Job Description | Chief, Virology Branch The Virology Branch (VB) within the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID), NIAID, seeks an exceptional and visionary leader to serve as chief of VB. As part of its comprehensive extramural portfolio, VB supports research on a wide range of infectious diseases, including chronic diseases caused by hepatic viruses and the herpes simplex virus; diseases that are devastating to newborns, such as Zika and cytomegalovirus infections; and acute viral diseases with very high fatality rates such as rabies, yellow fever, and Ebola. The chief of VB directs and manages a complex scientific program that stimulates basic, translational, and clinical research and advances product development for viral infectious diseases of national and international prominence. The incumbent serves as a science program leader in a Tier 2 position and reports to the DMID director. The chief leads research to control and prevent infectious diseases caused by viruses other than HIV. The chief focuses on understanding the fundamental biology and pathogenesis and developing medical countermeasures for over 200 different viruses comprising over 20 viral families that impact human health, including but not limited to viral pathogens of pandemic concern. The chief exercises broad influence on scientific programs aligned with United States and global health priorities and develops and articulates scientific priorities in concert with NIH and HHS goals and the context of broader public health goals.
