Stanford University School of Medicine, is seeking a Director for the Stanford Center for Innovation in In-vivo Imaging, (SCi3).  The Director will provide financial, operational, and scientific/technical leadership for a world-class small animal imaging facility located in the School of Medicine.

The mission of the SCi3 is to provide access to state-of-the-art and first-of-its-kind preclinical imaging instruments to facilitate translation of research from in-vitro tests to small animal investigations and clinical practice.  This enables assessments of new technologies, novel drugs/tracers, variable phenotypes and novel biological concepts in living murine models.  

Duties include:

• Work with Stanford faculty researchers to develop and update strategic plans to maintain a state-of-the-art instrumentation facility. 
• Strategic plans include the development of funds to cover new instrument purchases, cover the instrument maintenance contracts, and manage the limited space available. This requires the Director to write successful instrumentation grants for the Center.

• Collaborate with faculty and scientific staff to develop new approaches to small animal imaging.
• Engage with instrumentation developers to pilot new applications of their instruments.
• Provide training on the use of instrumentation within the facility.
• Mentor users in the design of imaging experiments, including determining the best imaging modality to answer a particular scientific question.
• Manage day-to-day operations of the various branches of the SCi3 facility. This includes ensuring that all workstation computers are compliant with SoM IT requirements, and the maintaining of core servers for user data storage and retrieval.
• Work with School of Medicine financial staff annually, to develop break-even rates and then assume responsible for monitoring income and adjusting the spending of the center such that the center is within 15% of breakeven at fiscal year-end.
