Job Summary
The Center is seeking a dynamic, creative, and passionate individual to lead the Department into its next phase of world-class scientific discovery and technological innovation. This individual will be given considerable freedom and independence to realize his or her vision of what this next phase might be, but it should enable complementary activities in basic science and engineered technology.
In order to achieve his or her vision, the Manager will need to be successful in four areas of approximately equal weight:
1. Engagement with the Semiconductor Device Sciences Research Community. The Manager must be intimately engaged with the relevant research community worldwide. Relevant activities include: actively participating in international conferences, workshops and technology roadmapping; actively contributing to technical societies, journal editing, and/or conference organization; or authorship or co-authorship of review articles or books.
2. Program Development. The manager is expected to support staff in their own development of smaller programs, and to lead the development of new larger, multi-staff multi-departmental programs that define strategic future directions and ensure the long-term health of the Center.
3. Staff Nurturing and Recruiting. The Manager is expected to actively coach and guide staff to achieve their best, and to help create an environment in which research, creativity, teamwork and personal satisfaction can flourish. In addition, the Manager is expected to actively track and recruit excellent candidates for post-doctoral or staff positions.
4. Administration. The Manager is expected to handle (or delegate to Center support staff) administrative responsibilities including budgeting, ES&H, committee service, and cross-organizational communications.
For a motivated and scientifically ambitious person, this job will be extremely rewarding. It provides an opportunity to build technically exciting research programs of greater breadth than can be built by individual staff; to leave a lasting impact on Sandia's S&T portfolio; and to lead highly-motivated scientists and engineers in a cohesive team.
This position will appeal to Sandia staff and university professors looking to leverage their impact by leading a group of world-class scientists working together in a fast-moving, highly interdisciplinary team environment. It will also appeal to industrial scientists and managers, and Sandia Level I Managers, looking to explore riskier and longer-term research ideas requiring a deeper scientific perspective.
The 1123 Department Manager will report directly to the 1120 Senior Manager for Semiconductor and Optical Sciences.
