Burn Injury Research Fellowship
U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research | Austin, TX | STIPEND PROVIDED
Participants in this research opportunity, which takes place at the University of Texas at Austin, will learn to apply stem cell technology and novel biomaterials for the treatment of severe burn injuries. The Research participant will be trained by world-class medical staff in the methods used to characterize the cell/ biomaterials constructs using biochemical, molecular and histological techniques. In addition, the participant will learn, under the guidance of principal investigators, staff scientists and clinicians, the laboratory procedures to test the cell/ biomaterials constructs in vitro. The participant will also analyze the tissue biosamples from burn injury studies related to burn injury patients using histological and molecular techniques.
Degree: Doctoral Degree received within the last 60 months or currently pursuing.

Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields Researcher
Air Force Research Laboratory | San Antonio, TX | STIPEND PROVIDED
This project is specifically interested in exploring the biological mechanisms by which directed energy exposure may alter microbial function within the body impacting warfighter performance. This research opportunity will allow the participant to gain experience in an active Department of Defense Biosafety Level 2 laboratory. The participant will help to plan, design and conduct interdisciplinary research in the fields of cellular, micro and neurobiology in which they will help to investigate the utilization of electromagnetic fields to enhance the extracellular concentrations of various neurotransmitters. Furthermore, the participant will be expected to help collect and analyze data as well as articulate their results in written and oral presentations.
Degree: Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, or Doctoral Degree received within the last 12 months or currently pursuing.

Orthopaedic Trauma Research Fellowship
Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence | San Antonio, TX | STIPEND PROVIDED
The EACE Rehabilitation Research Fellow will collaborate with the Senior Scientist for the CFI Military Performance Laboratory; a laboratory which conducts translational research to enable readiness and return Service Members to high function after extremity trauma (e.g. amputation and complex limb salvage). The participant will also learn to use analysis software which will include Matlab, Visual3D, Microsoft Office, and SPSS statistical analysis software. All of these systems are integrated and synchronized to capture kinematic and kinetic data.
Degree: Doctoral Degree received within the last 60 months or currently pursuing.

The mission of the Department of Defense (DoD) is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and protect the security of the United States. To support this mission, the DoD is the largest employer of scientists and engineers in the nation. To ensure a continued talent pool, the DoD works hard to grow the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce. The DoD’s Research Participation Programs are managed by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) under an interagency agreement between the DoD and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). With the support of the DOE interagency agreement and management from ORISE, the DoD prepares and strengthens the United States STEM workforce.
