Institutional Review Board Director (Human Research Protection Program) - Hybrid

Come join the Georgia Tech family and see what all the "buzz" is about! 

The Georgia Institute of Technology is seeking an energetic, knowledgeable leader to serve as the next IRB Director.

The IRB Director oversees day-to-day operations of the IRB office in support of the review and approval of all sponsored and unsponsored human subjects research performed by Georgia Institute of Technology faculty, students and staff to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, standards, and institutional policies and procedures. The Director provides leadership, training and support to the IRB chair, board members, study teams, and IRB staff on ethical principles, laws, regulations, policies and business processes regarding the review and conduct of human subjects research at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech faculty, staff and student investigators conduct a broad array of cutting-edge human subjects research including studies in the social, behavioral and international research realms. Biomedical research involves interventional FDA-regulated clinical trials in collaboration with other academic universities and research centers.
