Arlington, Texas
The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) invites nominations and applications for the position of Executive Director (ED) of the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI). The University seeks a dynamic, visionary leader who will advance the institute’s innovative research mission, and leading-edge capabilities in fabrication, robotics, machine learning, biomedical technologies, and manufacturing technologies. UTA is one of the fastest growing doctoral institutions in the nation, and this is an opportunity for the next Executive Director to advance and promote applied research and collaboration within the institution and to support industry and technology-based economic development in the Dallas-Fort Worth region and nation-wide.
Reporting to the Vice President for Research and Innovation, the ED will help position UTARI as a respected leader in engineering research and development by increasing the institute’s visibility in the community, strengthening partnerships, and identifying opportunities for greater research funding with a focus on applied research. The ED will develop, implement, and effectively communicate a vision that encourages productive collaborations across the university and with external partners. In doing so, the ED will oversee initiatives dedicated to catalyzing engineering research and development in UTARI’s current portfolio – establishing critical partnerships with other academic institutions, government agencies, major corporations, and local industry – while exploring new relevant opportunities to increase UTARI’s impact. As an advocate for UTARI and applied research activity, the ED will broadcast the institute’s compelling story to further generate financial support for the institute’s growth and expansion.
Successful candidates will possess a Ph.D. or terminal degree, a record of nationally recognized research and scholarship, and be eligible for tenure. They will also have a proven track record in building collaborations with diverse stakeholders and securing external research funding through grants and partnerships to support research missions.
