ARPA-H Senior Scientist / Engineer (Regenerative Medicine & Advanced Biological Systems)
About The Position
Everforth ECS is seeking an ARPA-H Senior Scientist / Engineer specializing in regenerative medicine and advanced biological systems to work remotely. In this role, you will collaborate with the ARPA-H Program Manager and team to advance ARPA-H research initiatives and support the development, funding, and management of new and existing R&D programs in service of the agency’s mission to accelerate better health outcomes for everyone. The role provides scientific and technical support and advice to the Program Manager. It requires working across disciplines and assessing how biological systems integrate with autonomous experimentation, high-throughput screening, sensors, instrumentation, and other advanced research platforms. The successful candidate will join an existing team, support current ARPA-H efforts, and work independently as well as collaboratively on technical R&D efforts. SETA duties include evaluating the scientific R&D landscape to identify portfolio gaps and mission-aligned research needs; monitoring performers’ progress against established metrics; digesting complex information and preparing briefings for technical and non-technical audiences; and collecting, sorting, analyzing, and writing internal programmatic reports and briefings on relevant health-related topics. Some travel within the continental United States is expected, approximately 10–20%, as needed to support the programs and Program Manager.
