Interested in a career in biosecurity?
Blueprint Biosecurity is a nonprofit dedicated to achieving breakthroughs in humanity’s capability to prevent, mitigate, and suppress pandemics. We aim to do this by providing actionable roadmaps, which we call blueprints, for accelerating and derisking countermeasures and then tackling the main bottlenecks to realizing progress.
Our work begins with scoping and prioritization efforts that maps the landscape of effective biosecurity interventions and creates clear, detailed, ambitious, and achievable plans to implement them. This work culminates with Blueprints for the interventions we believe will have the highest impact. Our pilot Blueprint focuses on a form of germicidal light known as far-UVC as a tool for suppressing transmission of pathogens in the built environment.

This effort will build on the roadmap for Pandemic Proof PPE, developing goals and objectives to translate our ambitious vision into tangible outcomes. A successful candidate will be excited about building an effort from the ground up and willing to pivot and iterate to find ways to succeed.
