A fellowship opportunity is currently available in the Office of the Associate Director for Science (OADS) within the Office of the Director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). OADS focuses on strengthening the quality and integrity of CDC’s science by fostering innovative and successful scientific collaborations and partnerships and contributing to understanding the impact of CDC science on public health.

The fellow will help establish a Case Management solution that uses Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (CRM) for the Science Services Support Project’s (S3P) Resource Center. The Resource Center is a CDC-wide service desk that will support CDC staff who use the S3P IT system. Through the utilization of Case Management, cases will be tracked, handled, and resolved through the provision of information, troubleshooting, training, user feedback, etc. This is a unique opportunity to deliver value to CDC science by working with an innovative team and to enjoy the challenges associated with cutting edge technology that has been deployed both on-premise and in the cloud.
