See who National Institute on Aging (NIA) has hired for this role
NIA's Division of Neuroscience (DN) is accepting applications for a Health Specialist in the Clinical Interventions and Diagnostics Branch. DN offers a fast-paced, collegial work environment in support of cutting-edge research and advances in all areas related to brain aging and behavior, with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Alzheimer���s disease-related dementias (ADRD). DN plays a critical role in working across the federal government and with other partners to prioritize and implement the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease. The 2021 NIH Alzheimer's Research Summit: Path to Precision Medicine for Treatment and Prevention highlighted important opportunities and challenges for our work.
DN supports research and training to further the understanding of neural and behavioral processes associated with the aging brain. Areas of special emphasis include brain-behavior relationships and how the processes of aging and age-related cognitive decline intersect with the development of AD and other dementias of aging. An important component is the support of basic, clinical, and epidemiological studies of AD and related dementias of aging, including development of improved biomarkers and development of new therapies. The basic theme throughout the division is to understand the aging nervous system in order to foster the maintenance of health and improve the quality of life of the older population.
Role
The successful candidate will work closely with Program Officers to support research grants, cooperative agreements, and training awards in the rapidly expanding clinical trials and biomarkers portfolios. The Health Specialist will be responsible for providing support and oversight of the biomarker and therapy development portfolios. Expertise in biomarker and therapy development or clinical research is desirable.
How to Apply
Interested parties should be U.S. citizens or Nationals. Foreign nationals or legal permanent residents are not eligible for consideration. Candidates must indicate their U.S. citizenship status on their CV or within their email application submission. They should contact and send resumes to NIAJobs@mail.nih.gov.
DHHS, NIH, and NIA are Equal Opportunity Employers.
NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs and encourages the application and nomination of qualified women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities.
