About This Opportunity

Join IBHS as a Building Materials Research Director and lead the strategic direction of our laboratory operations while advancing applied research on severe convective storms. This is a unique dual-focus role that combines hands-on laboratory leadership (70%) with active scientific research and innovation (30%). You'll manage complex operations that balance competing demands—staff capacity, equipment availability, research priorities, and compliance requirements—while driving breakthroughs in how buildings withstand hail, straight-line wind, and tornado hazards.

This role is ideal for a scientist-leader who thrives at the intersection of operational excellence and scientific discovery, and who can translate atmospheric hazards into defensible building performance standards.

Primary Responsibilities

BUILDING MATERIALS SCIENCE LABORATORY OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP (70%)

Lab Throughput & Capacity Management

Plan and manage building materials laboratory throughput while strategically balancing:

• Staff capacity and skill development
• Equipment availability and utilization
• Sample preparation constraints
• Research versus compliance testing priorities

Core Expectations

• Participate in experiment planning, execution, and quality control/assurance to ensure scientific rigor
• Establish predictable delivery timelines that stakeholders can rely on
• Develop transparent capacity planning tools and forecasting models
• Determine explicit tradeoffs between speed, scientific rigor, uncertainty, and quality—and communicate these decisions clearly

Key Expectations

• Understand how equipment limitations define experimental validity and inform research design
• Reduce downtime through preventive maintenance systems and proactive monitoring
• Develop multi-year capital planning aligned with research strategy
• Ensure infrastructure investments support long-term severe storm research goals

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH & INNOVATION (30%)

Lead components of experimental and analytics-based research programs advancing applied science on severe convective storms—including hail, straight-line wind, and tornado-related hazards—and their interaction with residential and commercial construction systems.

Core Management Competencies

• Systems-level thinking in applied hazard science: Ability to see how laboratory operations, equipment, staffing, and research programs interconnect to advance organizational mission
• Balance research innovation with production reliability: Comfort making tradeoffs between scientific exploration and operational consistency
• Operate in complex environments: Thrive where uncertainty, time pressure, and technical complexity intersect
• Demonstrated credibility: Earn trust from both operational teams and scientific peers through competence and integrity
• Translate hazard science to building performance: Capacity to convert atmospheric hazard characteristics into actionable material and system performance metrics

Required Qualifications

• Advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in engineering, materials science, atmospheric science, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in applied research, laboratory management, or building science
• Demonstrated expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and quality assurance protocols
• Proven ability to lead technical teams and mentor junior scientists or engineers
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with ability to present to diverse audiences
• Experience managing laboratory equipment, maintenance schedules, and capital planning
• Knowledge of building codes, standards development, or compliance testing (a significant plus)
