    Description
    Overview

    Join the HJF Team


    HJF is seeking a Microbiology Laboratory Supervisor II to be responsible for the day to day operations of the laboratory.

    Performs the most advanced laboratory procedures and supervises the work of laboratory technicians. Provides administrative oversight to space management, personnel management, and laboratory supply management.

    This position will be in support of Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), Operational Infectious Diseases (OID).

    OID conducts on-going, laboratory-based surveillance of US military populations in unique environments to quantify and study the etiology of infectious illnesses.

    Test specimens are collected from ongoing surveillance programs and from special investigations of febrile illnesses and pneumonia among military personnel or civilians (recruits, forces afloat, deployed forces, outbreaks of concern, and border populations).

    In addition to the utilization of portable, rapid assay technologies to identify pathogens in the field, test specimens and limited epidemiologic data, when approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), are provided to the NHRC laboratory where diagnostics and, in some instances, in-depth pathogen characterization is conducted.

    Results are provided to sponsors, the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, local investigators and collaborators and, when applicable, county health units in order to guide proper responses that ultimately affect both the readiness of US forces and the safety of public health.

    The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing military medicine.

    We serve military, medical, academic and government clients by administering, managing and supporting preeminent scientific programs that benefit members of the armed forces and civilians alike.

    Since its founding in 1983, HJF has served as a vital link between the military medical community and its federal and private partners.
