role is responsible for the scientific vision, direction, productivity, innovation capacity, and overall excellence of EOL’s research and development programs, including the formulation and implementation of strategic plans, budgets, and priorities of the
lab. These responsibilities are carried out in coordination with the NCAR Director and in close alignment with the NCAR strategic plan and other programmatic priorities. The Lab Director fosters interaction and collaboration between NCAR and UCAR staff and
programs and the external scientific community. The role of NCAR Associate Director affords responsibility in the overall leadership and management of NCAR. NCAR Associate Directors support the NCAR Director on NCAR-wide matters and act in the best interest
of NCAR and not a particular lab. They serve on the NCAR Executive Committee, foster cross NCAR collaboration, may serve as Acting NCAR Director in the absence of the NCAR Director, and can lead initiatives that are NCAR-wide. They also foster interaction
and collaboration between NCAR and UCAR staff and programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

as demonstrated by a current research record of considerable depth and breadth on topics relevant to the NCAR strategic mission, research, and goals is highly desired. The new Lab Director will have demonstrated successful leadership and administration of
complex research, development, operations, instrumentation/observational platforms, and personnel activities; success working with a broad range of constituencies; breadth of interest, vision, and judgment; advanced communication, organizational, and change
management skills; and a strong commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion.
