Master’s Opportunities in Biology in United States

This research opportunity is based in the Office of Immunology and Inflammation , Office of New Drugs , Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project focuses on the statistical evaluation of TD50 and benchmark dose approaches for deriving acceptable intakes of carcinogenic impurities. The appointed participant will use simulation studies to examine how these approaches perform and to help build a stronger statistical basi...

This EPA fellowship is based at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The project is centered on improving how toxicity of environmental contaminants is assessed for aquatic organisms using alternative testing approaches and high-throughput methods. The research focuses on generating and interpreting toxicity information for small aquatic organisms such as embry...

This research fellowship at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration , Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), is based in Silver Spring, Maryland and focuses on statistical methods for New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) . The project sits at the intersection of statistical science, in vitro pharmacology, and regulatory decision-making, with direct relevance to FDA’s work on drug safety and evaluation. The fellow will contribute to interrelated research projects developing and assessing stat...

This fellowship is centered on respiratory virus surveillance and public health data science within the Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division (CORVD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. The project focuses on the Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) , a multisite, population-based surveillance platform that tracks laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations linked to influenza, COVID-19, and RSV among children and adults in the ...

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 ...

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) offers a research opportunity in advanced engineering and physical science applications for coastal environments. CHL brings together a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and support personnel working in internationally known facilities focused on coastal, estuarine, riverine, and watershed systems. The project centers on solving complex water-resource and navigation challenges across hy...

This internship is hosted by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD), the Department of Defense’s lead laboratory for medical chemical defense research, within the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command. The project centers on in-vivo neuroscience research , giving the intern a chance to study the nervous system in living organisms and observe brain activity, behavior, and physiological processes in an intact, functioning brain. The selected intern wil...

California State University, San Bernardino is launching a new Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program for Fall 2027. The program is designed to prepare students for leadership and professional careers across public health practice, research, and service. Students may choose between two specialized concentrations. Environmental Health Sciences focuses on investigating environmental health hazards, analyzing health risks, and designing evidence-based interventions. Applied Biostatistics and ...

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) is offering a research opportunity in Silver Spring, Maryland focused on assessment of Bayesian statistical methods applied in regulatory contexts . The project sits within FDA’s regulatory science environment and is tied to the agency’s mission to support safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices through science-based decision-making. The participant will work on a multi-part research effort centered on how B...
