Program Officer Position Openings in the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior (DNB) at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, NIH

 

Program Officer Opening in Chemistry:

NIDA’s Division of Neuroscience and Behavior is recruiting for a Program Officer position within the Chemistry Pharmacology Physiology (CPP) Branch. The Program Officer is expected to develop and oversee a grant portfolio in the rapidly growing field of chemistry and pharmacology of drugs of abuse. The Branch supports all research related to the chemistry and pharmacology of drugs of abuse including the structural dynamics of receptors, computationally-based drug design, intracellular signaling mechanisms, early drug discovery of treatments for addiction, natural product chemistry, and innovative mechanisms of drug delivery. Required areas of expertise includes chemistry, drug design, biophysical and computational approaches, biochemical and neurobiological mechanisms of substance use disorders.

 

Candidates interested in applying for this position should send a cover letter and curriculum vitae to Dr. Sam Ananthan via email at sam.ananthan@nih.gov

Program Officer Opening in Behavior and Cognitive Neuroscience:

NIDA’s Division of Neuroscience and Behavior is recruiting for a Program Officer position within the Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience (BCN) Branch. The Program Officer is expected to oversee a portfolio covering neurocognitive mechanisms related to substance use disorder (SUD) and bidirectional translational research through human laboratory studies and animal models. In addition, the Program Officer is expected to participate in NIDA-wide and NIH-wide activities related to neurocognition and SUD. Required expertise includes:

•            Neurocircuitry and cognition related to SUD

•            Biostatistical approaches used to analyze large-scale datasets

•            Advanced analysis methods for neuroimaging data

 

Please see the attached flyer for more details and email Dr. Vani Pariyadath (vani.pariyadath@nih.gov) if you’re interested in applying.

Program Officer Position in Data Science:

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA),  Division of Neuroscience and Behavior, Office of the Director is currently recruiting for a data science Program Officer. The mission of the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior is to discover, facilitate and promote outstanding basic animal and human research supporting the mission of NIDA, to identify the causes and consequences of drug addiction and misuse across the lifespan and to guide treatment strategies. DNB develops and supports an extramural research program that will advance the understanding of the genetic, chemical, neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms of drugs of abuse and their long-term consequences. Research related to the neurobiological bases of reward and the behaviors that characterize the cycle of addiction are a primary focus of DNB. Additionally, an integral component of DNB’s scientific mission is to grow and maintain a diverse workforce that is dedicated to these research goals and is supported through training initiatives that span from predoctoral level to mid-stage investigator. The Office of the Director directs, coordinates, and supports the Division’s missions and activities through maintaining and evaluating strategic directions and goals, supporting goals through the branch structure, and developing and leveraging collaborations and activities across NIDA and NIH.

 

The data science Program Officer would be responsible for assisting in the management of a research portfolio of grants using data science approaches to advance science on the causes of consequences of drug use and addiction. Additionally, the grant portfolio would include data curation, sharing, access, reproducibility, security, analysis, harmonization, quality metrics and standards, and visualization. The data science program officer would also serve as a representative for NIDA on NIH-wide and multi-agency committees.

 

The job listing will be posted soon. Please contact Susan Wright (susan.wright@nih.gov) and Roger Little (alittle@mail.nih.gov) for more information.
