HJF is seeking a Scientist II - Translational Animal Research to conduct dedicated research at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) within the Battlefield Shock and Organ Support (BSOS) Research Program. This will involve development and supervision of research projects, investigating the feasibility of applying a wide variety of scientific principles and concepts to potential inventions, products and problems, develops new technologies and protocols.
The BSOS Research Program is a translational military trauma research effort focused on increasing combat casualty survival during the Golden Hour and prolonged field care window. BSOS is dedicated to novel solutions for warfighter survivability and ability to return to duty after combat-related injury. The program unites military and civilian partners from academia and industry for scientifically rigorous and operationally relevant combat casualty care research, with a focus on prolonged care paradigms in large-scale combat operations — the most challenging clinical conditions imaginable. BSOS develops therapeutic, device, technique, and training solutions designed to create more time for resuscitation, chronologically or biologically. Program capabilities include extensive animal lab facilities, instrumented models of hemorrhagic shock, ischemia-reperfusion, and raised intracranial pressure using swine and non-human primate models, and clinical trial infrastructure.
The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing military medicine. We serve military, medical, academic and government clients by administering, managing and supporting preeminent scientific programs that benefit members of the armed forces and civilians alike. Since its founding in 1983, HJF has served as a vital link between the military medical community and its federal and private partners. HJF's support and administrative capabilities allow military medical researchers and clinicians to maintain their scientific focus and accomplish their research goals.
