This position is based on Stanford's main campus with consideration given to the option for a hybrid work schedule (at least three days onsite per week), subject to operational need.
The [Geballe Lab for Advanced Materials]) (GLAM) is a transdisciplinary Independent Laboratory within the Office of the Vice Provost & Dean of Research, which spearheads innovative, collaborative, and high-impact research in bio-inspired materials, sustainability, quantum science and engineering, and electronic and magnetic systems.
With 30 faculty and ~250 students, postdocs, and scientific staff spanning six home departments – primarily Physics, Applied Physics, and Materials Science & Engineering – GLAM's research portfolio is large, complex, and highly-heterogeneous, involving strong relationships with many Stanford academic and administrative units, SLAC, and federal and non-federal sponsors.
As GLAM gradually expands its community-led programming for interdisciplinary and social collaboration, it relies upon 16 high-performing administrative staff to provide comprehensive support to its researchers, trainees, visitors, and campus partners.
Our VPDoR Diversity Journey:
- We create a hub of innovation through the power of diversity of disciplines and people.

- We promote a culture of belonging, equity, and safety.
- We embed these values in excellence of education, research, and operation.
