Posted January 11, 2023
US Army Research Institute of Environmental Research (USARIEM) USARIEM, located in Natick, Massachusetts, is an internationally recognized center of excellence for Warfighter health and performance science and its applications. The Institute functions as a world-class laboratory for environmental medicine, physiology, and nutrition research. The Military Nutrition Division (MND) conducts research on nutritional issues affecting the health and mission-readiness of military personnel, and supports the US Army Surgeon General’s responsibilities as the Department of Defense’s executive agent for nutrition research.
Ongoing studies within the MND have highlighted the integrative effects of diet composition and exercise on substrate oxidation and performance. In particular, MND is seeking a BS or MS-level research technician to participate in the execution of randomized controlled trials that examine impact of nutrition, exercise, dietary supplements, and pharmacological interventions for Warfighters exposed to military operational stress. The incumbent will receive hands-on experience collecting data from exercise testing, indirect calorimetry, stable isotope methodologies, and biological samples. Additionally, the candidate will receive experience analyzing and interpreting data for presentation and publication.
Candidates should have a BS or MS degree in the nutritional sciences, exercise physiology, or a closely related field. Demonstrated proficiency with written and oral communication, and exemplary organizational skills required. Experience with collecting data related to nutrition- and exercise-based interventions with human populations preferred. The fellowship will be administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) and may be renewed for up to five years. US Citizenship and travel are required.
