   personal_statement: Projects have included sites contaminated with chlorinated
     solvents, petroleum and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, chlorobenzenes, polychlorinated
     biphenyls, and metals. Ms. Majcher managed multiple projects at a U.S. Army
     CERCLA site, in which green sampling techniques were utilized. She has served
     as the project manager and co-principal investigator for several multi-year
     projects investigating dissolved, mixed organic contamination in wetland environments
     and the migration of contaminants into indoor air. She managed and directed
     projects identifying and characterizing contaminant breakthrough to surface
     water in tidal wetlands through areas of focused discharge, and designed and
     implemented novel bioremediation options at the pilot scale.More recently, her
     private and public sector experience has been applied to coordination of several
     workshops and serving as the co-chairperson for the Actionable Science subgroup
     of the Urban Waters Partnership program in Baltimore, Maryland. Her and her
     colleagues are exploring factors of influence on long-term trends in water quality
     related to bacteria, nutrients, and chloride, addressing monitoring and remediation
     of PCBs in urban stormwater and sediment.Emily has actively served as a mentor
     in formal and informal programs since 2001 and have a particular interest in
     promoting and encouraging women in science and engineering. Most recently, she
     served as a mentor for a Chesapeake Bay Trust Conservation Corps member, where
     USGS served as the host agency for one year.PUBLICATIONSMajcher, E.H., Draft

   professional_experience:
   - Ms. Majcher has more than 15 years of experience investigating the nature and
     extent of contamination in groundwater, soil, surface water, wetland environments,
     and indoor air and in developing remedial strategies for contaminated sites.
     Her work has been primarily in the federal sector with oversight from U.S. EPA
     and various state agencies. E
