Pasadena, California
Carnegie Science seeks nominations and applications for a visionary leader to serve as the Biosphere Sciences & Engineering Division Director based in Pasadena, California.
Carnegie Science is a private research organization dedicated to fundamental scientific discovery and application of knowledge for the improvement of humankind.
The Director joins at a pivotal moment for Carnegie Science, as Carnegie recently brought together its developmental biology, ecology, and plant science research efforts into a unified, interdisciplinary division.
Among the Director’s primary responsibilities will be facilitating Division staff’s transition from their current campuses in Palo Alto and Baltimore to a new site in Pasadena.
This position represents an exceptional opportunity to establish and lead an internationally renowned research center focused on deepening our understanding of the most pressing scientific questions of our time and shaping innovative solutions to a broad range of issues, with an urgent focus on understanding and mitigating global climate change from molecular to global scales.
Reporting to the President, the Director will work with staff to develop and implement the Division’s strategic direction and will be responsible for all aspects of operations, including research oversight, personnel management, federal awards, fundraising, budgeting and financial management, and catalyzing partnerships with local institutions including Caltech, as well as others in the region.
The successful candidate will present a distinguished record of achievement in research, administration and fundraising, as well as experience in leading an organization through periods of change.
They will demonstrate impeccable scientific judgment, an uncompromising commitment to research excellence, a commitment to diversity in all its forms, exceptional interpersonal skills, clarity in oral and written expression, and a deep commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration.
They will bring an ability to think strategically about the future of global science, and about the ways in which Carnegie Science can expand its role as an innovative leader of the scientific enterprise.
The Director also must be a strong and persuasive communicator who will work with Carnegie Science’s leadership to further build organizational reputation and secure resources to advance our strategic priorities, now and in the years to come.
