The U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Futures Command. To achieve that vision, USAMRDC employs military, civilian, and contractor personnel that are assigned to the headquarters and subordinate units. The officers, enlisted service members, and civilian workforce provide a wide variety of medical, scientific, technical expertise. Many of these personnel are among the most respected and knowledgeable specialists in their fields. USAMRMC's world-class reputation is the direct result of the outstanding leadership, work ethic, and selfless service of its highly talented workforce. Please visit our website https://mrdc.amedd.army.mil

USAMRDC is participating in an alternative personnel system known as the Personnel Demonstration Project (PDP). The DJ-04 payband is equivalent to the GS-13, Step 01 to GS-14, Step 10. In keeping with the Demonstration pay fixing policies, employees earning a salary that falls within this payband equivalent, may not receive an immediate pay increase (promotion) if appointed to this position. Future pay increases within the payband will be accomplished through the pay for performance management system.

In order to qualify, you must meet the experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, Ameri Corps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social).
