Post Doctoral Fellow - USU MASH Program

About the Position The Postdoctoral Fellow will serve as a scientific contributor, executing research activities under the technical direction and mentorship of the Principle Investigator. The Fellow will contribute to the development of in silico physiological models of hemorrhage, integration with large-animal experimental data, and execution of independent verification and validation (IV&V) studies to evaluate emerging medical technologies. This is a highly collaborative role working across the Uniformed Services University (USU) Center for Biotechnology (4DBio³) laboratory and the Battlefield Shock and Organ Support (BSOS) Lab, supporting research at the intersection of computational modeling, translational science, and trauma care innovation. This position is 100% onsite at the Uniformed Services University Offsite 4DBio³ Laboratory in Rockville, MD. A thorough government background check will be administered. About the Program The USU Center for Biotechnology develops and applies advanced biotechnologies to enhance the readiness, health, and well‑being of America's warfighters, veterans, and families. It champions a multidisciplinary approach that unites DoD and federal researchers, clinicians, academic collaborators, and industry partners across traditional and emerging scientific fields. The Center's research spans a broad portfolio including advanced imaging, on‑demand blood products, organ‑on‑chip and micro physiological systems, wound care, traumatic brain injury diagnostics, and point‑of‑need medical devices. The Geneva Foundation serves as the nonprofit partner for 4DBio³, managing the federal grants and cooperative agreements that support the Center's research, education and training, and scholarship activities. Qualifications PhD or MD required. 1‑2 years medical research project management experience strongly desired, preferably with Department of Defense. Specialized knowledge of quantifying motion of a conformed flow‑diverting stent (FDS) against the aneurysmal vessel wall to analyze whether mechanical interactions could be detrimental to the stability of aneurysms. Experience with a biofidelic silicone phantom fabricated based on the digital subtraction angiography of patient’s blood vessel. Specialized knowledge of triboelectric charge on particles in helical gas/solids pipe flow systems and the effect of electric charge on particle‑pair relative velocity in isotropic turbulence. Experience in creating in silico and/or in vitro models of cardiovascular systems. Experience in creating hardware and software for micro‑shock tubes for study of blast overpressure. Knowledge of military system, preferred. Demonstrate competence in oral and written communication. Must be organized, attentive to detail, and possess a positive, friendly and professional demeanor. Ability to be flexible with changing priorities and available to interact with employees, clients and sponsors of all levels. Ability to exercise independent judgment in fast‑paced, high‑pressured environment with strict deadlines and to manage multiple projects. Computer skills including at least intermediate level experience with Excel and other Microsoft Office SoftwarE. Responsibilities Collaborate and assist the Principle Investigator, Co‑Investigators and research team in the performance of the research study. Contribute to the drafting and submitting of abstracts, manuscripts and reports for dissemination. Prepare progress reports on research as required. Analyze and write‑up data. Present complex information effectively to a range of audiences. Provide data management assistance. Provide project close‑out support.
