research participant will collaborate with an EPA team of experts who are identifying and examining chemicals to which humans and sensitive ecological species are routinely exposed. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and non-targeted analysis (NTA) methods
are currently utilized by EPA team members to identify novel environmental contaminants and rapidly screen for thousands of known (but data-poor) compounds in high-interest media such as drinking water, consumer products, and human biological samples. Large
amounts of data are produced which requires advanced processing and interpretation strategies to inform appropriate decisions and actions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The research participant will contribute to code development, application, documentation and utilization of models used by the Agency for NTA studies and learn team programming skills in the context of modern scientific functional programming approaches. Research
activities may include computer programming (Python, web scripting languages, and/or R), numerical verification of code output, cloud-based database management, creating modules for NTA experiments, model execution, Application Programming Interface (API)
development/documentation, likelihood estimation and model selection based on level of interest and skill set. The research participant will learn how to contribute to a scientific code base using a source code version control system and be exposed to statistical,
data management, and graphing techniques that are necessary to analyze algorithm output. The research participant may leverage a web programming technology stack with a cloud computing implementation to make the product of this research publicly available
as a web application. The research participant may be exposed to basic scientific hypothesis testing and inferential processes in a computational context in order to give presentations and develop manuscripts. As a result, the research participant will have
the opportunity to further develop statistical inference and scientific writing skills.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
