He is the Program Manager for the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), located at the Hanford Site in Richland, WA, the Field Research Center (FRC) for the Natural and Accelerated Bioremediation Research (NABIR) Program, located at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Oak Ridge, TN and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL), located at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC. In addition, Mr. Bayer is responsible for phytoremediation projects funded through the Interagency Working Group on Biotechnology, he co-manages the General Plant Project (GPP) and General Purpose Equipment (GPE) funding provided to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education and he tracks Environment, Safety and Health (ES&H) issues for BER. Mr. Bayer received a B.A. in Biology from James Madison University in 1980, and an M.S. in Biology from Western Kentucky University in 1984. Prior to joining DOE, Mr. Bayer worked for Energetics, in Columbia, MD, where he worked on, or was responsible for, support service contracts to DOE and other federal and state agencies in the areas of fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, tar sands) bioprocessing and recovery, health effects of electric and magnetic fields and environmental impacts analyses. Mr. Bayer also worked at Howard University on an NSF grant conducting electron microscopy and cryomicroscopy research on structure-function relationships and molecular cell-to-cell communication through gap junctions in insect tissue.
