SummaryThe current medical intervention for curtailing lead exposure is ineffective and there is a critical knowledge gap and need for an effective medical intervention for elevated blood lead levels. This position involves conducting experiments on field samples via laboratory analysis, including integration of data into a Geographic Information System (GIS), MRPP statistics and production of graphics. The medical research specialist must be able to operate and maintain a Spectro Inductively Coupled Spectrometer in order to create new experimental data from post Katrina soils of New Orleans. In addition, the research specialist must be knowledgeable about the current soil lead and blood lead database in order to perform experimental research in the spatial dynamics of pre-Katrina vs. post-Katrina soil lead and blood lead changes to evaluate the role that soil lead plays in changes of blood lead in New Orleans. The experiment involves filling a medical treatment gap and alternative intervention for elevated blood lead levels of children.
