This is an exciting opportunity that will offer rewarding experiences in a dynamic program that supports science application and integration in wildland fire management for all federal fire management agencies. The WFM RD&A is a national level program with significant interagency coordination in support of national strategic goals, and mission statements for the US Forest Service and Department of Interior bureaus. The WFM RD&A ensures effective and timely communication between research and management; in addition to ongoing integration of new knowledge and processes into management. It sponsors and guides development and application of wildland scientific knowledge; decision support tools; and provides science application services to the interagency wildland fire community. The WFM RD&A also acts as a primary point of contact for communication between scientists and participating field managers, and an advisor to program administrators at local, regional, and national levels. The WFM RD&A’s mission is not original research; rather it is to identify research that shows promise for refinement into deliverable field applications.
