Overview
The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network ( is a group of nonprofit research institutes that bring together scientists, engineers, and physicians with the goal of pursuing grand scientific challenges on 10- to 15-year time horizons. The CZ Biohub Network focuses on understanding underlying mechanisms of disease and developing new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies . We pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments
The technologies developed at the CZ Biohub Network facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond
Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) and our network of Biohubs are dedicated to accelerating the pace of biomedical research to help cure, prevent, or manage all disease. We are launching a new scientific program to tackle some of the toughest challenges in modeling, predicting and engineering the human immune system.
This new, large-scale initiative will serve as an integrative engine across CZI Science and our Biohub Network in San Francisco, New York, and Chicago, uniting their unique data generation capabilities with our strengths in AI and technology. We are seeking a Director of Science Operations to be an operational leader for this program, ensuring our groundbreaking science is matched by operational excellence.
This is not traditional PMO role. You will be a strategic partner, embedded directly within the scientific mission, responsible for driving the execution and fostering the collaborative culture needed to achieve our ambitious goals.
Drive Scientific Portfolio & Resource Strategy: Lead the data-driven process for resource planning, budget management, and strategic prioritization across the VIS portfolio. You will provide the critical analysis that enables leadership to make informed decisions, ensuring our investments in data generation, AI modeling, and technology are aligned for maximum scientific impact.
Lead Network Integration: You will proactively identify dependencies, clear roadblocks, and build the durable connective tissue required for a seamless, multi-site research collaboration.
Champion a positive but practical culture that balances ambitious scientific discovery with the discipline of execution. You will mentor team members, facilitate transparent communication, and ensure that a spirit of open science and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Serve as a Strategic Partner to Leadership: Act as a key advisor and thought partner to the VIS scientific leadership team. You will represent the operational health and progress of the initiative in leadership forums and help shape its strategic direction.
A Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD (preferred) in a relevant scientific or engineering field (e.g., Biomedical Engineering, Immunology, Computational Biology) combined with 10+ years of demonstrated experience in strategy, operations, and team leadership within life sciences, biotech, or a complex research organization.
Deep experience leading cross-functional teams and complex programs, particularly those at the intersection of biology and computation/AI.
Exceptional financial acumen and experience managing multi-million dollar R&D budgets and performing complex resource planning.
A demonstrated commitment to the principles of open science and a deep alignment with the mission and values of CZI and the Biohub Network.
Resources to disrupt and innovate at the frontiers of our knowledge of biology and disease
An environment where nothing is considered impossible, where bold and creative thinking are the norm, and where a collaborative culture allows teams of people from multiple disciplines to accomplish more than any single person can achieve alone
Our benefits include healthcare coverage, life and disability insurance, commuter subsidies, family planning services with fertility care, childcare stipend, 401(k) match, flexible time off and a generous parental leave policy. In addition, we honor our commitment to career development and our value of scholarly excellence through regular onsite opportunities to learn from the world's leading scientists.
