A research opportunity is currently available at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL)/Division of Biomedical Physics (DBP), in Silver Spring, MD.
The overall aim of this research project is to assess the potential of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (iPSC-CMs) in prediction of patient-specific clinical response. The selected scientist will contribute to the design and development of automation hardware and software for high-throughput, laboratory instrumentation and use statistical methods to analyze data from electrophysiological assays to measure drug-induced effects in patient-specific iPSC-CMs and correlate them with individual clinical response.
This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and the FDA. The initial appointment is full-time for twelve (12) months, but may be renewed upon recommendation of the FDA contingent on the availability of funds. The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program. The appointment is full-time at the FDA in the Silver Spring, Maryland area. Participants do not become employees of the FDA or the program administrator, and there are no fringe benefits paid.
The desired start date for this opportunity is April 1, 2016. For more information about these programs, visit http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ScienceandResearch/ResearchPrograms/ucm478355.htm
