Job Summary:
The University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks candidates for the position of Director of the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC). The WNPRC’s mission is to increase our understanding of basic primate biology and to improve human and animal health and quality of life through research.
The WNPRC is one of a network of eight unique national facilities for nonhuman primate research funded through the Office of the Director (OD) and the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Key areas of research supported by the Center include, but are not limited to, Infectious Disease, Neuroscience, Reproductive and Regenerative Medicine, and Energy Metabolism and Chronic Disease. The Director will provide dynamic scientific leadership and administrative oversight of the Center’s ongoing scientific programs and diverse research resources for the UW-Madison and the national scientific community.
In cooperation with leading researchers, the Director will develop and execute long-term plans for the continued excellence and advancement of primate research. The Director will oversee all management and financial activities of the Center, with the assistance of administrative staff. The Director will assist university faculty and staff, and national investigators in developing programs in key areas of research interest in a broad array of biomedical studies, including primate models of human disorders, and ensure the successful interaction of the Center’s administrative components with the research program of WNPRC scientists. The Director also will work to promote the cooperative use of the Center’s research infrastructure, including animal colonies, core facilities, and shared use facilities, on campus and nationally. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, as well as the ability to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, students, and administration within the University at large, and with related academic and research organizations and associations, and members of the national scientific community, are essential.
The Director also will be responsible for renewal of the NIH P51 base grant, for annual progress reports to federal and university offices, for submission of research, facility, and shared equipment grants, and for preparation of additional reports as required by the OD. The Director will ensure compliance of the Center’s policies related to research, biosafety, employee health and safety, and animal welfare with all federal, state, and local regulations.
This position reports to the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education.
Responsibilities:
The Director will manage external relations efficiently and effectively, both within the UW-Madison and in the wider community, to facilitate support and collaboration for the WNPRC’s research and outreach activities.
