Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton conducts research on environmental health effects and aerospace medicine, addressing health and performance challenges faced by service members in operational military environments.
What will I be doing?
The Environmental Health Effects Laboratory at the Naval Medical Research Unit-Dayton is looking for up and coming engineers, toxicologists, chemists and researchers at all levels in their STEM education (students and post-graduates) to contribute to research projects that focus on determining the potential health effects of exposures to different environmental hazards and stressors that Service Members may encounter during military operations.
Under the guidance of a mentor, you will have the opportunity to train, learn and grow in a multi-disciplinary science environment. Opportunities include supporting designing, constructing and operating inhalation toxicology and physiological stressor exposure systems. With appropriate mentorship and benefiting from a team environment, you will be expected to increase responsibilities and independence with inhalation toxicology/exposure studies, collect and analyze data, and contribute to the writing of technical reports, abstracts and manuscripts for publication in the peer-reviewed literature. This will all occur in a real-world, deadline-driven, dynamic, military research laboratory.
Ongoing and upcoming projects involve the design, construction and operation of systems to expose rat models to various chemical toxicants (e.g., pesticides, military fuels), particulate matter (e.g., diesel exhausts, air pollution), simulated cockpit environments of tactical aircraft, and physiological or physical stressors such as fatigue, temperature and noise. Opportunities exist to collect and analyze data on respiration or other toxicology endpoints, as appropriate to your career and goals.
Why should I apply?
This internship provides the opportunity to independently utilize your skills and engage with experts in innovative ideas to move the proposed research forward. There are multiple opportunities available to engage in your applied research and evaluation interests.
Where will I be located? Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH
