Full job description
BACKGROUND
The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) is a unique facility located at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD, dedicated to defending the nation against biological threats. Established in response to biodefense gaps identified after the Amerithrax attacks of 2001, NBACC has been operated by the Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI) since 2006.
NBACC supports DHS and national biodefense preparedness planning, response, emerging threat characterization, and bioforensic analyses. It addresses critical scientific knowledge gaps regarding biological agents to protect the public and defend the nation against biological threats- whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate. NBACC also provides federal law enforcement with scientific data to support the investigation and attribution of biocrimes and the protection of the U.S. bioeconomy.
NBACC is comprised of two centers:
National Bioforensic Analysis Center (NBFAC): Conducts technical analyses to support federal law enforcement investigations.
National Biological Threat Characterization Center (NBTCC): Conducts experiments and studies to gather data for understanding biological vulnerabilities and hazards.
Together, these centers serve as a national resource for assessing risks posed by biological agents and emerging technologies, informing biodefense policy and response planning, and supporting the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of biocrimes and bioterrorism.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Supports the planning, design, hands-on execution, analysis, and reporting of aerobiology studies examining the generation, characterization, infectivity, persistence, and environmental decay of biological aerosols to inform risk assessments and customer requirements.
Performs hands-on aerobiology laboratory work in high-containment environments, including preparation and execution of approved protocols, operation of aerosol generation and sampling systems, collection and processing of samples, use of related laboratory instrumentation, and documentation of experimental activities.
Contributes to study design, method establishment, data acquisition, data analysis, interpretation of results, and preparation of technical briefings, reports, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
Collaborates with internal and external partners to design, evaluate, optimize, and validate novel aerobiology test systems, technologies, methodologies, equipment, and experimental approaches.
Works effectively within matrixed, cross-functional research teams that may include Aerobiology, Microbiology, Comparative Medicine, Quality, Safety, Facilities, and other technical support staff.
Applies scientific judgment and technical expertise to troubleshoot experimental challenges, evaluate data, resolve complex technical problems, and determine appropriate actions within defined procedures and practices.
Formulates scientific hypotheses and demonstrates technical proficiency, scientific creativity, collaboration, and independent thought in the design and conduct of aerobiology research.
Provides technical direction, prioritization, scheduling support, training, and guidance to staff conducting laboratory research activities.
Demonstrates and fosters a strong commitment to safety, regulatory compliance, and adherence to NBACC policies, procedures, and standards, including promoting consistent compliance with applicable biosafety, biosecurity, quality, security, and operational requirements among colleagues and team members.
Exercises judgment within defined procedures and practices to determine appropriate action.
Receives no instruction on routine work and general instruction on new assignments.
Willingness to work on problems of diverse scope in which analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors, with expert knowledge of complex scientific principles and concepts.
Willingness to formulate scientific hypothesis and demonstrate technical proficiency, scientific creativity, collaboration with others and independent thought.
Participates in the testing and evaluation of new technologies and protocols including writing and updating NBACC Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions and forms to improve NBACC’s ability to serve its customers.
Identifies departures from the Quality Management System (QMS) and initiates actions to investigate and prevent such occurrences.
Provides analysis, opinions and interpretation, and issues reports.

The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center is one of the central elements in the United States’ Biodefense enterprise. It is the only national security-focused biocontainment laboratory and has been operating without interruption at BSL-0 through BSL-4 for more than 12 years. The NBACC houses two independent but complementary science programs: the National Biological Threat Characterization Center (NBTCC) and the National Bioforensic Analysis Center (NBFAC). NBTCC is a DHS entity that performs work for a wide range of partners including DHS, DoD, HHS, the Intelligence Community, and others, and largely focuses on applied research projects aimed at providing its US Government (USG) partners with the information they need to assess the risks associated with biological agents and technologies and develop strategies for countering threats that are identified. NBFAC is an FBI organization that functions as the FBI’s ‘Special Projects’ lab in analyzing evidentiary material that requires biocontainment, as well as a wide range of samples that require advanced scientific methods and/or unique security and safety measures that are not available anywhere else.
Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI) is a single purpose non-profit corporation that manages the NBACC as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) for the Department of Homeland Security. We are always looking for talented people to join our science staff, help manage one of the most complex biocontainment operations in existence, and support our staff in HR, finance, security, safety, and other groups at NBACC. If you would like to join BNBI’s team and support an organization that plays a pivotal role in defending the United States against biological threats, check out our jobs page, visit our website, or contact us directly.
