spend a year engaged in biomedical research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Trainees work side-by-side with some of the leading scientists in the world in an environment devoted exclusively to biomedical research.
- Find more information at http://www.training.nih.gov/student/Pre-IRTA/irtamanualpostbac.asp
- She also advised that you never know who you'll be reintroduced to. The moral: make good impressions and never burn bridges. You never know when you'll come back into contact with former colleagues or when new employers know a former boss.
Bill Waugh, EPA Toxicologist
- Bill works with industrial chemical regulations and has developed innovative systems to work with industry to share EPA's testing methods so industry will apply EPA standards when testing new products.
- Reflecting on this, Bill noted that if you show any initiative in the federal government, you can write your own ticket, especially in science/research positions. This is a far cry from the negative stereotype of a complacent paper-pushing beaurocrat!
- Bill also told the group that 1/3 of the federal workforce will turn over in the next five years. Now is the time to get into government!
- He was also kind enough to put together and distribute a hand-out that lists the 2010 federal salary table and FAQs that go over opportunities for promotion, benefits and other general tips. Pick up your copy in the Fed Sem Office or email Joey (manfredo@umd.edu) for a pdf copy.
General Tips:
- While pursuing a federal job, realize that it can be a lengthy process. It may be wise to hold down interim employment while pursuing your federal interests.
- It's important to get a foot in the door. Your first job may not be your ideal--but it gets you into the system. Think of it as a stepping stone.
- Any policy-related job requires superb writing skills. Practice communicating in a clear, concise style. If you want ultimately to work in policy but can't get in right away, take a job in a federal office and communicate your interest in policy. There may be opportunities for you to work with your office's policy team and transition it into a full-time position.
- You could also pursue state or local government employment to build your resume and demonstrate interest in policy!
- For you go-getters, look into OPM's Federal Career Internship Program. From their Web site: "In general, individuals are appointed to a 2-year internship. Upon successful completion of the internships, the interns may be eligible for permanent placement within an agency. Individuals interested in Career Intern opportunities must contact specific agencies directly. The Office of Personnel Management will not be the central source for career intern opportunities." http://opm.gov/careerintern/
Good luck, folks!

The National Security Analysis & Intelligence Summer Seminar, a reprise of the first such program the ODNI held last summer, is planned for July 11 through July 23 in Washington, D.C.
The intensive, residential seminar will include lectures, field trips to agencies and work on substantive topics under the direction of Intelligence Community analysts, academics and other professionals. Career opportunities will be highlighted. Students who are selected and approved will receive secret-level security clearances for the duration of the seminar.
“The program’s benefits are many fold,” said Director Dennis C. Blair. “The Intelligence Community is eager to work with some of the nation’s best and brightest. In return, we hope they will benefit from an inside look at what national intelligence is all about.”
The NSAISS application will be available online in January. It is recommended that students who are interested in careers in intelligence begin to gather transcripts, two letters of recommendation and a current resume that must accompany the application. Applicants will also need to complete Standard Form 86 (SF-86)/Questionnaire for National Security Positions, which is available through the Web site of the Office of Personnel Management.
The NSAISS is open to U.S. citizens who are graduate students, and to college seniors graduating in the 2009-2010 academic year and applying to graduate school. The seminar is not open to federal government employees, contractors or currently serving military or activated reservists. Participants will receive travel expenses, room and board, course materials and a $500 stipend.
The debut effort attracted more than 700 applicants for 40 slots.

Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences at the Harvard School of Public Health
June 1, 2010 - June 30, 2010
Website for Eligibility & Requirements:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/biostats/diversity/summer/
Deadline for Application: February 15, 2010
If you like mathematics and would like to learn how quantitative methods can be applied in the study of human health, then the Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences is for you. This includes those of you who may have been thinking about Wall Street just a year ago! The Summer Program will introduce you to the power and excitement of math applications to public health, medicine, and biology, and possibly convince you that this is the career direction you've been looking for!
The Summer Program is an intensive 4-week program, during which highly qualified undergraduates receive a whirlwind introduction to the fields of biostatistics and epidemiology and to the use of quantitative methods for biological, environmental, public health, and medical research. The program also provides advice about graduate school and the application process through GRE preparation, meetings with different departments of the Harvard School of Public Health, and individualized mentoring by Harvard faculty.
Participants take non-credit introductory courses in biostatistics and Stata (a statistical program), and attend a series of afternoon topical seminars. The seminars, led by faculty members from various departments at the Harvard School of Public Health, are designed to broaden participant's understanding of the relationship of biostatistics to human health by providing a snapshot of methods developed and applied to real research projects in different fields.
Participants also gain research experience through small-group research projects directed by faculty and graduate student mentors. Students apply statistical methods to real data to address important and timely questions. For example, one group of students recently studied whether there was a relationship between body mass index and postpartum depression. Another group analyzed data from a clinical trial to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. And another research project examined the effects of arsenic exposure on proteomic profiles in Bangladesh. At the end of the program, students present their research to the group and to affiliated faculty.
Alumni of the Summer Program have earned or are enrolled in graduate degrees in many campuses over the country, including Masters or PhDs in Biostatistics and Epidemiology.
Potential applicants should have some aptitude and interest in quantitative methods and an interest in public health as a career. Prior exposure to statistics is not required. Room and board, travel, and a living stipend of approximately $1700/month is provided. Please email any questions to: biostat_diversity@hsph.harvard.edu.

Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences at the Harvard School of Public Health
June 1, 2010 - June 30, 2010
Website for Eligibility & Requirements:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/biostats/diversity/summer/
Deadline for Application: February 15, 2010
If you like mathematics and would like to learn how quantitative methods can be applied in the study of human health, then the Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences is for you. This includes those of you who may have been thinking about Wall Street just a year ago! The Summer Program will introduce you to the power and excitement of math applications to public health, medicine, and biology, and possibly convince you that this is the career direction you've been looking for!
The Summer Program is an intensive 4-week program, during which highly qualified undergraduates receive a whirlwind introduction to the fields of biostatistics and epidemiology and to the use of quantitative methods for biological, environmental, public health, and medical research. The program also provides advice about graduate school and the application process through GRE preparation, meetings with different departments of the Harvard School of Public Health, and individualized mentoring by Harvard faculty.
Participants take non-credit introductory courses in biostatistics and Stata (a statistical program), and attend a series of afternoon topical seminars. The seminars, led by faculty members from various departments at the Harvard School of Public Health, are designed to broaden participant's understanding of the relationship of biostatistics to human health by providing a snapshot of methods developed and applied to real research projects in different fields.
Participants also gain research experience through small-group research projects directed by faculty and graduate student mentors. Students apply statistical methods to real data to address important and timely questions. For example, one group of students recently studied whether there was a relationship between body mass index and postpartum depression. Another group analyzed data from a clinical trial to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. And another research project examined the effects of arsenic exposure on proteomic profiles in Bangladesh. At the end of the program, students present their research to the group and to affiliated faculty.
Alumni of the Summer Program have earned or are enrolled in graduate degrees in many campuses over the country, including Masters or PhDs in Biostatistics and Epidemiology.
Potential applicants should have some aptitude and interest in quantitative methods and an interest in public health as a career. Prior exposure to statistics is not required. Room and board, travel, and a living stipend of approximately $1700/month is provided. Please email any questions to: biostat_diversity@hsph.harvard.edu.
