Boston University is a dynamic and vibrant urban research university in one of the country’s leading centers of innovation. We are a diverse community of students, faculty, staff and visitors from around the US and world on our three unique campuses: the Charles River Campus that occupies a two mile swath from iconic Kenmore Square to Packard’s Corner in the City of Boston, the Medical Campus located in the city’s dynamic South End and the Fenway Campus adjacent to the Longwood Medical Area. In recent years, Boston University has redoubled its efforts to foster a more inclusive environment, and the Department of Public Safety is actively advancing efforts to not only ensure the department reflects the rich diversity of the City of Boston, but is a department in which excellence is defined by how fully we embody these principles, as stated in the University’s Diversity Statement. BU actively strives to be an antiracist institution.

The Boston University Medical Campus Public Safety Department looks forward to welcoming a NEIDL Public Safety Officer who shares our department’s commitment to ensuring Boston University is inclusive, equitable, diverse and a place where every member of our community feels safe and supported.  The primary responsibility of this position is to provide a safe and secure environment to the culturally and socially diverse community, specifically at the National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratory (NEIDL).  NEIDL officers are a unique and specialized department within Public Safety. This public safety officer shall ensure consistent and safe delivery of services, adhere to and enforce all policy and procedures set forth by the department and university for the protection of BUMC and the NEIDL staff, students, employees and medical center assets.

They work under the direction of the Assistant Director of Public Safety or their designee.

The National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratory (NEIDL) is part of a national network of secure facilities studying infectious diseases that are—or have the potential to become—major public health concerns. The laboratories are dedicated to the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and treatments to combat emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. The facility is located within BioSquare, a biomedical research and business park adjacent to the Boston University Medical Campus. Learn more here: http://www.bu.edu/neidl/
