About this position
This EPA fellowship at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota focuses on improving how chemical exposure is quantified and modeled in high-throughput toxicity systems. The project sits within the agency’s Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention effort and the Risk Assessment Support division, where researchers are developing new approach methodologies to generate toxicity information more rapidly and cost-effectively.
The fellow will work on a research program centered on chemical partitioning, volatility, transformations, and fate in 96-well plate toxicity assays used with small aquatic organisms and aquatic test systems. The core challenge is that measured exposure concentrations can differ substantially from nominal concentrations, so the research aims to anchor testing to analytical measurements in test wells and develop computational tools that better predict behavior from physicochemical properties and chemical structure.
Depending on project needs and the fellow’s interests, work may include analytical chemistry for organic contaminants in water, chromatographic and mass spectrometric measurements, development of exposure strategies for difficult chemicals, extraction methods for environmental and biological matrices, quality assurance and quality control, predictive modeling, and analysis of large high-content datasets. The opportunity also includes work with aquatic organisms, laboratory automation systems, and associated software platforms.
The research environment is explicitly transdisciplinary and collaborative, with opportunities to contribute to original research, scientific meetings, and peer-reviewed publications. The mentor for the fellowship is Heather Brown at EPA.

What's required
Applicant must be currently pursuing (within 4 months of completion) or have received a bachelor's or master's degree within the last 5 years in a relevant field such as chemistry or a related sub-discipline (analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, computational chemistry, physical chemistry, etc.). A bachelor's degree applicant must also have research experience equivalent to a master's degree in one of the relevant fields. Only U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents are eligible. All documents must be in English or include an official English translation. Completion of a successful background investigation is required for onboarding at EPA.
