CDC/ORISE fellowship
We have an immediate need for a recent bachelor’s degree chemistry graduate to be a research fellow in our laboratory through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) Research Participation Program. The ORISE Research Participation Programs at the CDC are designed to provide a flow of scientists and engineers into the CDC to participate in current research and development activities and studies, and related technical projects. To be eligible the applicant must have received his/her bachelor’s degree in chemistry (or an appropriate science or engineering discipline) within the last three years, or must expect to complete all requirements for such a degree prior to starting the fellowship. The fellowship will be for one (1) year with the possibility of extension for up to three (3) years. The fellowship is a paid, full time position. Additional details regarding the ORISE Research Participation Program can be found here:
http://www.orau.gov/cdc/presearchFRAMESET.htm
The individual will work on one of several ongoing biomonitoring projects in the field of dietary bioactive compounds. These projects involve the development and implementation of state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS analysis methods to provide biologic measurements for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) as well as other population research studies. The biomonitoring data generated by our laboratory is used to generate critical public health information such as comprehensive reports ( www.cdc.gov/nutritionreport) and scientific publications ( www.cdc.gov/nceh/dls/micronutrient_publications.htm). Duties will range from performing routine analyses with established methods to conducting method development and validation experiments on emerging assays.
The desired candidate would be a recent graduate that excelled in analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis courses, and has demonstrated competency in an analytical chemistry laboratory environment. Experience working with scientific instrumentation is preferred. Specific experience in HPLC and/or mass spectrometry is a plus. An individual experienced in LC-MS/MS would be ideal. The individual will be working in a CLIA-accredited laboratory in which good organizational and documentation skills are essential.
Candidates should send their CVs (in Word format) to Ms. Linda Leake (lleake@cdc.gov; Subject: CDC/ORISE opportunity - Nutritional Biomarkers Branch). Only applicants given further consideration will be contacted; however, all CVs will be kept on file for future opportunities in our laboratory as well as other laboratories throughout the division.
