Senior Management Opening:
Argonne National Laboratory — Director, Chemical Sciences and Engineering
Division
Argonne National Laboratory invites applicants for the position of Director
of the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division, a new technical
division formed from the merger of Argonne's existing Chemistry (CHM) and
Chemical Engineering (CMT) Divisions. The Division Director will:
- Provide scientific leadership by enhancing the strengths and visibility
of existing basic and applied research programs, and seeking and developing
new research programs that use state-of-the-art science and engineering
to serve national needs;
- Recruit, hire, and retain world class science and
engineering talent;
- Provide management leadership for the division's
programs and its interfaces with all other parts and programs of
the Argonne National Laboratory, the Department of Energy and other sponsors;
and
- Foster and maintain high standards in ES&H and quality assurance
for all of the division's research activities and operations.
The programmatic portfolio includes Atomic, Molecular and Optical Science;
Chemical Dynamics; Solar Photochemistry; Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis;
Batteries, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen; Analytical Chemistry; Nuclear and Environmental
Chemistry and Technology; and National Security. The successful candidate
will have a strong record of accomplishment in chemistry and/or chemical engineering
and in program development, and a Ph.D. or equivalent in chemistry, chemical
engineering, or a related field. Managerial experience in a multi-program,
multidisciplinary research environment is highly desirable. Experience
with the opportunities afforded chemical and chemical engineering research
by the use of large scale scientific user facilities, such as synchrotron radiation
and neutron sources or nanoscience centers, would be valuable. Individual must
either have or be able to attain/maintain a “Q' level security clearance.
Argonne offers an excellent compensation and benefits package. For full consideration,
please apply by December 1, 2007. Send a curriculum vitae, list of publications
