Duties
The ETB Director is responsible for planning and directing a comprehensive program in the discovery of pharmacological tools to probe the function of the human genome and to understand and improve the processes underlying early discovery. Research areas include the discovery of probe molecules to interrogate biology and de-risk disease hypotheses, using approaches such as high-throughput screening and computational methods, developing innovative methods for assaying the biological activity of novel gene targets and pathways, with a commitment to an open approach to sharing methodologies and data. ETB leverages state-of-the-art discovery resources - including robotic high-throughput screening facilities, compound management, and analytical chemistry - to deliver on this mission.
This position will serve as a senior leader for the science and administration of this large and complex early translation program and serve as the spokesperson for the Branch at conferences and various stakeholder meetings, both nationally and internationally. In consultation with the NCATS Scientific Director (SD), the position is responsible for managing the research portfolio of ETB, ensuring ETB adapts to shifting discovery paradigms where necessary to remain state-of-the-art in its field, and enabling effective partnerships with other programs within DPI and NCATS. In partnership with the NCATS SD, the position is responsible for establishing the goals and objectives for the ETB, ensuring alignment with the goals and objectives determined at higher levels within the Center, and managing a collaborative portfolio of preclinical projects. The position is also responsible for developing long and short-range plans and establishing priorities, determining the resources required to support planned activities, and developing and defending annual budgets for the program.
