EPA Fellowship

The EPA EDSP is hiring a post-bac ORISE to assist with lab work in screening chemicals for ER and AR interactions. EPA Office/Lab and Location: A research opportunity is currently available with two EPA programs in both the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and Office of Research and Development (ORD). The selected participant will be required to conduct research in the laboratory located in Research Triangle Park, NC and travel to Washington, D.C. once a year for a debriefing. Research Project: This research project will adapt and validate the use of several high-throughput screening (HTS) assays to measure endocrine receptor function and cell proliferation endpoints. The goal is to identify a combination of HTS assays that reliably predicts estrogen and androgen bio-activity and then deploy this assay battery to test hundreds of chemicals identified by EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs. The selected participant will have a significant role in developing/optimizing methods, maintaining human cell cultures, and generating/analyzing HTT data.
