Closing date: February 22, 2024

CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training (www.cpwr.com) is seeking a (40% FTE) Principal
Investigator (PI) for The Building Trades National Medical Screening Program – BTMed (www.btmed.org). BTMed
provides free medical screening services to construction workers formerly employed at the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) nuclear weapons sites, who may be at risk for occupational illnesses. BTMed is national in scope with a
coordinating staff of 40 and 225 medical providers under contract. The program serves a dynamic cohort of 30,000 older
construction workers, the largest of its kind in the world.
The PI is responsible for the ethical and technical conduct of BTMed. The PI, along with the CPWR program director,
leads BTMed with technical expertise from the University of Maryland (occupational medicine) and Duke University
(epidemiology and industrial hygiene). Administration is provided by Zenith-American Solutions, a leading national
third-party healthcare administrator. BTMed is headquartered at CPWR in Silver Spring, MD, with an administrative
office in Seattle, WA, a medical review team in Oak Ridge, TN, and several outreach offices located in areas close to
DOE sites.

BTMed has two distinct functions, and the PI should be able to lead both. First and foremost, it is a service delivery
program. BTMed must deliver medical services to its participants to the best of its ability, and the PI makes sure
procedures are followed. Second, BTMed has important research and development functions: to learn from the adverse
health outcomes it records from the services it delivers and to publish findings in the scientific literature. The PI needs to
lead both of these two functions.
Time Commitment/Qualifications of the Principal Investigator
The PI will devote approximately 40% FTE effort to BTMed, either as a direct, part-time CPWR employee or under an
individual contractual/consultancy arrangement. CPWR is interested only in individual applicants and will not consider
contracting with organizations or academic institutions.
The applicant should be qualified by education, training, and experience. The position requires a mix of expertise in
construction safety and health, medical service delivery, exposure/risk assessment, occupational health, and
epidemiology. The ideal candidate for this job is mid-career. This applicant is either a physician with good public health
and research skills or a public health scientist with good clinical and health services delivery skills.

Job Location
It is preferred that the candidate selected lives in the Washington, DC metro area, with easy access to the CPWR office
in Silver Spring, MD. However, a hybrid arrangement would be considered.
Timing
The position will be filled as soon as possible, allowing overlap with current PI to ensure program continuity and continued
excellence.

Compensation Package
Salary is based on qualifications and prior experience. Flexible work schedule. Equal Employment Opportunity.
