Position Summary
The Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) in the Directorate for Engineering seeks to fill two Program Director positions in the Dynamics, Control and Cognition cluster, leading the Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics Program. The Dynamics, Control and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD) program promotes the fundamental science and engineering of dynamic systems to advance solutions to urgent societal problems. Recognizing that dynamic systems lie at the heart of current and emerging imperatives, the DCSD program supports research programs that match innovative research in dynamic systems with compelling applications. DCSD also welcomes research that demonstrates how these applications inform our understanding of dynamic systems, and how foundational knowledge must be further advanced to broaden the usefulness of dynamic systems approaches to new areas of application. More information about the DCSD program is found on the .
The DCSD Program is managed and led by a team of Program Directors, who participate in several cross-cutting initiatives within the National Science Foundation, and breadth of experience in such initiatives is required. The position requires a commitment to high standards of intellectualism and ethical conduct, a considerable breadth of interest, receptivity to new ideas, a strong sense of fairness, good judgment, and a high degree of personal integrity.

Within this context, Program Directors solicit, receive and review research and education proposals, make funding recommendations, administer awards, and undertake interaction with research communities in these fields. They are also responsible for service to Foundation-wide activities and initiatives that together accomplish NSF's strategic goals to: Empower STEM talent to fully participate in science and engineering Create new knowledge about our universe, the world and ourselves Benefit society by translating knowledge into solutions and Excel as a Federal Agency.
