Post-Doctoral Research Program

EPA-RTP voted one of the best places for post-docs to work! Two years running!

EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology (NCCT) seeks qualified individuals to fill positions in our post-doctoral program. The NCCT provides scientific leadership, understanding and tools related to the application of mathematical and computer models to technologies derived from computational chemistry, molecular biology and systems biology in order to improve the Agency's data reporting requirements, priority setting approaches to understanding chemical toxicity, and risk assessment approaches. The major challenge of the research program is to improve the predictive capabilities of the methods, models and measurements that constitute the input materials to the computational models.
