<b>Postgraduate PFAS Tech PREP Associate<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers
at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees
in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">There is growing evidence that firefighters are being exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) associated with their gear. The source of the PFAS may be from the firefighter gear (FFG) construction
materials or manufacturing process, deterioration of the FFG during service, and/or deposition on the FFG while on duty. To characterize and reduce the firefighter’s risk of being exposed to PFAS, NIST is starting new study to understand the type, prevalence,
and concentration of PFAS on the FFG, the source of PFAS, and the mechanism for PFAS release from the FFG. This study is being conducted in collaboration with staff in MML.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">This study has three main thrusts. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-pagination:none;

1:</b> Characterize PFAS associated with FFG textiles (e.g.; jacket, pants, gloves) new/unused, and after stressing. Stressing is intended to mimic typical wear-and-tear conditions while a Firefighter is on duty (e.g., elevated temperatures, abrasion, and
laundering). <o:p></o:p></p>

2:</b> Characterize PFAS found at firefighter’s common workplace environments (e.g., fire scene, fire truck, and fire station). Understanding not only what PFAS species are identified but the source of the PFAS is essential to developing strategies to reducing
Firefighter’s risk of being exposed to PFAS. <o:p></o:p></p>

3:</b> Coordinate and collaborate our research with the existing PFAS research community who are studying PFAS from AFFF, human health effects from PFAS exposure, etc.. The purpose of this is to use our data to help in the development of comprehensive strategy
to reduce/eliminate Firefighter exposure to PFAS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">This is a position that requires delivering for these thrusts but provides flexibility and independency to adjust based on the person’s interests and skills. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">The PREP researcher’s work will primarily be in a chemistry/material science research laboratory setting. The researcher will be responsible for executing and reporting out sample preparation (stressing, extraction,
