Job Details

The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research’s mission is to protect and enhance the public health through the regulation of biological products including blood, vaccines, allergenics, tissues, and cellular and gene therapies. Biologics, in contrast to drugs that are chemically synthesized, are derived from living sources (such as human, animals, and microorganisms) and are not easily identified or characterized, and many are manufactured using biotechnology.

Duties: Medical officers provide medical advice and guidance on the review, approval, and development of biological products; serve as consultants to other scientists and clinical researchers on biological products that often represent cutting-edge biomedical research that, in time, may offer the most effective means to treat a variety of illnesses and conditions that presently have few or no other treatment options; lead the analysis and evaluation of clinical trials to ensure safeguards for the testing of biological products; and evaluate complex issues that may impact the safety, efficacy, or potency of a wide variety of biological products. There may be additional opportunities to conduct research in support of our regulatory mission.

Qualifications:

Must be a U.S. Citizen with a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathy from a school in the United States or Canada approved by a recognized accrediting body in the year of the applicant's graduation. Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the above requirements if you can show that the foreign education is comparable to that received in an accredited educational institution in the United States. Applicants should provide such evidence when applying.

All candidates must possess excellent interpersonal skills to deal effectively with multi-disciplinary teams and diverse stakeholders; and outstanding oral and written communication skills. Completion of a residency training and fellowship program is highly desired.

Salary Range: 

Salary is equivalent to GP-602-14/15 and commensurate with education and experience. GP-15 non-supervisory positions may be subject to peer review.
