Director, Center for Medical and Industrial Ultrasound
University of Washington Employment Req.#: 31343
Posted: 22 March 2007
The University of Washington's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL-UW) is seeking a dynamic and visionary leader to direct the Center for Industrial & Medical Ultrasound (CIMU). This interdisciplinary organization of approximately 45 scientists, staff, physicians and students currently operates on a $5.5M annual budget. Its mission is to foster intra- and extramural research collaborations on ultrasound projects; develop industrial and medical ultrasound technology; form industrial partnerships to translate technology for clinical and commercial applications; and educate and train students and technical professionals working in the fields of industrial and medical ultrasound.
CIMU is one of eight departments at APL-UW. The laboratory, a premier center for research, development and advanced education in science and engineering, is a leader in the basic and applied physics of sound — from sonars used to probe the deep ocean and seafloor to hand-held high-intensity focused ultrasound devices to non-invasively detect and treat bleeding.
The successful applicant will bring a record of leading moderate to large-sized technical and/or research departments or organizations and producing world-class biomedical research and/or technology development. Active areas of research in CIMU include but are not limited to: image-guided ultrasound therapy, diagnostic ultrasound, shock wave therapy, sonoluminescence, sonochemistry, nonlinear acoustics and ultrasound-mediated drug delivery; candidates pursuing research programs in these or related areas are especially desirable. Individuals also must demonstrate scientific management skills including sound resource management, team-building, advocacy, conflict resolution, negotiation, and strategic planning. While APL-UW is not an academic unit of the UW, the Director, Center for Industrial and Medical Ultrasound will be expected to establish faculty status and/or collaborations in a UW academic department and share in the supervision of graduate students in departments such as Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. or equivalent experience in a relevant technical field is required.
- Applicants should have a minimum of 10 years professional experience and supervisory or equivalent management experience.
- U.S. Citizenship is required.
