 Departmental Overview 
The Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS - <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://bids.berkeley.edu" target="_blank">https://bids.berkeley.edu</a>) was founded in 2013 to build on Berkeley's strength in data science with a multidisciplinary emphasis. BIDS aims to facilitate and enhance the development and application of cutting-edge data science techniques in the biological, physical, social and engineering sciences. Today, BIDS is part of the new College of Computing, Data Science and Society (CDSS), where it serves as a hub for interdisciplinary research, tool development, and exchange of ideas between methodologies in computing, statistics and AI. BIDS connects with domain experts from across the entire disciplinary spectrum on campus, and hosts collaborations with local and national partners, including Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and NASA in the unique intellectual ecosystem of Berkeley. 
As CDSS further advances UC Berkeley's eminence in Data Science research and education, BIDS is entering a new era. It will serve as a central hub connecting scholars on campus, as well as reaching out to other Berkeley institutions including LBNL, the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute, the Space Sciences Laboratory, the International Computer Science Institute, and the SkyDeck Startup Incubator. BIDS' expertise in open source tool development and open science makes it an ideal place to be a home for communities of practice around open knowledge, at a time when both open source software is becoming the norm for research computing, and when open science ideas become part of national science policies across multiple agencies. From this perspective, BIDS will help scholars from different fields to find shared needs, interests and ideas and build new collaborations. 
BIDS also aims to foster conversations regarding the role of Science and Society in the development of new tools and systems for AI. As a discipline-neutral environment, it will provide open space for emerging work ranging from the representation of scientific knowledge in AI models and the use of AI as a scientific instrument, to explorations with social scientists and humanists of questions at the intersection of the human experience, our social context and the role of AI in our lives.
The Executive Director will take a leadership role in managing and developing the Institute's research programs and representing these programs to outside organizations. Under the direction of the BIDS faculty director, the ED will develop the vision and corresponding agenda to achieve the Institute's objectives. The incumbent will oversee all elements of program administration, facilitate collaborations among multiple research groups from across the campus as well as with partner organizations, and provide leadership in identifying outreach services. The Executive Director will work under the direction of the Institute's academic leadership to formulate strategic goals and objectives, direct long-term planning, and develop policies and procedures, and raise funding from external sources. This individual will be considered a subject matter expert on campus and is recognized as an expert externally in the field.
All applicants are strongly encouraged to visit the BIDS website for a detailed description of various initiatives and programs, and to read the BIDS faculty director's vision for the coming years: <a href="https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=5184681&amp;targetURL=https://bit.ly/bids24-director-vision" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/bids24-director-vision</a>.
