You must be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. National. Foreign nationals or legal permanent residents are not eligible for consideration.
The position would serve as a Senior Health Scientist Administrator (Program Director, PD) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director (OD), Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI), Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP), will work as the Program Director for the National Primate Research Centers Program and will be located in Bethesda, MD.
Established in December 2011, ORIP's mission is to support research infrastructure through innovation. This activity is focused on extramural awards in support of research resources, including animal models for human diseases, cutting-edge scientific instrumentation, construction and modernization of research facilities, and research training opportunities for veterinary scientists. Through continued engagement with NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices and the biomedical research community, ORIP's activities empower and expand existing programs and develop new initiatives to support NIH research. The two ORIP extramural program Divisions - the Division of Comparative Medicine (DCM) and the Division of Construction and Instruments - manage approximately 450 extramural awards. DCM supports programs to develop, characterize, preserve, and improve mammalian and non-mammalian models for human disease and to develop the workforce essential for support of animal-based research and resources. DCM also supports resource activities to develop, characterize, and improve animal models for human disease and to diagnose, study, and control diseases of laboratory animals.
Relevant to the position under consideration, DCM funds a comprehensive grant portfolio of nonhuman primate (NHP)-related resources and projects that enables stages of translational research from discovery to final testing before initiation of human clinical trials. These grants fund: a) National Primate Research Centers (NPRCs); b) specialized NHP colonies, including specific pathogen free monkeys for AIDS research; and c) development of NHP-related reagents and methodologies, such as genetic maps, stem cells and transgenic animals.
A Senior Health Scientist Administrator PD provides technical leadership and scientific guidance on research infrastructure that supports basic and translational research and facilitates understanding, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. This position offers opportunities to develop and lead research infrastructure programs on the cutting-edge of research. The PD works collaboratively with Health Scientist Administrators (Program Officials) to advise on future research infrastructure directions that encourage research in critical areas, develop targeted research infrastructure programs to foster innovative and high impact research, interact with investigators in diverse scientific areas, assess progress of awarded grants and contracts, and serve as experts for the scientific community and the public.
This position has broad responsibilities in the planning, evaluation, and scientific management of the extramural programs of DCM. The PD has the continuing responsibility for adjusting the scope and content of specified DCM programs to meet the emerging needs in research areas related to comparative medicine, including research and research grants to establish and maintain special types of research animal colonies for NHPs. As part of those duties, the PD will oversee the National Primate Research Centers (NPRC) Program and other primate resource programs as assigned by the Director, DCM. The PD improves and assures the genotypic and phenotypic quality and health of research NHPs; oversees research activities related to genomics, genetics, and stem cell programs funded by DCM; as well as establishes and maintains NIH-wide and trans-government agency collaborations. The PD may also share responsibility for developing and improving training programs in laboratory animal science, comparative pathology, and comparative medicine as they pertain to NHPs.
Candidates with experience and knowledge in one or more scientific areas related to basic and/or translational research and the interactions between them are invited to apply. Of particular interest are candidates with expertise in: 1) research and knowledge of research programs in one or more scientific areas related to basic and/or translational research and the interactions between them; 2) knowledgeable in various aspects of primatology and laboratory animal science, including animal genetics, molecular biology, and other relevant areas; and 3) strength in quantitative analysis and superior oral and written communication skills.
