Health Scientist Administrator/Scientific Review Officer, Center for Scientific Review/National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) at the National Institutes of Health is looking to hire multiple Scientific Review Officers (SROs) from the GS-13/14 Health Scientist Administrator announcements. The Center for Scientific Review at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the gateway for NIH grant applications and their review for scientific merit. It is also home to a community of over 240 diverse and accomplished scientists who work with the most talented investigators in this country and abroad. Scientific Review Officers play pivotal roles in ensuring that the NIH peer review process identifies the most promising research grant applications, because the most important factor in determining whether an NIH grant application is funded by NIH is how well it fares in peer review.
SROs help shape the future of biomedical and behavioral research and ensure the vitality of NIH peer review by using their scientific expertise and communication and interpersonal skills to--
· Analyze the scientific content of grant applications,
· Identify the scientists invited to serve on study sections and assign the applications each member will review,
· Organize and run peer-review meetings to assess grant applications,
· Provide applicants with a succinct written summary statement explaining how the review committee viewed the applications.
· To learn more about what it is like to work at CSR, please view this VIDEO that provides insights into the important role of a SRO and the collaboration of the entire staff supporting their work.
Requirements
Candidates must:
· Be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. National to be considered for this position. Foreign nationals or legal permanent residents are not eligible for consideration.
· Possess a MD, PhD, or doctoral equivalent in Behavioral and Biomedical or related sciences (e.g., Biochemistry, Biology, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Physiology, Social and Behavioral Sciences).
· Have a record of independent research accomplishments, documented by an outstanding publication record and administrative background.
· The position will be filled under a Title 5 GS-601-13/14 appointment. Salary is commensurate with the experience and a full package of Civil Service benefits is available, including retirement, health and life insurance, leave, and savings plan (401K equivalent).
