I’m guessing these are all “temporary” positions. I don’t see long term career options with a job like that.

I guess they don’t have to worry about retirement benefits, but I don’t know that it’s possible to offer a good enough medical plan.

...including taking their temperatures

This is so stupid on so many levels. An Ebola victim who knows he's sick will take over-the-counter medicine to mask his fever.

And what will the US do with an Ebola victim who doesn't know he's sick, and so exhibits a fever? Attempt to treat him? Quarantine him? Return him to his home country in a private jet?

They might wish to contact some of the retired workers from Fukushima. Didn’t the power company hire back retirees who suffered high radiation levels? If any remain alive, they might be willing to fearlessly work in such a field. How about Ebola survivors, already immune?
