About this position
This research opportunity at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention focuses on improving how volatile chemicals are evaluated for inhalation hazards. The project addresses a major challenge in inhalation science: measured exposure concentration does not always match the amount of chemical delivered to or absorbed by airway cells in dynamic exposure systems.
The work brings together exposure engineering, analytical chemistry, cell biology, and computational modeling to characterize volatile chemical delivery and cellular uptake across dynamic air-liquid interface (ALI) exposure systems. The selected participant will contribute primarily to the analytical chemistry side of the project, developing and applying quantitative methods to measure volatile chemical exposure, delivery, and uptake in biological and exposure-related matrices.
Research activities may include designing sampling strategies, applying chromatography and mass spectrometry methods for unknown samples, supporting in vitro inhalation exposure studies, interpreting analytical data, maintaining laboratory records and quality documentation, and communicating results through reports, presentations, and publications. The project offers the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary EPA research environment and contribute to experimentally verified dosimetry for inhalation new approach methodologies.

What's required
The candidate should have received or be currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in chemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, biochemistry, or a closely related discipline. The degree must have been received within the past five years. Applicants with a bachelor's degree plus research experience equivalent to a master's will also be considered. Preferred qualifications include laboratory experience in analytical chemistry or a related field beyond coursework, knowledge of sample preparation, calibration curve generation, and quality control metrics, experience with analytical instrumentation such as gas chromatography and mass analyzers, proficiency with chemistry calculations, statistical skills for data analysis and comparison, familiarity with laboratory quality assurance/quality control practices, and strong written, oral, organizational, and interpersonal communication skills. U.S. citizenship is required.
