Director, Berkeley Energy & Climate Institute (BECI)
University of California, Berkeley
The University of California, Berkeley is poised to take its leadership role addressing energy and climate challenges to a new level, to catalyze a sustainable future through innovation and education for responsible stewardship of the planet through the Berkeley Energy & Climate Institute (BECI).
We are seeking a Director of international research reputation and stature to lead the Institute to:
• Strengthen the coordination and synergies of our energy and climate efforts to achieve maximum impacts through the integration of science, engineering, social science, market, health and policy research;
• Educate and energize the next generation of energy and climate research scientists and policy/government leaders;
• Pioneer a commitment to technology transfer that sets a new global standard and leverages the rich potential for partnerships, in the Bay Area and across the globe;
• Engage the talents and creativity of our extraordinary students, alumni, community, industry and government stakeholders, and partners at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
Additionally, the Director will play a major role in representing UC Berkeley’s vision and impacts to, and expanding support from, its outside constituencies, including without limitation: the California Legislature and its delegation in the nation’s Capitol; federal and state agencies, the tax payers of California, and BECI’s philanthropic and industrial sponsors.
BECI’s Director will report to UC Berkeley’s Chancellor. A competitive candidate must have PhD or equivalent and possess experience at the level of tenured professor or equivalent at a research university or laboratory with national/international prominence and in an academic discipline relevant to the research agenda of BECI. S/he should have demonstrated academic and research management experience, as the equivalent of a university department chair, or as a laboratory director appointment at an industrial laboratory or government agency. Preferably, the Director will also have government and/or industry experience. The Director must be able to demonstrate considerable management experience suitable for a diverse and complex research environment that involves academia as well as private industry. An ability to interact effectively, build partnerships, and develop shared goals and objectives with a large, independent, and diverse community of researchers across multiple campuses and with industrial and government partners, is essential. An interest in subjects that will contribute to the understanding of diversity and equal opportunity is desired. Applicants should submit a CV and statement summarizing their research interests as well as experience and professional contributions to the area of energy and/or climate research. Applications must be submitted online by December 3, 2012 at https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF00062
The University acknowledges the need to remove barriers to the recruitment, retention, and advancement of faculty from historically excluded populations who are currently underrepresented. Qualified women and members of under-represented minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply. The University of California is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to addressing the needs of dual career couples.
