Overview
Senior Director of STEM-S Research and Data Science Initiatives, Atlanta University Center Consortium, Inc. (AUCC).
The Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUCC), the world's oldest and largest association of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), invites applications and nominations for the position of Senior Director of STEM-S Research and Data Science Initiatives. The Senior Director will provide strategic leadership in advancing STEM-S and Data Science education and pedagogies. The role coordinates data science and STEM at four renowned HBCUs (Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Spelman College) and aims to positively impact the future careers of students in data-related fields.
AUCC Data Science Initiative The AUCC Data Science Initiative is a collaborative effort designed to create a data-literate workforce equipped to address 21st-century challenges through an interdisciplinary approach. By embedding data science into the core of the Consortium’s academic and research infrastructure, the AUCC aims to foster a new generation of scholars and professionals poised to lead in an increasingly data-driven world. The Data Science Initiative has progressed since its establishment in 2018, has supported over 44 AUCC faculty in developing data science research and curricula, and has established minors at all four AUCC institutions. It has received strong internal support and external funding from public and private sources, including Mastercard, UnitedHealth Group, Microsoft, Home Depot, and Google, among others.
The Senior Director will continue to develop the Data Science Institute by promoting emerging data science educational programs, facilitating interdisciplinary industry and government partnerships, and community outreach. With the ability to translate a collective vision into actionable strategies, the Senior Director synthesizes input from faculty, staff, and institutional leaders to build a cohesive roadmap for the consortium’s success. One of the exciting challenges will be to set a common vision for success for Data Science in the AUCC that inspires and attracts faculty and students to the academic ecosystem for Data Science.
The strategic path forward will involve collaborative and inter-institutional work and will embrace and respect the individual missions and cultures at all of the institutions. The Senior Director will bring exceptional communication and listening skills to facilitate the future success for Data Science at the AUCC. The ultimate goal is for the Data Science Initiative to be one of the leading efforts in cutting-edge education and research in the region and in the nation.
