NIH Hiring Social and Behavioral Scientists for Program and Scientific Review Officers

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has openings for several scientific administration positions, and APS encourages psychological scientists to apply.

First, NIH also seeks behavioral scientists to serve as Program Officers. These individuals would identify opportunities and problem areas in their fields, provide recommendations concerning grant program directions, and consult with grantees.

NIH is also seeking behavioral scientists to serve as Scientific Review Officers. Individuals in this position would plan and execute review of grant submissions, appoint and manage review panels, and establish criteria and standards for review, among other duties.

These position solicitations close on June 7, 2018, and are open to US citizens.
