About the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology
The College of Computing has been a leader in defining modern computing as a paradigm that combines the foundations of theoretical mathematics and information science, the force of invention in computational systems and processes, and interdisciplinary practice that integrates innovation in computing with all facets of life. Today, the college comprises five schools that offer unique academic programs and conduct research specifically related to their concentration areas: Computer Science, Computing Instruction, Cybersecurity and Privacy, Interactive Computing, and Computational Science and Engineering.

Atlanta, GA

The College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology invites nominations and applications for the position of Chair of the School of Computing Instruction for the Atlanta campus located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The Chair will have the opportunity to build upon the success of the School and the College of Computing. With more students graduating with a Computer Science degree than any other major at Georgia Tech and the Institute's requirement that every student complete at least one programming course, quality instruction on the foundations of computing has never been more important. The School of Computing Instruction (SCI) was created to serve these critical needs within Georgia Tech and beyond. Our award-winning teaching-focused faculty have three core missions:

Platform for Creativity and Innovation. SCI's creative faculty boldly experiment with new ideas and approaches to pedagogy, while continually re-examining proven methods to ensure their approach is effective and practical across a different set of courses and students. Ultimately, we consider SCI a platform for meaningful experimentation and invite collaborations both within and beyond Georgia Tech to further push the envelope in computing education research, practice and outreach.

Scalability of Computing Instruction. SCI's faculty design and serve as primary instructors for the College's array of introductory computer science courses, direct the junior design/capstone program for our undergraduate computing majors, and teach a selection of upper-division and graduate level courses that reflect our faculty's varied interests. At the undergraduate level, SCI faculty teach a third of the College's 1000-4000 level course offerings or half of the nearly 9000 undergraduate computing course seats each semester. Further, we reach tens of thousands of GT graduate students and non-GT students through special initiatives, such as MOOCs and the state of Georgia's dual enrollment high school program.

Transparency and Meaningful Dialogue. While the main source of recognition we desire is from the numerous learners our faculty reach, we seek to foster meaningful dialogue and to share what works and what does not work in practice, in order to inspire others to attempt new ideas in computing education. We will use SCI's platform to encourage the distribution of information and (of course) to learn from others. We aspire to be leaders in the conversation on computing education.

Reporting to the Dean of the College of Computing, the Chair has overall responsibility for the academic program in the School of Computing Instruction specifically focusing on all budgetary, administrative, academic, fiscal, and personal decisions in conjunction with the mission and goals of the College and Georgia Tech. The chair must have a forward-thinking strategic vision, the ability to implement that vision, and the necessary skills to lead a group of faculty and staff. Additionally, the Chair will provide overall leadership for all the school's teaching components at the undergraduate level. The Chair should establish collaborative and interdisciplinary relationships with others Computing School Chairs, with other leaders in the College, as well as all internal and external constituents at Georgia Tech and abroad.

It is rare that we do not get candidates we represent interviews and offers. No one in the world is better at legal recruiting and placement than BCG Attorney Search.

BCG Attorney Search will confidentially review your application and will not forward your materials to the firm without first discussing the opportunity with you.

About GT Molecular

GT Molecular is a fast-growing biotechnology company and Stanford University spin-out headquartered in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado. We deliver ultrasensitive multiplex digital PCR (dPCR) and qPCR assays powered by our proprietary chemistry—enabling superior sensitivity, robust multiplexing, and reliable detection at low concentrations. Our platforms support end-to-end testing services and commercial kits for oncology research, pathogen detection (SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, RSV, mpox, Polio, Measles, and more), illicit drug monitoring in wastewater, microbial source tracking, and emerging environmental testing (including PFAS/forever chemicals).

Our mission drives public health, environmental surveillance, and cancer research forward. With recent milestones like our CLIA laboratory, CDC's NWSS Multi-Pathogen Assay Development Contract, expanding environmental services, and new hires in lab management and bioinformatics, we're at a pivotal growth stage needing strong operational leadership to scale our proprietary dPCR technology across services and kits.

The Role

In this hands-on role, you will own and scale day-to-day execution across manufacturing, laboratory services, supply chain, quality, and facilities. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll build professional operations infrastructure to support rapid growth in PCR kit production and NGS / digital PCR testing services - with a focus on high-throughput workflows, operationalizing our proprietary dPCR chemistry for consistent performance, efficiency, compliance, and scalability in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead PCR kit manufacturing, including scaling production of multiplex dPCR and qPCR panels incorporating our proprietary chemistry (enzymes, formulations, and reagents); manage supply chain/vendor relationships, inventory, lot-to-lot consistency, and quality to meet demand from CLIA labs, academics, municipalities, and public health partners.
• Optimize operations for microbiology and high-risk testing services, with emphasis on routine wastewater surveillance for pathogens and small molecules (e.g., illicit drugs) using our ultrasensitive dPCR platform and proprietary chemistry in CLIA/high-complexity labs; drive high-throughput workflow efficiency, capacity planning during volume surges, 24–48 hour turnaround, chain-of-custody, and biosafety (BSL-2+) compliance.
• Drive technology transfer from R&D to Operations (including new dPCR assays and chemistry enhancements) and oversee implementation of LIMS systems to enhance throughput, data management, and process automation.
• Collaborate closely with the part-time CLIA consultant (serving as Laboratory Director) and lab teams to integrate lab ops with company-wide processes—focusing on throughput, cost control, resource allocation, and non-technical scaling during growth phases.
• Oversee quality systems and regulatory compliance (CLIA, CAP, ISO 13485, FDA EUA/IVD pathways, or similar highly regulated environments a strong plus), risk management, and continuous improvement across manufacturing and services, ensuring proprietary chemistry integrity and assay performance.
• Drive cross-functional alignment (e.g., quality, facilities, IT, automation, project management) with R&D, sales, bioinformatics, and finance to support revenue growth, forecast needs, and enable new service lines (e.g., deep sequencing and PFAS/environmental testing).
• Build and mentor a growing operations team (production, lab ops, logistics, quality) with experience scaling high-throughput operations preferred.
• Implement tools to eliminate bottlenecks, drive cost/efficiency gains, and manage budgets effectively.

Qualifications

• 8–12+ years of progressive operations leadership in life sciences, ideally in molecular diagnostics, genomics, PCR/NGS manufacturing, clinical/reference labs, or biotech services.
• Leadership of high-throughput core facilities (e.g., NGS, mass spectrometry, proteomics, or molecular diagnostics cores) is a plus, with hands-on experience NGS, PCR multiplex assays, proprietary enzyme/chemistry platforms, pathogen/small molecule detection, technology transfer, and LIMS implementation also valued.
• At least a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (Biological sciences, Chemistry); PhD, HCLD certification, or MBA preferred.
• Direct experience with validating and introducing molecular assays into a production environment.
• Strong knowledge of regulated workflows and quality/regulatory standards (CLIA/CAP, ISO 15189/13485, FDA oversight, or multi-site lab management a plus).
• Proven ability to deliver fast turnaround in service labs and scale production without compromising quality.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and collaboration skills; comfortable working with scientific founders/CEOs and empowering technical teams.
• Fort Collins/Colorado-based or willing to relocate; excited about public health impact and the collaborative foothills lifestyle.

What We Offer

• Base salary range: $160,000–$220,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications
• Meaningful equity (ownership in a growing company), performance-based bonus potential, and comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, 401(k) with match
• High-impact role with direct CEO access during a key growth phase
• Collaborative culture in scenic Fort Collins—outdoor access, innovative biotech community
