Depthfirst Ceo Jobs in Usa

Reports to: CEO

Supervises: Visiting Scholars; Event Management Staff; Vendors, Volunteers, Program Support Consultants

Location: Sarasota, Florida (on-site)

OUR MISSION

The Elling Eide Center is a nonprofit research library, nature preserve, and scholarly retreat located on 72 acres of rare coastal habitat in Sarasota, Florida. Named after sinologist and preservationist Elling Oliver Eide (1935–2012), the Center’s mission is to advance scholarly research in the humanities and environmental sciences with a particular emphasis on Asian studies. The Center is home to one of the most significant private collections of East Asian literature, history, and related fields in the United States, as well as one of the last remaining reserves of biodiversity in an increasingly urbanized Florida coastline. Our scholarly programs going forward will thus highlight our Center’s strengths in pre-modern Chinese Studies while finding new ways to connect with the Center’s landscape and living collections.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Director of Scholarly Programs and Education is responsible for shaping and helping to lead the overall research identity and multi-year research agenda of the Elling Eide Center in Sarasota, Florida.

We are seeking a rare individual to help us advance our approach to scholarship that provides students and scholars with unique opportunities to address critical questions that advance knowledge in fields connected to the Center’s mission. The successful candidate’s research and program interests will enable them to lead scholarly programs focused on Elling Eide’s own strong interests in sinology and ecology, as well as the pre-history and languages of the Native American people who once lived on our preserve. We seek a director who can strengthen the Center’s goal of making broad contributions to human knowledge.

To achieve so ambitious a mandate over the next five to ten years, this role will likely need to grow a whole education department and at first will coordinate the work of others more than produce original research. The Director of Scholarly Programs and Education is thus responsible for ensuring timely implementation, logistical coordination, and smooth delivery of all Center-led activities. The Director will work closely with the Director of the Eide Library and the Director of Land Management and Environmental Programs to facilitate engaging, mission-aligned programs and experiences both online and in person that expand community engagement and scholarly participation while contributing new insight to those arts and sciences so loved by Elling Eide.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop partnerships with other leading research institutions to promote all areas of our research agenda
