Executive Director for Research Initiatives
Houston, TX, United States

Position Summary

The Ken Kennedy Institute at Rice University was established in 1986 and is dedicated to the advancement of research in the fields of AI, Data, and Computing. While most of the Institute’s members are in engineering and natural sciences, the Institute has members from several schools at Rice. The Institute fosters the development of fundamental and applied research in AI, Data, and Computing, and assists multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research efforts challenging traditional limits. The Institute fiercely supports activities that connect its members with each other, with other institutes at Rice, with its immediate community, including the Texas Medical Center, and globally with other universities, government labs, industry, and philanthropic and private foundations. The Institute coordinates large-scale proposals that are aligned with the mission of the Institute and Rice University. It also seeks to build an endowment to support research through top-tier graduate student recruiting, prestigious postdoctoral fellowships, and invitations to global scholars. The Ken Kennedy Institute works to create a sustainable eco-system that promotes long-term growth and international preeminence in AI, Data, and Computing.

In collaboration with the Faculty Director of the Institute and its Advisory Board, the Executive Director develops plans to achieve the Institute’s mission and strategic priorities and is responsible for directing the implementation of these plans. The primary responsibilities of the Executive director are (a) fund-raising, which includes identifying, qualifying, and developing potential funding sources and opportunities that will bring additional research funding aligned with the Institute’s research directions, and developing and writing proposals to leverage these opportunities in collaboration with interested faculty members; and (b) community-building internally and externally which includes facilitating intersecting research communities within the Institute, connecting them with researchers at other institutions at the local, national and international level, and establishing long-term strategic relationships and partnerships for the Institute (with state and federal agencies, industry, foundations, philanthropic entities, universities, the Texas Medical Center, and other relevant organizations). In addition, the Executive Director, aided by the Director of Operations of the Institute, leads the alignment of resources with the Institute’s mission and strategy, oversees the Institute’s administrative workload and programmatic activities, staff hiring, as well as their needs, and a plan for staff growth. The Executive Director reports to the Faculty Director of the Institute, and represents the Institute internally and externally as needed. The Executive Director will work closely with university administrators, associated faculty, postdoctoral and graduate students to fulfill the mission of the Institute.
