About The Position

Amentum is seeking a driven and professional Epidemiology Operations Senior Analyst to work on the PACOM Command Surgeon’s (J07) Decision Support Team (DST). This position serves as the DST's senior expert for infectious-disease surveillance, population-health trends, and epidemiological risk, acting as a primary liaison with civilian health agencies, academia, and foreign partners. The Analyst leads wastewater-based epidemiology and integrates public health, biosurveillance, wastewater, open-source, operational, and classified information to identify anomalies and assess force-health and mission effects. General public health experience without applied epidemiological or biosurveillance expertise is insufficient. Assigned to J85, the position directly supports J07, entails hybrid work from Camp Smith and other local locations, receives functional priorities from J07 through established contract channels, operates with project and technical oversight from J85, and reports administratively to the Amentum Project Lead.
