Research Associate II, Chemist Virginia Tech in United States

This research opportunity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia focuses on developing high-resolution screening and discovery assays for chemical threats. The project is based in the Emergency Response Branch of the Division of Laboratory Sciences within the National Center for Environmental Health, where researchers work to improve the detection and identification of toxic chemical exposures. The selected participant will contribute to analytical methods fo...

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...

This research opportunity at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota focuses on the aquatic toxicity, uptake, and partitioning of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The project examines how broad classes of PFAS behave in aquatic systems, how they accumulate in biota, and how they partition in biphasic systems such as octanol/water. Working with EPA scientists and co-mentors Will Backe and Ian Mundy, the participant will contribute to experimental design, sampling ...

This EPA fellowship at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota focuses on improving how chemical exposure is quantified and modeled in high-throughput toxicity systems. The project sits within the agency’s Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention effort and the Risk Assessment Support division, where researchers are developing new approach methodologies to generate toxicity information more rapidly and cost-effectively. The fellow will work on a research program centered on...

Postdoctoral opening in Analytical Chemistry at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. The postdoctoral scientist will join the Department of Analytical Chemistry and multiple project teams to measure organic contaminants in environmental and agricultural systems, with a strong focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food webs in the northeastern United States. The work may involve marine life, insects, agricultural crops, and cultur...
