This postdoctoral fellowship is based at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) in Jefferson, Arkansas. The project sits within the FDA’s regulatory science mission and focuses on new approach methodologies (NAMs) for human-relevant safety assessment. The research examines donor variability in human respiratory toxicity responses to chemical irritants using air–liquid interface (ALI) airway epithelial cultures . The fellow will work on a project...

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, an...

About this position

The FBI Counterterrorism and Forensic Science Research Unit (CFSRU) Visiting Scientist Program offers recent graduates the chance to join an immersive STEM research environment at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. Participants work alongside CFSRU scientists on research that supports forensic science and evidence collection for law enforcement and national security.

The research portfolio spans molecular biology, genetics, analytical chemistry, geology, geophysics, statistics, and physical sciences. Projects may involve DNA method development and validation, including massively parallel sequencing, as well as chemistry-focused work on explosives, inks, document analysis, toxicology, and trace volatiles. Other areas include identifying the geographic origins of trace evidence through soil and mineral analysis, studying human identification, detecting bio-threat agents, detecting explosives and drugs, and comparing forensic materials such as fingerprints, handwriting, and firearms.

Participants are mentored by CFSRU scientists and gain hands-on experience with advanced equipment and emerging technologies. The work can include scientific literature searches, experimental planning, field tests, analytical laboratory work, instrumental data analysis, documentation of results, and preparing findings for oral and written presentation. The program also emphasizes research completeness, accuracy, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation for internal review and potential publication.

The appointment is administered through ORISE/ORAU and is based at the FBI CFSRU Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia.

Funding details

Stipend provided based on academic and professional background; one-time dislocation expense of $2,000 may be reimbursed if relocating more than 50 miles; travel allowance of $5,000 per appointment year.

What's required

Applicants must be U.S. citizens and must have completed the requirements for a bachelor's, master's, or PhD degree within the last 5 years of the appointment start date, or complete all degree requirements by the anticipated start date. Applicants with more than five years since degree completion must have relevant academic background and experience and be seeking new knowledge or experience to expand career opportunities or advance professionally. Candidates must be able to pass an extensive FBI background investigation and meet suitability criteria. Students may apply, but selected applicants must have completed their degree before the start date. A complete application requires a Zintellect profile and opportunity-specific questions, unofficial transcripts or academic records, a current resume/CV, and two academic or professional recommendations submitted through Zintellect. All documents must be in English or include official English translation, with personal identifiers removed.
