*Health Scientist Administrator (Program Officer) GS-601-12/13/14*



The Division of Translational Research (DTR) at NIMH directs, plans, and
supports programs of research and research training that translate
knowledge from basic science to discover the etiology, pathophysiology, and
trajectory of mental disorders and develop effective interventions for
children and adults. DTR supports integrative, multidisciplinary research
in the following areas: the phenotypic characterization and risk factors
for psychiatric disorders; neurobehavioral mechanisms of psychopathology;
trajectories of risk and resilience based on the interactive influences of
genetics, brain development, environment, and experience; and design and
testing of innovative neuromodulatory, psychosocial and
psychopharmacological interventions. The Division of is looking for
motivated individuals to serve as Program Officers to identify and
formulate programmatic needs to achieve an integrated and responsive effort
in clinical neuroscience, novel intervention development and testing in
both adults and children, and systems-level neuroscience research relevant
for understanding the etiology and trajectories of serious mental
illnesses. As program officers in this division, the selected candidate(s)
will stimulate, plan, advise, and direct program activities for a portfolio
of research projects and grant or cooperative agreement awards in the area
of translational research. Program Officer candidates are expected to be
accomplished scientists with a good understanding of how biomedical
research is performed and expertise in one or more of the fields: clinical,
cognitive, molecular, behavioral neuroscience, neuromodulation,
psychotherapeutic development, genetics or related fields that emphasize
multidisciplinary approaches to understanding the underlying causes of and
developing effective treatment for mental disorders. A publication record,
prior research experience and evidence of a familiarity with current
literature in the biology of mental illness are essential.
