As the Scientific Director of the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba, you are responsible for:
- advancing the Institute's research vision;
- shaping a focused and distinctive research identity; and,
- ensuring that research is integrated with CCMB's broader mandate for cancer control, care, education, and innovation.
A central task for the incoming Vice President & Scientific Director is to define a scientific vision of where the Institute will lead. CCMB is large enough to build genuine critical mass in selected areas and small enough that a single leader's scientific judgement can shape the whole portfolio. The Vice President will have the latitude to:
- concentrate investment;
- recruit to defined priorities; and,
- build research programs of national and international standing.
The Vice President of Research and Scientific Director requires a highly credible research leader with the scientific depth, executive presence, operational discipline and partnership orientation to lead a complex research enterprise within a provincial cancer authority.
Candidates inspired by the opportunities and challenges of leading a well-established progressive organization in a fast-paced rapidly evolving industry and who have the leadership ability to create the environment conducive to service excellence, results achievement, responsiveness and accountability will want to explore this rare opportunity.
