Position Summary
The College of Engineering at the University of Georgia seeks an experienced professional for the role of Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM) Deputy Director. The mission of GNEM is to convene stakeholders in electric mobility across the state to improve the lives of all citizens through research, education and community partnership.

The College invites applications for a 12-month, not-tenure-track position at the Academic Professional rank to support activities in electric mobility technologies and community engagement throughout the state of Georgia. This position has a tentative start date of March 1, 2025.

Candidates considered for the Academic Professional rank must have qualifications and academic credentials that are commensurate with the promotion guidelines at the University of Georgia.

The GNEM Deputy Director will be responsible for:

• The promotion of GNEM through interfacing with external entities at the director, CEOs and key leadership levels to foster and develop relationships.
• Planning and organizing GNEM events and coordinating meetings with GNEM staff, stakeholders, and researchers.
• Project and fiscal management through facilitating the GNEM budget each year and ensuring that funds are spent according to the founding members' wishes and gift stipulations.
• Overseeing and leading GNEM communications and marketing to promote the goals and initiatives of GNEM across the state of Georgia.

This position will have a high level of independence, authority, and responsibility as a leader in GNEM. The incumbent will have a focus on building relationships with stakeholders, spreading awareness of GNEM initiatives, fostering awareness of e-mobility throughout the state of Georgia, and coordinating state-level engagement with the project and GNEM's goals. The employee will work closely with and report directly to the Executive Director of GNEM, a position currently held by Dr. Bjorn Birgisson.

The hiring is part of a campus-wide E-Mobility Initiative that builds on the economic development opportunities that exist within the State of Georgia and the Southeast US. The state has an extensive multi-modal transportation network that includes the busiest airport in the world - Atlanta-Hartsfield Jackson International Airport - an expanding port in Savannah, and a robust interstate highway system that is a hub of the region. Recent economic development successes have grown the number of corporations that advance electric mobility such as, SK Battery America, Hyundai Motor Group, Rivian Automotive, Ascend Elements, and Archer Aerospace.

Further, the Georgia Department of Economic Development has created the Georgia Electric Mobility and Innovation Alliance to support growing the electric mobility ecosystem in the state and strengthening Georgia's position in electrification-related manufacturing and innovation. The University of Georgia is well-positioned to take advantage of these successes due to the comprehensive nature of the university and its extensive network into communities across the State.
