Position Summary:

The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (UW ICTR) discovers and disseminates interventions to advance the translation of clinically relevant research findings into clinical practice and the improvement of health in Wisconsin. Through the interdisciplinary nature of the UW ICTR (Schools of Medicine and Public Health, Nursing, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy and the College of Engineering), ICTR seeks to change the campus research culture from 'silos' to collaborations, promoting the development of the biomedical translational workforce, growing the scope of human subjects research through clinical and health informatics and clinical trials, and developing meaningful partnerships with the academic health system.

With a change in leadership, ICTR has completed a strategic planning process to serve as a guidepost for programmatic development and resource allocation. Major components of this plan include focused development in clinical and health informatics, learning health systems, clinical research support, workforce development and training programs for inclusive excellence, community engagement, and inclusion of special populations in research. These components are supported by a management team consisting of evaluation/continuous improvement, operations, project management, and fiscal personnel who report to the Administrative Director.

The Institute is managed by a shared leadership model involving the Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director. The leadership looks to the Administrative Director to help transition ICTR into a paradigm for innovation and administrative best practices. The Administrative Director will work with a team of associate/assistant directors leading specific thematic areas in the Institute.

The Administrator is responsible for the overall leadership of the management team. He/she serves as a delegate of the Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director, and ensures that the leadership is apprised of- and fully utilizes available resources. The Administrative Director will be responsible for centralizing some administrative functions that support cross-cutting Institute activities and for coordinating with other administrative functions that use a de-centralized model.

The School of Medicine and Public Health has a deep and profound commitment to diversity both as an end in itself but, also as a valuable means for eliminating health disparities. As such, we strongly encourage applications from candidates who foster and promote the values of diversity and inclusion.
