Job opening - Information Services Manager at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (Menlo Park, CA)

Make Science Work Better
Information Services Manager / SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

We want you to come help us make science work better.  

How?  By managing the product development and operations of a communication infrastructure for scientific papers and information, and by analyzing the evolution of the scientific research process in order to plan more effective systems.  

Whats involved?



  • Manage a team of 6, consisting of software developers and metadata curators, as we work on INSPIRE, the next-generation article search and discovery engine for High Energy Physics (HEP)

  • Work closely with information managers at other INSPIRE sites to manage the INSPIRE product: setting goals and priorities, envisioning new features, coordinating development activities, planning community outreach
  • Working in concert with peer managers and developers, do science about science: studying citation networks, peer acceptance and status signalling in scientific networks.  Then ask yourself: how can we make this process smoother?

  • Leverage insights from INSPIRE to drive revolutionary improvements to research delivery across SLAC's full research portfolio: photon science, biology, accelerator science, and more
