The Society for Developmental Biology Publishing Fellowship
The Society for
Developmental Biology (SDB) was founded in 1939 to promote the
field of developmental biology and to advance our understanding of
developmental biology at all levels. To this end, we foster excellence in
research and education in developmental biology; we provide advice and
resources on careers in developmental biology; and we provide information
for the public on relevant topics in developmental biology. Perhaps most
importantly, we provide a communication hub for all developmental
biologists. The SDB is associated with the journal Developmental Biology,
currently published by Elsevier; the SDB organizes scientific meetings,
short courses and workshops that focus on developmental biology and
related areas; the SDB has established programs to interface with the
international community of developmental biologists; and the SDB maintains
a web site that covers all aspects of developmental biology, including a
section with peer-reviewed teaching materials which is a partner of the
National Science Digital Library. Our membership includes developmental
biologists at all stages of their careers from around the world.
The fellow will be responsible for assisting in the process of
electronic review of selected manuscripts; working with authors and
editors on cross-linking and identification of ancillary electronic
resources; managing revisions; fostering publication related contact and
communication with the membership; connecting scientific content with
educational activities aimed for lay public and educators. A committee of representatives from SDB will review application materials, interview finalists, and recommend up to three candidates to the organizational leaders for the final selection decision. The experience, area of interest, and future plans of the candidates will be considered. Membership in SDB is an asset. Interested candidates must submit a signed cover letter including specific interests/experiences that apply to this position and how they see themselves in this role; three to five references with contact information (do not include reference letters with the application); CV with list of publications. All materials must be submitted as an e-mail PDF attachment to: resumes@faseb.org with subject title “SDB Fellow”. The application deadline is September 30th, 2009. Equal Opportunity Employer.

The VDB chief provides scientific and management leadership in planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating an extramural program of grants and contracts in basic HIV vaccine discovery research. VDB plays a central role in mining all relevant areas of HIV research for knowledge that will inform HIV vaccine design. To that end, VDB interacts with researchers and NIAID staff involved in related areas of research (e.g., HIV pathogenesis, HIV immunology, HIV structural biology, basic immunology, and other vaccine discovery efforts) to facilitate the translation of new information into promising HIV vaccine designs or concepts. VDB also interacts and coordinates with staff of the Preclinical Research and Development Branch in VRP, to ensure smooth transition of the most promising new vaccine ideas and concepts into designs that can be evaluated and considered for further development. The branch chief represents the branch at national and international scientific conferences and at meetings with academic and other research institutions. The branch chief also provides guidance and administrative supervision and direction to professional and support staff. NIAID is a $4.4 billion research organization that leads, supports, and conducts research to understand, treat, and prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases throughout the world. DAIDS is the extramural division of NIAID whose mission is to help stop the AIDS epidemic through increasing basic knowledge of the pathogenesis, natural history, and transmission of HIV and to support research that promotes progress toward its detection, treatment, and prevention. VRP has a portfolio of approximately $225 million in grants and contracts. Applicants must possess a Ph.D. and demonstrate experience in (1) working both independently and collaboratively in planning, organizing, conducting, and overseeing basic HIV research, basic immunology research, or vaccine discovery/design research; (2) serving effectively in research program administration; and (3) effective verbal and oral communications.
