Job description

Join the HJF Team!

HJF is seeking two highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Program Coordinators to perform a wide range of administrative and operational research duties in support of the National Institute for Defense Health Cooperation (NIDHC). Specifically, this position will support the Pre-and Post-Crash Care (PPCC) Program, executed on behalf of the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Program Coordinator will serve as a central point of coordination for operational activities between internal and external stakeholders. The successful candidate will facilitate high-level communication and coordination across partner organizations, federal agencies, and internal HJF/USU leadership to ensure mission alignment. By managing complex scheduling, tracking key deliverables, and streamlining workflows, the Program Coordinator provides the essential administrative infrastructure necessary for the PPCC Team to effectively execute the program objectives.

The National Institute for Defense Health Cooperation (NIDHC) was established in 2025 by combining three defense entities: the National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health (NCDMPH), the Center for Global Health Engagement (CGHE), and the Defense Institute for Medical Operations (DIMO). Its mission is to support military and civilian health operational readiness in crisis and conflict through training and education, planning and partnership, and research and analysis. Based at the Uniformed Services University, NIDHC is a federal organization and academic center that supports the DoD and the federal interagencies.

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing military medicine. We serve military, medical, academic and government clients by administering, managing and supporting preeminent scientific programs that benefit members of the armed forces and civilians alike. Since its founding in 1983, HJF has served as a vital link between the military medical community and its federal and private partners. HJF's support and administrative capabilities allow military medical researchers and clinicians to maintain their scientific focus and accomplish their research goals.
