We asked Dr. Krystyna Szymczyk about her transition from a bioinformatic research specialist into the SRO role. “I thought I would miss the wet lab and was worried this position would be too administrative, but I was wrong. I love the role and love CSR, and I never look back. I am surrounded with people who are cheering for me to do well. I feel professionally fulfilled and respected for my knowledge and expertise; my scientific skills are valued.” From July 8-17, 2024, CSR will be actively recruiting multiple SROs with expertise from a variety of disciplines within The National Institutes of Health research portfolio – ranging from biomedical engineering to cell biology to behavioral health sciences. Select from one of the three vacancy announcements that best fits your expertise: ·     Biological Scientist Administrator (SRO) ·     Data Scientist Administrator (SRO) ·     Physical Scientist Administrator (SRO) Applying for a federal job is different than applying for an academic position.
