The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency with a mission to find solutions to agricultural problems that affect Americans every day from field to table. ARS will deliver cutting-edge, scientific tools and innovative solutions for American farmers, producers, industry, and communities to support the nourishment and well-being of all people; sustain our nation’s agroecosystems and natural resources; and ensure the economic competitiveness and excellence of our agriculture. The vision the agency is to provide global leadership in agricultural discoveries through scientific excellence.
Research Project: The participant will perform research pertaining to USDA-ARS Project 6054-41000-107-00D entitled "Nutritional Benefits of Health-Promoting Rice and Value-Added Foods". Objectives of the project include:
Develop methods to induce phytoalexins and bioactive compounds (polyphenols and others) in rice, soybean, and sugarcane. Identify phytoalexins in plant extracts utilizing UPLC-MS (Waters QToF). Isolation of individual compounds using analytical HPLC and Preparative HPLC. Specifically, the activity of the participant will address one sub-objective of the project:
Sub-objective 1.3: Production of activated foods from rice for applications in human diets to promote good health: Develop methods for the induction of phytoalexins and bioactive compounds in rice for comparison against soybean and sugarcane. Completed, this research will result in food products enriched with bioactive compounds. In addition, individual bioactive compounds will be isolated from treated plant materials to determine biological activities of the components. Several analyses of plant extracts and foods will include: phytoalexin content, polyphenolic components, total phenolics, soluble and insoluble fiber, and starch digestibility.
Learning Objectives: The selected candidate will receive extensive training in the analysis of plant compounds using UPLC-MS and utilization of HPLC and Preparative HPLC. Additionally, they will receive training in the development of plant sprouts for induction of phytoalexins for production of foods. The participant will be involved in a research team that includes a plant physiologist and a sensory scientist. The participant will also collaborate with researchers at Tulane Medical School that will be conducting cell-based experiments on plant extracts and isolated compounds.
Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Stephen Boue (steve.boue@usda.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research, please contact the mentor(s).
Anticipated Appointment Start Date: October 2023. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.
Appointment Length: The appointment will initially be for one year but may be renewed upon recommendation of ARS and is contingent on the availability of funds.
Level of Participation: The appointment is full-time.
Participant Stipend: The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience.
Citizenship Requirements: This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR), and foreign nationals.

The Office of Research and Development at the EPA supports high-quality research to improve the scientific basis for decisions on national environmental issues and help EPA achieve its environmental goals. Research is conducted in a broad range of environmental areas by scientists in EPA laboratories and at universities across the country.
What the EPA project is about
The Center for Environmental Measurement and Modeling (CEMM) conducts research to advance the Agency's ability to measure and model contaminants in the environment, including research to provide fundamental methods and models needed to implement environmental statutes. CEMM researchers use state-of-the-art targeted and non-targeted analytical methods to generate data on the presence, concentration levels, and ecological effects of emerging priority chemical contaminants and their degradants in natural and built environments. This data is used to evaluate and prioritize chemical and nonchemical stressors based on the potential for human and ecological exposure, health impacts, and ecosystem degradation.

• Assist in the development of scientific modules that will be part of the HEM (e.g. modeling occupational exposure to chemicals, end-of-product-life exposures, etc.). This could also include developing user tools, such as a graphical user interface (GUI) for the HEM interface.
Communications-related responsibilities will include:
• Participate as a member of a multi-disciplinary research team;
• Interact with other members of the development team as well as EPA scientists;
• Document database development efforts; and
• May be asked to present work performed as a poster at a scientific conference.
Required Knowledge, Skills, Work Experience, and Education
• General understanding of quantitative techniques, basic statistics, and use of spreadsheets;
• Strong reading comprehension skills and experience logically interpreting pieces of information from a variety of data source types;
• Experience integrating partial pieces of information and applying out-of-the box thinking to determine how to use limited available data to fill data gaps; and
• Experience with any computer programming language.
Desired Knowledge, Skills, Work Experience, and Education
• Experience with databases;
• Experience applying knowledge of exposure assessment and/or computing and mathematical modeling to the assessment of chemical exposures; and
• Knowledge of organic and inorganic nomenclature.
