National Institutes of Health
17 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The National Institutes of Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, is the federal government’s medical research agency. Its institutes and centers fund research at universities and hospitals across the country and run their own laboratories and the NIH Clinical Center, so the civilian workforce mixes scientists and clinicians with the administrative, financial and technology staff that keep a large campus and grants operation running.
Recent listings have included a data scientist and an IT specialist in data science, a supervisory IT program manager, a technology transfer and patent specialist, a supervisory fire protection engineer, a lead nurse specialist in research, a supervisory auditor, a supervisory human resources specialist, a space analyst, a program specialist and a management intern.
Applying tip: NIH announcements are often open to the public under several hiring paths at once, and the questionnaire asks about specific experience in the institute’s subject area, so tailor the resume to the institute named rather than to NIH in general. The IT guide covers the data science and IT program roles, and the USAJOBS search guide shows how to filter to a single agency.
