This opportunity takes place at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) in Panama City, Florida. NEDU's mission is to conduct manned, unmanned, and biomedical research; develop, test, and evaluate diving, hyperbaric, life support, and submersible systems and procedures; and ensure all diving equipment and procedures meet the safety standards and operational requirements to expand the U.S. Navy’s advantage during any undersea military operation. NEDU is equipped with the United State's largest research hyperbaric chamber complex for wet and dry hyperbaric/diving operations, a 55,000 gallon test pool, and state-of-the-art physiological research facilities.For further information, please visit https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/SUPSALV/NEDU/
Project collaborations will be in the Biomedical Research Department, providing technical expertise in the planning and execution of research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) related to physiology, mathematical modeling of physiological data, and computer programming. The program efficiently minimizes the incidence and severity of decompression sickness in U.S. Navy undersea diving and submarine operations. Specific emphasis is placed on synthesis of scientific data into guidance for undersea operations. This research contributes to or affects mission effectiveness and operational capabilities and safety of U.S. Navy diving and submarine operations.
What will I be doing?
You will receive mentoring by NEDU's Decompression Research Group who collectively have 80 years experience developing and testing new procedures for conducting undersea operations. Two projects have been identified which will be conducted during FY21 and provide opportunities to participate in both unmanned and manned research. The two projects are test and evaluation of prospective real-time decompression computers for acquisition by the U.S. Navy and the development of procedures to conduct surface decompression following constant 1.3 PO2 in HeO2 diving. In addition, you will have opportunities to conduct test protocol development, data collection, statistical analysis, decompression procedure development, and report writing will be provided. The initial appointment will be for one year of training, but may be renewed for up to three more years.
Why should I apply?
This internship provides the opportunity to independently utilize your skills and engage with experts in innovative ideas to move the proposed research forward. There are multiple opportunities available to engage in your applied research and evaluation interests.
