Bethesda, United States National Institutes of Health Full time
Job Summary

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the largest institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), conducts and supports a global program of research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.

The Vaccine Immunology Program (VIP) in the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) within NIAID is soliciting applications for a senior scientist to serve as chief of VIP. The mission of VRC is to conduct research that facilitates the development of effective vaccines and biologics for diseases of public health importance, such as HIV, influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, coronavirus, and other emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. VIP research is crucial to VRC's successful advancement of biomedical products, supporting the development cycle by providing dependable and reliable immunological data for informed decision making in the discovery and development of novel vaccines and monoclonal antibodies at VRC and among collaborators.

VIP primarily conducts translational assay development and rigorous assessment of clinical trial endpoints in several infectious disease areas, including HIV, malaria, influenza, and coronaviruses. VIP is organized to provide the following services for VRC investigators and collaborators: sample management and processing, automated testing platforms, quality management and good clinical laboratory practice (GCLP) accreditation, antibody analytics, T- and B-cell clinical trial analyses, sequencing and genomics, and viral serology and neutralization.

The successful candidate will serve as chief of VIP, managing this large translational and clinical evaluation program, with responsibility for personnel and budgetary resources. The chief of VIP is a senior member of the VRC scientific team and is directly responsible for providing leadership oversight of the program. The chief of VIP directs and manages all operations and research supporting the development, implementation, optimization, and eventual deployment of immunoassays and analyses of samples from clinical vaccine trial volunteers for VRC.

They will liaise with senior scientists within VRC, other NIAID divisions, and other institutes and external collaborators to design standardized analyses for the evaluation of patient samples from first-in-human clinical trials, assessing the generation of immune responses and identifying immune correlates of protection for novel vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. In addition, the chief of VIP directs, leads, and controls all activities and output of VIP, including management and oversight of operational funds and personnel and services contracts. The successful candidate will manage a complex infrastructure supporting overarching VRC biomedical product development priorities, with responsibility for supervising assay development projects and implementing strategic planning and assessment of prospective assay requirements for vaccine discovery and design programs at VRC. The chief of VIP also manages and supervises other senior scientists who engage in the full range of vaccine discovery, early development, and testing of clinical products.

The successful candidate will have access to state-of-the-art research support at the NIH. They will be assigned independent resources, including support personnel, equipment, space, and an allocated annual budget for services, supplies, and salaries sufficient to foster success.
