Center for Scientific Review (CSR)’s Post

🤔 Are you considering a career change that utilizes your scientific expertise? Consider joining CSR as a scientific review officer (SRO)! When asked about her transition from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to an SRO, Dr. Cynthia McOliver said, “my prior work at EPA collaborating with teams and engaging in grants management, peer review, and outreach/science communications activities served as a great foundation for transition to an SRO. The excellent new SRO trainings, my highly supportive branch chief, and collaborative and helpful teammates were important in building my confidence as a new SRO.” Dr. McOliver has found “training early career and first-time reviewers to ensure they develop confidence in the peer review process as well as their ability to provide fair, objective, and unbiased assessments of research applications” to be an enjoyable aspect of being an SRO within CSR. Through July 17, 2024, CSR is actively recruiting multiple SROs with expertise from a variety of disciplines within The National Institutes of Health research portfolio – ranging from biomedical engineering to cell biology to behavioral health sciences. Select from one of the three vacancy announcements that best fits your expertise: ·     Biological Scientist Administrator (SRO) ·     Data Scientist Administrator (SRO) ·     Physical Scientist Administrator (SRO) 💻 Applying for a federal job is different than applying for an academic position.
