Scientific and Clinical Director, Division of Intramural Research
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) seeks an accomplished, innovative neuroscientist and clinician to fill three pivotal roles: as Scientific Director and Clinical Director of its Intramural Research Program (IRP) and as Senior Investigator responsible for developing a new research program in mind-body medicine. This individual will report to the NCCAM Director and will be a member of the NCCAM leadership.
As Scientific Director, you will articulate and implement a vision and oversee research infrastructure for highly unified and mutually supportive laboratory and clinical programs in the conduct of bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench research related to CAM therapies.
As Clinical Director, you will chart a course and allocate resources for clinical research; recruit and oversee the activities of clinical staff and fellows; ensure appropriate design and conduct of clinical research protocols; and facilitate the integration of CAM practices into the training programs and delivery of care throughout the NIH Clinical Center.
As Senior Investigator, you will have substantial committed resources to create a cutting-edge program of clinically oriented laboratory research and clinical studies that exploit neuroscience disciplines to define the nature, mechanisms of action, safety, and efficacy of diverse CAM modalities that affect actions and interactions linking mind, body, and behavior.
This exceptional opportunity is available to a U.S. citizen, resident alien, or nonresident alien with valid employment authorization who is an accomplished neuroscientist with a U.S. medical license; a demonstrated record of senior-level management of a large, nationally recognized research program; a commitment to both basic and clinical research; and leadership skills that equip him/her to forge team efforts with colleagues within intramural programs across NIH.
Salary and benefits are commensurate with experience. Qualified individuals are encouraged to email their CV, bibliography, list of three references, and cover letter outlining their relevant experience and vision for leading the NCCAM IRP to:
