Exposure Reconstruction Scientist

Environmental and Occupational Exposures

The DoD central epidemiological resource and a global health surveillance proponent for the U.S. Armed Forces provide timely, relevant, actionable, and comprehensive health surveillance information. The mission is to promote, maintain, and enhance the health of military and military-associated populations.

Location: Washintong DC Metro

Responsabilities

Integrated Biosurveillance section is seeking an Exposure Reconstruction Scientist whose responsibilities include, but not limited to:

  • Establishing the team goals, standards, and procedures for exposure reconstruction
  • Organizing and ranking available exposure information as relevant to DoD preventive medicine
  • Identifying key data gaps in the available exposure information in existing DoD databases
  • Select methods for best approach to reconstructing exposures
  • Quantitative reconstruction approaches and implement:
    • Use of historical personal exposure data to reconstruct exposures
    • Use of current personal exposure data to reconstruct exposures
    • Use of area sampling data to reconstruct exposures
    • Use of simulated exposure scenarios to estimate historical workplace exposures
    • Use of biological monitoring data to reconstruct exposures
    • Statistical considerations in the use of quantitative reconstruction approaches
  • Semiquantitative reconstruction approaches
    • Use of exposure data matrices to reconstruct exposures
    • Use of exposure determinants to reconstruct exposures
    • Use of data extrapolation or interpolation to reconstruct exposures
    • Use of mathematical models to reconstruct exposures
  • Qualitative reconstruction approaches
    • Use of expert/professional judgment to reconstruct exposures
    • Combined approaches for exposure reconstruction
    • Combining best available data, estimates, and information
    • Use of Bayesian decision analysis for exposure reconstruction
  • Utilize an uncertainty analysis for the results of the reconstruction and validate estimates
  • Appropriately use the results of exposure reconstruction studies to:
    • Estimate dose in human health risk assessment using reconstructed exposure values
    • Provide exposure reconstruction support in epidemiology studies
    • Identify other related methodologies for dose and exposure reconstruction
    • Develop probabilistic analysis for dose reconstruction
    • Identify the role of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling in exposure and dose reconstruction

Qualifications

  • Must be able to obtain a DoD Secret security clearance. Candidates with active Security clearance preferred.
  • Graduate degree (PhD DrPH) preferred; Master’s level degree considered
  • 5 years of work experience in related field.
  • Competent in exposure science, modeling, toxicology, occupational medicine, clinical sciences, epidemiology, computer science, and environmental health.
  • Familiar with current molecular epidemiologic investigation techniques and data analysis based on these techniques (such as Bionumerics)
  • General knowledge of DoD medical research, development, and acquisition processes.
  • General knowledge of drug, vaccine, and medical device research.
  • Excellent written and verbal communications skills.
  • Team player and collaborates well with professionals.
