Wanted: Program Director, Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences Branch

We’re recruiting for an accomplished scientist with interest and experience in sepsis, critical illness, and/or polytraumatic injury join the Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences (PPS) Branch of the Division of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biological Chemistry (PPBC). The successful applicant will be responsible for scientific and administrative management of a portfolio of research, career development, and training grants. Opportunities also exist for Small Business Innovation and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) grants. The PPS Branch of PPBC supports both basic and clinical research. This position offers stewardship of grants related to investigations directed toward improving understanding of 1) the host response to sepsis and septic shock, and/or 2) the total body response to traumatic, burn, and surgical injuries, including biochemical and physiological changes, as well as inflammatory, immunological, and hypermetabolic responses. The sepsis portfolio emphasizes the patient’s pathobiological response rather than a presumptive causative microorganism or injury. The injury portfolio covers the time immediately following injury through ultimate resolution and include aspects of related critical illness syndromes. Other scientific areas supported in this branch include studies of the mechanisms of innate and adaptive immune responses; wound healing; clinical pharmacology; anesthesia; and basic research on receptors, channels, membrane lip...
