We are recruiting a Scientific Review Officer (Health Science Administrator)and the job announcement is posted at the following USA Jobs link:
The announcement is posted for only 5 days, thus the deadline for submitting an application is Monday Dec 20. Although a ‘generic’ SRO job announcement is posted, we are keen on recruiting within my IRG, Biobehavioral and Behavioral Processes, which reviews grant applications involving biobehavioral and behavioral processes across the lifespan, including human and non-human animals, and both normal and disordered processes. For more information please check the following link: http://cms.csr.nih.gov/PeerReviewMeetings/CSRIRGDescriptionNew/BBBPIRG/
In brief, the Integrated Review Groups and their constituent study sections within the Center are composed mostly of members of the scientific community who are established investigators of proven competence in their respective scientific specialties. The study sections review and evaluate proposed health-related research/training projects for which grant support is requested. In this review, they apply specialized knowledge of the scientific disciplines involved in the grants reviewed by the specified IRG and determine the relative merits of each application on the basis of such considerations as the significance of the study, the anticipated results, the scientific ability and reputation of the applicant, the adequacy of the facilities and other resources, and the compliance with ethics guidelines and administrative requirements.
I am happy to answer any questions (my contact information is provided below):
