Job Description

Physician II - Site Principal Investigator (DARPA
STRENGTHEN
) Join the HJF Team!

HJF is seeking a Physician II to play a key role in clinical research and the implementation of novel and emerging psychiatric interventions for active-duty service members. The Physician will serve as the Site Principal Investigator (PI) for the
DARPA STRENGTHEN
clinical trial conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). In this role, the Physician will lead the execution of a multi-site study focused on rapid, transdiagnostic treatments for suicidality that combine transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), pharmacotherapy, and digital behavioral therapy. The Physician will be responsible for clinical oversight, patient treatment, ensuring the scientific integrity of the trial, and managing the delivery of care within a complex research environment.

This position is in support of the Department of Psychiatry / Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress. The position is located at both the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) on the WRNMMC campus and our home office in Bethesda, MD. The Physician will support a clinical trial under
DARPA STRENGTHEN
to evaluate the efficacy and military translational potential of a multi-modal neurobehavioral treatment protocol for suicidality.

The Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS) is one of the nation's oldest and most highly regarded, academic-based organizations dedicated to advancing trauma-informed knowledge, leadership and methodologies. The Center's work addresses a wide scope of trauma exposure from the consequences of combat, operations other than war, terrorism, natural and humanmade disasters, and public health threats as well as risk and protective factors associated with suicidal behaviors. CSTS is a part of our nation's federal medical school, Uniformed Services University (USU), and its Department of Psychiatry. These affiliations represent the Center's history, mission and future directions as a major contributor to our country's understanding of the impact of trauma and the advancement of trauma-informed care.

The Department has active research programs in the Basic and Clinical Sciences and Neurosciences. In addition to intramural research projects, the Department maintains active research funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Drug Abuse, National Science Foundation, the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force. The department has ongoing collaborations with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, is sponsor of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress and provides psychiatry residency training through its affiliations with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, National Naval Medical Center and Malcolm Grow Air Force Medical Center and the National Capital Area Graduate Medical Education Consortium.
