Assistant Director, Bioengineering

Overview

Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science recently launched the Princeton Bioengineering Initiative to highlight and enhance trailblazing research at the intersection of human health and society. Princeton Bioengineering Initiative is seeking an Assistant Director to work closely with the faculty Director of this initiative to establish and shepherd Bioengineering programs and oversee Bioengineering's day-to-day operations. Bioengineering will be growing and evolving rapidly over the coming years and this position will assist in hiring processes for adding faculty, staff, and researchers as well as coordinate the move into a newly built building specifically designed for modern bioengineering research.

The candidate must have the capacity to help envision and develop new programming, coordinate new interdisciplinary initiatives, and establish and foster marketing and branding strategies. This person will develop the initiative's budget in collaboration with the Director and be responsible for the careful and appropriate management of funds and resources and coordinate grant proposal production. The Assistant Director will perform and oversee day-to-day operations; cultivate high-profile research collaborations and public events, often with other Princeton departments and centers as well as external institutions; and manage public communications, website and print materials. The Assistant Director will be able to represent the Director at meetings, present at programs, report results, and exchange information with University representatives and the broader Bioengineering research community.
