About this position

This FDA postdoctoral fellowship is hosted within the Center for Devices and Radiological Health at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project sits in the Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories and is focused on improving how extractables and leachables are identified in non-targeted analysis of materials used in medical devices.

The selected fellow will work on analytical method development and validation for extraction workflows, followed by sample analysis using GC-MS and LC-MS. A central part of the research is building criteria for compound identification and quantification of substances found in polymeric and other device-related materials, supporting the FDA’s regulatory science mission and medical device biocompatibility review process.

Under mentor guidance, the fellow will gain experience in E&L data processing with an emphasis on a compound-identification framework. The opportunity is set in a regulatory research environment that combines analytical chemistry, data interpretation, and public-health-focused device evaluation.

Funding details

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

What's required

Applicants should be currently pursuing or have received a doctoral degree within the past five years. Preferred experience includes sample preparation techniques such as solid phase extraction and liquid-liquid extraction, LC-MS and GC-MS, handling low- and high-resolution/accurate-mass spectrometers, using mass spectral databases and data interpretation tools, computational software such as Python, R, MATLAB, Java, or C++, quantification of small molecules and polymers, data analysis software, database generation, statistical evaluation, and knowledge of extractables studies and non-targeted analysis. Applicants should demonstrate independent research ability, the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, and excellent scientific writing and communication skills. U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and eligible foreign nationals may apply; participants must also satisfy the program's immigration and background-investigation requirements.
