HJF is seeking a Program Coordinator with a scientific background to support the Scientific Project Management Branch within the Military Relevant Bacterial Diseases Department (MRBD) within the Infectious Diseases Directorate at the Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) providing programmatic and administrative support to the Operationally Relevant Infections Department. The incumbent will coordinate budget and accounting, meetings management, project management, contracts, and purchasing.

This position will be in support of the MRBD Department at the NMRC. The NMRC is an agency that performs basic and applied biomedical research to meet the needs of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.

Inouye Building with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research at the U.S. Army Forest Glen Annex, Silver Spring, Maryland.

The newly established MRBD Department is built on the legacy of the former Enteric Disease and Wound Infection research departments of NMRC. The Enteric Diseases Division (EDD) and Combat Wound Infections (CWID) divisions of MRBD are dedicated to three main research goals: assessment, prevention and treatment of enteric and wound infections caused by bacterial pathogens of high military relevance.
