Overview
Inaugural Executive Director, Institute for Advanced Computing Virginia Tech – Greater Washington, D.C. Area Alexandria, Virginia Search and Role Overview
Virginia Tech invites nominations and applications for the position of the inaugural Executive Director of the Institute for Advanced Computing (IAC). The Executive Director will serve as the visionary and strategic leader responsible for shaping and growing the recently established Institute. Reporting to the Vice President for the Greater Washington D.C. Area, and working collaboratively with senior university leadership, the Executive Director will lead the IAC in becoming a national leader in advanced computing research and education. The successful candidate must be a highly collaborative leader with a demonstrated ability to foster cooperation across disciplinary, institutional, and organizational boundaries. The Executive Director will be expected to thrive in a distributed environment—both geographically, given Virginia Tech’s multi-campus presence, and organizationally, working effectively across diverse units and stakeholder groups. Equally important, the Executive Director should bring a strong record of program execution and partner engagement, including the capacity to translate strategic vision into operational success, deliver on complex initiatives, and sustain momentum across multiple priorities and constituencies. This is a rare opportunity for a bold, collaborative, and entrepreneurial leader to build a dynamic, interdisciplinary institute from the ground up—at the intersection of academia, government, and industry—in one of the most vibrant tech corridors in the country.
