Technical Writer III - CDP

Join the HJF Team!

HJF is seeking a Technical Writer III to serve in a scientific writing role supporting the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences’ Consortium for Defense Psychology (CDP). The position will collaborate with principal investigators and multidisciplinary teams to develop original research manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals, review articles, and evidence-informed white papers released by CDP. The successful candidate will bring demonstrated scientific writing expertise, a record of substantive contributions to peer-reviewed publications, and the ability to advance multiple writing projects with competing deadlines.

Working from study protocols, research-team input, and existing statistical results, the Technical Writer III will draft and revise manuscript sections, synthesize relevant literature, and coordinate publications from initial outline through submission and revision. The position requires sufficient knowledge of research methods and statistics to describe analyses and findings accurately; independent statistical analysis is not a responsibility of this role.

This position will be in support of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences’ Consortium for Defense Psychology (CDP), which is based in Bethesda, MD. The Technical Writer III will assist with activities related to CDP’s mission, which is to lead the development of a community of military culturally mindful and clinically competent providers through the delivery of high-quality training and education, the convening of experts, and the dissemination of research-based treatment and the latest topics in military behavioral health. The Henry M. Jackson Foundation provides administrative and management support to the Consortium. CDP strives to be the central hub for the Military Health System (MHS) in the development and implementation of training and education to clinicians in order to ensure that all service members, veterans, and their families receive quality behavioral healthcare that meets their unique needs.
