Innovation Group Lead – Biotechnology
Belldegrun Center for Innovation and Leadership
Brentwood School, Los Angeles, CA
About the Belldegrun Center for Innovation and Leadership
The Belldegrun Center for Innovation and Leadership engages K-12 students with real-world challenges that culminate in a multi-year independent study program. Students develop their skills as creative, curious, and critical thinkers; collaborators and communicators; innovative problem solvers, and researchers. Independent Study opportunities in the BCIL focus on depth of understanding and span STEM, the arts, humanities, civics, policy, and entrepreneurship.
Position Overview
Brentwood School is expanding the scope of independent research opportunities associated with the BCIL. As such, the School is seeking an experienced Research Lead to join a newly formed innovation group.
The Biotechnology Innovation Group Lead will mentor exceptional high school students working on independent study projects at the forefront of the most transformative fields in the life sciences. This role requires a professional researcher who can mentor cutting-edge research projects in molecular biology, genetics, synthetic biology, bioengineering, or related areas and lead a research group of students in these disciplines.
In addition to on-campus research facilities, the Group Lead will also work to place students with leading researchers and companies shaping these technologies. The role also includes teaching 1-2 sections of traditional biology or biotechnology, with the goal, in addition to quality instruction, of broadening student participation in independent research projects.
As the program’s internal aspects grow and succeed, the BCIL also has externally focused goals, including creating and supporting a network of public school teachers to teach modern genomics, supplying the necessary equipment for such experiments, and defining and supporting community-wide research projects.
