We’re seeking a highly qualified scientist to serve as a program director in our Division of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biological Chemistry (PPBC). This is a newly created position for the Division as it reorganizes into three Branches. Applicants should have significant interest and experience in the scientific areas comprising the newly formed Chemistry and Chemical Biology Branch. The purpose of the Branch is to foster meritorious research in chemical biology, synthetic biology, chemical catalysis and synthesis, carbohydrate chemistry, natural products, bioinorganic chemistry, and metabolic engineering. We seek candidates with cutting-edge skills and abilities who can complement existing Branch members.

With the departure of Ming Lei, a search is open for an outstanding candidate to serve as director of our Division for Research Capacity Building (DRCB).

DRCB seeks to enhance the research, research training, research infrastructure, and faculty development of institutions in states and jurisdictions that have historically received low levels of NIH support. DRCB is thus responsible for both broadening the distribution of NIH biomedical research funding and supporting NIGMS' commitment to developing a diverse biomedical research workforce. DRCB manages a number of highly impactful initiatives, including the Institutional Development Awards (IDeA), Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH), Support for Research Excellence (SuRE), and Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) programs.
