Description

Wellesley College has a strong tradition of preparing women for leadership roles in the sciences. Wellesley offers majors in astronomy, biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, geosciences, mathematics, physics, and psychology, as well as interdepartmental majors in astrophysics, biological chemistry, cognitive and linguistic sciences, environmental studies, media arts and sciences, and neuroscience. Students have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on research projects and they may be involved in research as early as their first year. All science departments and programs are located in the Science Center which combines the architecture of Sage Hall, the original science building, with dramatic 1977 and 1991 additions, giving the center a feel that transcends time or era.

The Director of the Science Center will oversee programming and outreach initiatives in the sciences; administer all internal funding for faculty and students; and seek outside funding for Science Center-wide initiatives. He/she will manage a team of administrative, technical and union staff committed to providing the many services necessary to support science faculty, staff and students in their teaching, learning and research. He/she will also manage the physical building, oversee regulatory compliance and safety, and monitor policy for building-related issues. The Director will interact with a broad range of members of the college community and will work closely with the Chair of Science Center Chairs, will be assisted by the Sciences Center Office Manager, and will report directly to the Dean of the College.

The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic, inspiring and collaborative leader with a passion for the sciences. A Ph. D. in the sciences is required. Management experience, including supervising a varied staff in a scientific setting is preferred. Post-secondary teaching/research that engages students in the sciences is desirable. Experience in securing extramural funding is preferred.

Wellesley College is an EO/AA educational institution and employer. The College is committed to increasing the diversity of the college community and the curriculum. Candidates who believe they will contribute to that goal are encouraged to apply.
