BACKGROUND The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) is a one-of-a-kind facility located on Fort Detrick in Frederick MD and is dedicated to defending the nation against biological threats. Its work supports DHS and National biodefense preparedness planning, response, emerging threat characterization and bioforensic analyses. It is the first national laboratory created by DHS in response to biodefense gaps identified following the Amerithrax attacks of 2001 and has been operated by the Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI) since 2006. Since its inception, NBACC and its staff have filled critical shortfalls in our scientific knowledge of biological agents needed to protect the public and defend the Nation from biological threats, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate and provided federal law enforcement with scientific data to support the investigation and attribution of biocrimes and protection of the US bioeconomy. NBACC includes two centers: the National Bioforensic Analysis Center (NBFAC), which conducts the technical analyses in support of federal law enforcement investigations, and the National Biological Threat Characterization Center (NBTCC), which conducts experiments and studies to obtain data required for a better understanding of biological vulnerabilities and hazards. Together these centers offer a unique national resource for understanding the risks posed by biological agents and emerging technologies to inform biodefense policy and response planning and the operational capability to support the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of biocrimes and bioterrorism. PRIMARY FUNCTION As part of the NBACC Aerobiology Team, the Research Associate works with an interdisciplinary team of scientists in the NBTCC to develop, manage, and analyze research projects focused on characterization of the physical, biological and/or pathogenic properties of infectious biological aerosols in order to address specific scientific questions of national significance in support of biodefense preparedness, response and recovery planning. MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS * Bachelor of Science (or equivalent) in a scientific discipline or engineering, and a minimum of 2 years of related experience, or a Master's degree. * Relevant experience related to the use of aerosol generation and sampling equipment, including air flow measurement, conditioning of air flows, sampler collection efficiency assessment, and/or particle size measurement. * Experience with statistics is also desirable. * Experience utilizing LabView, or related software/hardware, for control of laboratory equipment/processes is desirable. * Intermediate scientific proficiency in laboratory functions.
