R -- Research Associate / Postdoctoral Fellow, Anesthesiology

The position available is for a Research Associate/Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anesthesiology at the USUHS laboratory, focusing on hemorrhagic shock and permissive hypotension in rats. The research involves studying the effects of metabolic antioxidants, complement, and oxyradicals in this context, with a particular emphasis on computer-assisted resuscitation methods. Candidates should have experience in hemorrhagic shock and expertise in computer-controlled hypotensive resuscitation, especially in small rodents. The role includes preparing rats for study by anesthetizing and surgically instrumenting them, carrying out hemorrhagic shock protocols, and collecting a range of biological samples from heart, liver, blood, and other organs for molecular and oxidative measurements. The position also requires gathering hemodynamic, electrolyte, and redox state data, followed by data analysis and presentation through spreadsheets and reports. Compensation is hourly, estimated between $17 to $24 per hour based on an anticipated workload of 1,500 to 2,000 hours annually. Applications require submission of a curriculum vitae for evaluation. The opportunity is listed as a presolicitation, set aside for small businesses, and managed by the Department of Defense’s office at USUHS, located in Bethesda, MD. Interested candidates may contact Anthony M Revenis or Dolores E May for further information.
