Blueprint Biosecurity is a nonprofit dedicated to achieving breakthroughs in humanity’s ability to prevent pandemics by guiding the development and most promising technologies and policies for preventing the spread of airborne disease. They produce actionable “Blueprints” — plans to safely speed up vetting and implementation of high-impact interventions — and advance solutions such as far‑UVC germicidal lighting, next‑generation PPE, and air disinfectants (e. g. , glycol vapor approaches). Blueprint Biosecurity publishes research and funding opportunities, runs programs and funded projects, and partners with government, academia, industry, and philanthropic organizations to move interventions from concept to real-world deployment.

📋 Description

• Review academic literature, technical data, expert talks, and policy documents in target research areas, and distill the key information into concise summaries with clear chains of reasoning. • Evaluate the efficacy, safety, and real-world deployability of technologies and interventions to reduce airborne pathogen transmission in the built environment. • Translate research findings into programmatic strategies and grant concepts with clear theories of change. • Build lasting professional domain experts across relevant fields (often through semi-structured interviews), including researchers, companies, key opinion leaders, and other organizations, to learn about target areas and test Blueprint's ideas. • Support the development of public-facing outputs such as articles, presentations, and Blueprints. • Provide technical advice to program teams and supporting teams. • Present at conferences and workshops, gather feedback on our work, and build collaborative relationships. • Support additional Built Environment programs as bandwidth and expertise allow. • Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.

🎯 Requirements

• A track record that features both research-focused and execution-focused work. This role is for someone who can both investigate a new area and turn that learning into concrete plans. • Excellent research skills, with the ability and willingness to interpret a wide variety of methods and results pertaining to various technical fields. • Proficiency in quantitative reasoning under uncertainty, such as Fermi estimation. • The ability to network, engage, and communicate effectively with both internal and external audiences. We weigh this ability as highly as research skill. • The ability to manage moderately scoped projects with limited oversight, and to develop your own work plan when a problem is not fully defined. • Proficiency in using emerging AI tools to streamline workflows and improve productivity across the role. • A relevant technical background, demonstrated through advanced academic study or previous work experience. • Deep familiarity with one or more of the following areas: air filtration research, HVAC systems and controls, air cleaning or treatment technologies, aerosol science, environmental engineering, epidemiology, or airborne infectious disease research. (Preferred) • A background in local, state, or federal emergency management or emergency response. (Preferred) • Prior experience supporting Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) style organizations through systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), working in scientific or engineering consulting, or serving as a technical subject-matter expert in industry. (Preferred)

🏖️ Benefits
