Postdoctoral Opportunities at the U.S. Army Chemical Biological Center

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are supporting two postdoctoral positions at the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center in Maryland. Both positions are open to U.S. citizens only.

• An appointment focused on in vitro models of organ toxicity will develop and optimize existing organoid systems to characterize human toxicity. While the primary focus will be on models of respiratory toxicity, development or optimization of organoid models that replicate cardiac, hepatic, vascular, and central nervous system acute toxicity will also be considered.
• An appointment focused on electrophysiological characterization of ion channel modulating substances will create, adapt, and optimize methods used in drug development for rapid toxicological assessment of chemical warfare agents and threat compounds.
