Duties

The position would serve as a Health Scientist Administrator (Program Officer, PO) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director (OD), Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI), Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS), and will work as the Program Officer (PO) for Artificial Intelligence and Ethics in the Integrated Infrastructure and Emerging Technologies.

This position offers opportunities to support and lead cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of ethics, biomedical and behavioral research, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Meeting the needs and opportunities for AI in biomedical and behavioral research requires new awareness, practices, and solutions for integrating ethical thinking across the data and AI development lifecycle. This position has responsibility in planning, coordinating, and managing portfolios of research and community engagement activities in the area of ethical AI. The incumbent will collaborate with subject matter experts from across NIH and will be expected to represent the NIH in areas of responsibility to internal and external groups.

The Office of Data Science Strategy has primary responsibility for implementing the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science for a FAIR and modernized biomedical data ecosystem that enables researchers to seamlessly access and analyze data from across the many NIH data resources. The Integrated Infrastructure and Emerging Technologies (IIET) team coordinates with NIH Institutes and Centers to identify strategic priorities in emerging technologies such as AI/ML, often leading NIH-wide working groups and programs; and oversees ODSS investments in these areas.

Candidates with the required qualifications for the Health Science Administrator position are invited to apply. Of particular interest are candidates with expertise and understanding of biomedical data science and ethics of technology, as well as superior oral and written communication skills.
