Micro Motion Jobs in Washington (NOW HIRING)

About the Position
The Postdoctoral Fellow I will serve as a scientific contributor, executing research activities under the technical direction and mentorship of the Principal Investigator. The Postdoctoral Fellow I 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 (4DBio) 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 4DBio 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 4DBio, managing the federal grants and cooperative agreements that support the Center's research, education and training, and scholarship activities.
