Human Subject Research information

What is a human subject research?

A Human Subject Research job involves conducting studies that involve people as participants to understand behavior, health, or other human-related factors. Professionals in this field design experiments, collect and analyze data, and ensure ethical guidelines are followed to protect participants' rights and well-being. These roles are common in medical, psychological, and social science research and often require compliance with regulations like IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in human subject research?

A strong background in biological sciences, research methodology, and ethics, typically supported by a relevant degree (such as psychology, biology, or public health), is essential for working in Human Subject Research. Familiarity with data management tools, statistical software, and knowledge of Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols or certifications like CITI training are commonly required. Attention to detail, excellent communication, and organizational skills help researchers interact effectively with participants and ensure regulatory compliance. These competencies are vital to safeguard participant well-being, maintain data integrity, and conduct high-quality, ethical research.

What are some common challenges faced in human subject research and how are they managed?

One of the main challenges in Human Subject Research is ensuring ethical compliance and participant safety throughout the study process. Researchers must navigate complex regulatory requirements, obtain informed consent, and maintain strict confidentiality of participant data. Managing logistics around participant recruitment, scheduling, and adherence to protocols can also be demanding. To address these challenges, research teams rely on thorough planning, regular training, clear communication, and close collaboration with Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and other oversight bodies.

Job description

Glacier Federal, LLC is a government consulting and contracting firm supporting missions throughout the world. Glacier Federal is seeking a Research Scientist to provide onsite research support to our customer Natick, Massachusetts. This position evaluates the thermal performance of Arctic and cold-weather personal protective equipment, with an emphasis on military boots, socks, footwear liners, and related materials, to improve protection against frostbite and other cold injuries.
What You'll Do
  • Develop and execute research plans evaluating cold-weather PPE and footwear using whole-body and sectional heated thermal manikins.
  • Independently operate, calibrate, troubleshoot, and maintain thermal manikins, including systems comparable to Thermetrics ANDI and sectional hand or foot manikins.
  • Analyze thermal-performance data and develop algorithms that predict footwear insulation using manikin results and material properties.
  • Conduct scientific literature reviews related to footwear, cold-weather protection, frostbite, heat transfer, and textile performance.
  • Evaluate how socks, liners, and other materials affect footwear performance and support the selection and procurement of military and commercial Arctic PPE research references.
  • Support human-subject research examining physiological responses to boot and sock systems in Arctic or simulated-Arctic environments.
  • Document research methods, activities, results, and progress in accordance with USARIEM procedures and contract requirements.
  • Collaborate with Government scientists, engineers, research personnel, and multidisciplinary laboratory teams; occasional authorized CONUS travel may be required.

What You Bring
  • Master's degree in textile science or textile engineering.
  • Extensive hands-on experience independently operating whole-body and sectional thermal manikins with minimal technical guidance.
  • Knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and the thermal performance of textiles and clothing.
  • Strong scientific documentation, data-analysis, research-planning, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Interest or experience in physiology, human science, biomedical engineering, or human-clothing interactions.
  • Experience with manikin calibration and maintenance; mathematical or thermal modeling; human-subject research; cold-weather PPE or footwear testing; environmental physiology; or military research laboratories is preferred.
  • U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 background investigation, installation access, and a Common Access Card if required.
  • Ability to work onsite Monday through Friday, including core hours of 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., and complete required Government safety, security, privacy, and laboratory training.

What We Offer
Glacier Federal, LLC offers a competitive benefits package that includes paid holidays; paid time off, including sick and vacation leave; medical, dental, and vision insurance; flexible spending accounts; short- and long-term disability coverage; company-paid life insurance; a 401(k) plan with company match and discretionary profit sharing; and tuition reimbursement.
