2 weeks ago

Oakland, California, United States University of California, Office of the President Full time

The University of California, Office of the President invites nominations and applications for the role of Vice President, National Laboratories (VPNL). Reporting to the President of the University of California, Dr. Michael V. Drake, MD, the VPNL is responsible for the UC National Laboratories division (UCNL) division of the University of California Office of the President (UCOP).

The University of California (UC) provides contract management and oversight of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and ensures UC obligations for the limited liability companies (LLCs) that operate Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). LBNL is managed solely by UC under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, with a FY2024 budget of ~$1.1 billion. LLNL (FY2024 budget ~$3 billion) and LANL (FY2024 budget ~$5 billion) are under the purview of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and managed through Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC and Triad National Security, LLC, respectively.

The UC considers its role supporting the laboratories' work to be a dimension of its remarkable commitment to public service in the nation's interest. The federal government depends on the laboratories to bring world-leading expertise and facilities to address the DOE missions of science, security, energy, and the environment. The VPNL leads, directs, and oversees the University's relationships with the three Department of Energy national laboratories that it operates, serves as the University's principal liaison to the Department of Energy in all matters of policy, contract management, and accountability for the laboratories, and represents the University's national-laboratory mission area to the UC Board of Regents.

UCNL plays a central role in managing the University's prime contract administration and governance at Berkeley Lab and for the University's participation in the governance of LANL and LLNL as a member of the two limited liability companies that manage those labs. For all three national laboratories, the VPNL and their staff ensure that laboratory leadership, The Regents, the Office of the President, and the relevant governing boards have the necessary information to effectively advance world-class research in science, technology, and engineering while supporting that research with excellent performance in operations and business, compliance, and stewardship.

The VPNL is responsible for assuring that the highest standards of quality and integrity distinguish the national laboratories' work, in addition to adherence to DOE requirements. The VPNL works closely with the Laboratory Directors, other University leadership, UC Regents, DOE/NNSA, the UC Academic Senate, UC campus leaders, and other UC advisory bodies to accomplish assigned responsibilities, drive management and operational improvement, and assure excellence in science and technology as well as mission performance. The VPNL is a member of the governing boards of the LLC's that manage Livermore and Los Alamos labs and plays a significant role in the University's oversight of Berkeley Lab. The VPNL leads a team of 12, supplemented when needed by external subject-matter experts as initiatives may require.
