Director, Training & Education, Stanford Impact Labs
Stanford University
Job Number: 88791
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPACT
Stanford Impact Labs: The world's biggest social problems are complex, multi-faceted, and stubborn. No academic center, company, or organization can solve issues like economic inequality or pandemic response alone. We need leaders with different skills and experiences to come together to create fresh insights, evidence, and action to make progress.
Stanford Impact Labs (SIL) invests in highly-motivated teams of researchers and practitioners from government, business, nonprofit organizations, and philanthropy. These teamsimpact labswork together on social problems they choose and where practical progress is possible. With our support, they can rapidly develop, test, and scale new solutions to social problems that affect millions of people worldwide.
Our approach builds on what works in the life sciences and engineering to turn academic discovery into medical advances and new technologies people use: significant investments in research and development, and close partnership between researchers and leaders outside the university. With financial capital, professional support, and training, we catalyze problem-focused research and partnerships to generate new insights and solutions to persistent social problems. In doing so, we make social science work for society.
