Position announcements will be available on USAJOBS from Thursday, October 27th to Monday, October 31st.
The All of Us Research Program seeks to gather and make available health data from one million or more individuals living in the United States to accelerate research that may improve health, with a particular focus on populations that have been historically underrepresented in biomedical research to help eradicate health inequities. The All of Us Policy Office is responsible for analyzing, developing, and interpreting policy for the program and contributing to intra- and inter-agency efforts, multi-national fora, and other collaborations that help shape science policy nationally and internationally. Within the program, the office is charged with ensuring the program’s compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and policies; developing informed consent processes; developing program policies on such topics as data and biospecimen governance, privacy, participant recruitment, and others; advising divisions within the program on a variety of policy and ELSI issues related to participant engagement, genomics, return of results, biospecimen access, and emerging technologies; and integrating ELSI objectives into the activities of the program.
Candidates should possess knowledge–either through previous employment or course of study leading to an advanced degree–of laws, regulations, policies, and/or ELSI issues relevant to biomedical research and professional or extensive academic experience interpreting, integrating, and applying topical information. Candidates should also be able to demonstrate a strong research and analytical background, meticulous attention to detail, an ability to work in a fast-paced and inclusive work environment, experience in convening and coordinating multidisciplinary working groups, and excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences.
