Job Description:
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the
largest institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and part of
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), conducts and supports a
global program of research to better understand, treat, and ultimately
prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.

The Division of AIDS (DAIDS) within NIAID seeks an exceptional and visionary
leader to be the deputy director of DAIDS. DAIDS was formed in 1986 to
develop and implement the national research agenda to address the HIV/AIDS
epidemic. Toward that end, DAIDS supports a global research portfolio to
advance biological knowledge of HIV and its related co-infections and
co-morbidities.

With the ultimate goal of ending the HIV epidemic, DAIDS develops and
supports the infrastructure and biomedical research needed to 1) reduce HIV
incidence through the development of effective biomedical prevention
strategies, including vaccines that are safe and desirable; 2) develop novel
approaches for the treatment and cure of HIV infection; 3) develop
interventions to treat and/or prevent co-infections and co-morbidities of
greatest significance; 4) engage scientific and community stakeholders to
equitably implement effective interventions; 5) implement strategies to
foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility activities, to include
growing a diverse, talented, and trained workforce; and 6) foster new
extramural partnerships to address topics of significant mutual interest.

The deputy director of DAIDS shares the full responsibility for providing
scientific and clinical leadership to DAIDS as well as managing the planning,
conducting, coordinating, and evaluating of the national and international
extramural research effort focused on HIV/AIDS. The international scope of
DAIDS is significant, with clinical research sites on six continents. The
deputy director serves as the principal advisor to the director in the
planning, directing, and oversight of a portfolio of research grants and
contracts in excess of $1 billion and addresses the development of tools for
the prevention, treatment, and/or cure of HIV/AIDS.

The deputy director’s role involves setting program priorities and
recommending funding levels for competing programs, as well as preparing
analyses of national and international needs and research efforts to assist
advisory groups in recommending new and/or continuing program emphases. The
deputy director also maintains surveillance over developments in HIV/AIDS
research and assesses the need for research into the pathogenesis, diagnosis,
prevention, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and for educational or outreach and/or
training. The deputy director consults with voluntary and professional health
organizations in identifying and meeting the research needs of DAIDS and also
assists in coordinating and collaborating with other federal, non-government,
private sector, and international organizations.
