ISER is Looking for a New Director
March 3, 2016

ISER’s current director, Gunnar Knapp, is retiring this June, and ISER is
recruiting for a new director. The new director will represent ISER,
inside and outside the university, and will need to be familiar with
policy-oriented, applied research—and should have an understanding of
Alaska’s economy, culturally diverse peoples, and policy issues relevant
to Alaska.

ISER does non-partisan research to help Alaskans and others understand
social and economic systems and support informed public and private
descion-making. Areas of research at ISER include economic development,
fiscal policy, education, natural resource management, and health.

The director’s job requires someone able to generate external grants and
contracts, which make up a big share of ISER’s budget. The new director
will supervise about 40 faculty members, researchers, and administrative
staff, and coordinate research activities.

This job requires either a Ph.D., a terminal degree, or senior-level
administrative experience in a field relevant to ISER’s mission.
Applications are being accepted until April 1, 2016. For more information,
