Job Location : Atlanta,GA, USA
The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) invites applications and nominations for the Executive Director (ED) position in the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS). BBISS, one of Georgia Tech's Interdisciplinary Research Institutes (IRI), brings together researchers from across Georgia Tech, including academic and research units, to support world-class sustainability-focused research, student engagement, and industry, government, and nonprofit collaboration toward achieving systemic change.
Reporting centrally through the Vice President for Interdisciplinary Research, within Georgia Tech's Office of the Executive Vice President for Research, the ED will unite a broad range of stakeholders around a vision to elevate and grow sustainability at Georgia Tech. As a systems thinker and inclusive relationship builder, the new ED will expand and enhance BBISS collaborations and partnerships within and beyond Georgia Tech to broaden its sustainability footprint in local, regional, national, and international arenas. Like all IRI EDs, BBISS's new ED will be expected to allocate 50% of their effort to the leadership of the IRI and 50% to their primary faculty affiliation, which could be in any of Georgia Tech's academic colleges or research units. Candidates will be national or international leaders in a discipline represented in one of the Colleges at Georgia Tech, who has a history of deep engagement and impact in interdisciplinary sustainability work. They will possess credentials which merit faculty appointment as tenured Professor, Professor of the Practice, or Principal Research Faculty at Georgia Tech.
