Subject: Nominations sought for next NSF Assistant Director for CISE
Colleagues,
I am on the screening committee for the next Assistant Director of
the CISE directorate at the National Science Foundation. The
committee is currently seeking nominations for candidates to succeed
the current AD, Dr. Peter Freeman. Peter has ably led CISE through
a number of changes and challenges, and the next AD will face a
number of new challenges as well as opportunities to help influence
national computing research policy and funding in the coming years.
Candidates may be nominated by anyone, or self-nominated.
Candidates do not need to be certain that they want the job (yet) --
after the screening committee comes up with a short list of
candidates, NSF management will discuss the position with candidates
to determine interest and best fit. Thus, feel free to nominate
people you believe to be well-qualified candidates even if they might
not yet be sure that they want the position -- or may not have even
considered it!
Good candidates are those who:
* have a notable record of achievement in research and teaching
* have strong "people skills"
* have good administrative skills
* are excellent communicators
* have some vision and involvement with computing beyond a narrow
area of expertise
Candidates may currently be in private industry or government
positions as well as in academic positions.
Nominations can be made via email to <cisesrch@xxxxxxx>. More
details may be found in the "Dear Colleague" letter by Dr. Arden
Bement, the director of NSF; a copy of that letter is enclosed, and a
copy may be found at <http://homes.cerias.purdue.edu/~spaf/trans/NSF-
CISE.pdf>. I expect that a copy will also be placed on the NSF CISE
website in the coming days.
Please help the committee identify someone excellent who can help us
all advance the field and NSF's mission. You can do this through
nominating qualified individuals, and by passing this call on to
others (and other mailing lists) where it will reach qualified
individuals.
And when you get an opportunity, thank Peter Freeman for his service
to the community, with his time at NSF simply being the latest instance.
Regards,
--gene spafford
