Description of Primary Responsibilities:
As principal investigator of several large research projects in the Environmental Sciences of Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, I am responsible for directing and coordinating the interdisciplinary
4
research efforts of several staff scientists, postdocs, technicians, and graduate students. Total
funding for all these research projects has ranged between $ 0.40 and 1.2 million annually.
Principal funding sources have been the Department of Energy, DoDs Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program (SERDP), the USEPA, U S Fish and Wildlife Service,
NOAA, several state agencies, the National Park Service, and the US Corps of Engineers. As an
adjunct faculty member in the Ecology and Forestry, Fisheries, and Wildlife Departments at the
University of Tennessee, To date I have served on 16 graduate student committees and
occasionally teach evening classes at the University of Tennessee on ecotoxicology and aquatic
ecology. I have also have been an adjunct faculty member at Duke University having served on
graduate student committees.
