HHS is seeking exceptional candidates for a senior position as a Program Specialist in OHRP’s Division of Compliance Oversight.

OHRP provides leadership in the protection of the rights, welfare, and wellbeing of subjects involved in research conducted or supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

You will actively support OHRP’s mission to provide leadership in the protection of the rights, welfare, and wellbeing of human subjects involved in HHS-conducted or supported research.

This position does not have an educational requirement, but suitable candidates are likely to have a background in one or more of the following fields: clinical trial management, medical or social behavioral research, public health, human research compliance, or IRB membership. Applicants must possess specialized experience that includes the following: Proficiently interpreting and applying federal laws, policies, and regulations, particularly the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations for human research protections at 45 CFR part 46. Proficiently explain orally and in writing federal regulations and policies (particularly on human research protections in biomedical and health research) including communicating accurately and effectively to a diverse audience (including scientists, legislators, and senior policymakers). Proficiently manage multiple investigations and evaluations.
