About this position
The Air Force Institute of Technology, part of the U.S. Department of Defense ecosystem at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, is offering a postdoctoral fellowship focused on industrial site auditing and risk assessment. The project places the participant in a research environment centered on industrial processes across a wide range of industry classifications, with a practical emphasis on preparation for audits and site visits at industrial sites in southern Ohio.
Under mentor guidance, the fellow will explore how to assess industrial risk and strengthen audit readiness. The work includes researching industry information to estimate risk levels, developing risk mitigation techniques, learning research methods for industrial site audits, and applying engineering management principles to build tools for auditing industrial performance and Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health risk. The fellowship also provides experience in identifying human and environmental health risks during tours of industrial facilities.
ORISE participants join a broader community of scientists and researchers, and the appointment is administered through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. The host institute, AFIT, describes itself as the Air Force’s graduate school of engineering and management and a center for defense-focused graduate and professional continuing education and research.
