With offices in Alexandria, VA and Raleigh, NC we are seeking a master’s or Ph.D.-level scientist and writer in biomedical health sciences, with knowledge of environmental health.

In addition, the job involves scientific information collation and management using existing databases to support program decision making at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).
