There is an opening for an Associate Program Director in the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) Division of the Engineering Directorate of the US National Science Foundation. I encourage those of you who might be interested to apply, or to bring this opportunity to the attention of qualified colleagues.
The Associate Program Director will support the activities of Program Directors in the CMMI Operation, Design, and Dynamics of Systems (ODDS) cluster, in particular the Service, Manufacturing, and Operations Research (SMOR) program and the Dynamics, Control, and System Diagnostics (DCSD) program. The position requires an earned doctorate in a relevant field, plus four years of subsequent related experience. The preferred candidate will have a background in Operations Research/Industrial Engineering, mechanical engineering, and/or aerospace engineering, with skills in managing office workflow.
Applications may reference either NSF Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) CMMI 16-004 (http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=cmmi16004) or USAJobs announcement CMMI-2016-0004 (https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/429147100/).
