Postdoctoral Fellow

The Geneva Foundation

5d • $75,000 - $85,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Post-Doctoral Fellow I provides assistance to the Principal Investigator, Co-Investigators, and Research Staff. S/he ensures enrollment numbers are successfully met, when applicable, and protocol adherence, monitoring visits, overseeing regulatory and administrative details, data management assistance and project close-out support is provided. This study is examining the effects of repeated low-level blast exposure on sleep in a training environment. This is a hybrid position assigned to the Methods of Entry School in Quantico, VA. A thorough government background check will be required. This role offers flexibility to work remotely 1-2 days. As we continue to understand the effects of repeated low-level blast exposure (rLLBE) on neurological health, our understanding of the impact of this exposure on one key biological function is missing: sleep. Join the SWORD Lab in a field study to characterize sleep post-rLLBE in a schoolhouse that teaches breaching methods.
