[labnetwork] Scientific/Managing Director - Job Description Guidance

[Sandrine Martin]

Hello Brian,

Here is the brief description that we recently used at the U. Michigan
Lurie Nanofabrication Facility. Quite similar to what was just sent for the
Tel Aviv MNCF.

The Managing Director will be ultimately accountable for the seamless,
socially responsible, and uninterrupted operation of the LNF.  In addition,
the Managing Director will assure that space, facilities, safety, planning,
finances, human resources, information technology, and the effective and
efficient daily operations of a multi-disciplinary and highly complex
organizational structure of students, faculty, companies, and plant
personnel can proceed with minimal disruptions to user needs.  Further, the
Managing Director will be responsible for developing, training, motivating,
mentoring, and leading a diverse staff of professionals while assuring
effective delegation of their work product and assuring adherence to all
university and College policies.
Requirements: Ph.D. degree in science or engineering. Ten years of
demonstrated progressive, mature, goal-oriented, non-risk adverse judgment
and experience in the administration and management of a highly diverse and
technical research organization.  Five years experience in semiconductor,
or equivalent, cleanroom operation with a thorough knowledge of
semiconductor processes and tooling.  Three years of demonstrated ability
to create, support, and justify complex financial and disciplined budgetary
models in support of a user facility depending on a recharge model.

Good luck!
Sandrine
