Status Regular Full-Time Requisition ID 22-25013 City Portland
State/Province OR Department Research Administration Avg Hours Per
Week 40 FTE 1.00 Pay Range Commensurate with Experience FLSA Status
Exempt Union Non-union Work Days Mon-Fri, no weekends Overview
Advocate, leader, scientist, entrepreneur, connector. The many
roles of the vice president of research and the Legacy Research
Institute demand the best of today's professional world. Those
qualities will be required to thrive within two seemingly opposite
realms. This vice president will live part of each day surrounded
by the best and the brightest minds of scientific research. Then,
within moments, the leader will have to pivot with ease to the
corridors of national health organizations, foundations, finance,
and commercial enterprise. The scope of the vice president's
responsibilities thus requires the ability to speak plainly about
challenging clinical and biomedical research, and development. At
the same time, this role also demands foot-in-the-soil gravity:
Research and development must be transformed into hard-earned
strategic plans, administrative oversight, and outcomes. The wide
breadth of these duties calls for an individual of high emotional
intelligence and stellar science IQ, along with C-Level
administrative acumen. Like every Legacy system leader, the vice
president is an individual driven by integrity and the ideals of
diversity, equity, and inclusion. This vice president will always
be responsive to the safety and needs of every employee, no matter
where that employee sits on the organizational chart. Doing the
right thing is the only choice for this individual. The
qualifications of the vice president might look like those of two
leaders, not one. This is truly a rare position calling for unique
mindsets and skills. Indeed, a rare talent will be needed to fill
it. A medical degree or an international equivalent by the
candidate is preferred, as well as in the trenches experience
working in or with the clinical research and development sectors.
At least five years of progressive research management experience
with a concrete record of attracting major federal funding
(example: NIH R01) is desired. The position's clinical and
biomedical research, and outcomes bona fides demand a candidate who
similarly understands the inner workings of national research
organizations. The vice president will have mastered the creation
and execution of high-level strategic plans regarding scientific
research. These skills must be complemented by someone who has deep
connections to the commercial and philanthropic worlds. The goal is
to use those connections to transform Legacy Health's research into
opportunities that will benefit and impact our patients and
communities.
Good health for our people, our patients, our communities, and our
world - these are not just words. They are commitments that form
the core of our mission, and we take them seriously. That mission
matches a profound and serious footprint: Legacy Health is a
locally owned, nonprofit, six-hospital health system that also
includes full-service children's hospital and more than 70 primary
care, specialty and urgent care clinics, a research institute,
14,000 employees and nearly 3,000 health care providers. We provide
comprehensive primary, secondary and tertiary care services across
the Portland and Vancouver metro area and mid-Willamette Valley.
From rural areas to urban centers, we play a critical role in the
lives of 2.5 million people. The Vice President of Research and
