Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioinformatics, Nutrition, and Human Performance @ Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education -- Natick, MA (US)
Submitted by Will Woodbery; posted on Tuesday, September 28, 2021
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM), Military Nutrition Division (MND) is offering a postdoctoral fellowship at the Natick, Massachusetts, facility through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE).
RESPONSIBILITIES
As an ORISE participant, you will join a community of scientists and researchers in an effort to better understand the impact of nutrition on military personnel.
Ongoing studies within the MND are identifying relationships between the gut microbiome, physiology and metabolism, and health and performance outcomes in military personnel. These research studies seek to use nutritional approaches targeting the gut microbiome and other biological systems to improve physical, cognitive and occupational performance. If you are selected for this fellowship, you will expand this line of research by participating in studies and using computational approaches to identify effective targeted nutritional strategies for improving performance of military personnel under physical, environmental and cognitive stress.
REQUIREMENTS
Candidates should have recently received, or expect to have received by December 31, 2021, a doctoral degree in bioinformatics, microbial ecology, or a closely related field, and have some background in nutrition science, exercise physiology or a closely related field. Alternatively, candidates should have recently received, or expect to have received by December 31, 2021, a doctoral degree in nutrition science, exercise physiology or a closely related field and have a strong background in bioinformatics, microbial ecology, or a closely related field. Degree must have been received within two years of the appointment start date.
U.S. citizenship and travel are required.
Doctoral Degree received within the last 24 months or anticipated to be received by 12/31/2021 12:00:00 AM.
PREFERENCES
Highly competitive applicants will have demonstrated proficiency with written and oral communication, exemplary organizational skills, and strong analytical and computational research skills.
TERMS
Appointments are initially for one year with the option to extend the appointment for up to four additional years, contingent upon project needs and funding availability.
LOCALE
Natick, Massachusetts
COMPENSATION
You will receive a stipend to be determined by USARIEM. Stipends are typically based on a participant's academic standing, discipline, experience, and research facility location.
