About this position

Research opportunity at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL), located in Silver Spring, Maryland.

This fellowship focuses on improving the framework for extracting chemicals from medical device materials that are especially challenging to characterize, including silicone and other difficult materials of construction. The project is part of the Chemical Characterization program and is aimed at refining and streamlining approaches for measuring chemicals released from device materials.

The fellow will work with existing datasets and models, help design experiments to address gaps in the available data, and operate chromatography and mass spectrometry instrumentation. The work also includes contributing to scientific writing and building practical experience in extractables and leachables analysis within a regulatory science setting.

The training environment is rooted in FDA’s mission to protect and promote public health and to support safe, effective, high-quality medical devices. The mentor for the opportunity is Jacob Hill.

Funding details

Monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed subject to FDA recommendation and availability of funds.

What's required

The candidate should have received a doctoral degree in one of the relevant fields, with the degree received within the past five years or anticipated by 2026-12-31. Preferred skills include familiarity with analytical methods such as chromatography and mass spectrometry, and experience with LC-MS and GC-MS method development, optimization, and troubleshooting. The opportunity is available only to U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents, and applicants must be able to complete the required background investigation and meet the U.S. residency requirement for that investigation. All application documents must be in English or include an official English translation.

How to apply

Submit an application, transcripts, a current resume/CV, and one educational or professional recommendation through the Zintellect/ORISE application process. Make sure the recommendation is submitted, or the application will remain incomplete and unreviewed. Direct questions to [email protected] and include the reference code FDA-CDRH-2026-0032.
