With a passion for women's health and the work of the Ludeman Center, the Deputy Director will partner with the Director to manage the growth and development of the Ludeman Center's strategic initiatives, programs, and operations, which have been created to promote and advance its strategic goals.

Together, the Director and the Deputy Director will lead a dynamic organization that includes Ludeman Center staff, Community Advisory Board, scientific leaders, and university leadership, producing impactful research, mentoring, education, and outreach programs.

Housed within the University of Colorado School of Medicine and based at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, the Ludeman Family Center for Women's Health Research envisions a world where all women are healthy and thriving. It pursues a mission of transforming women's health through leading-edge research, the development of outstanding scientists, and partnerships with women and their families, providers, and the greater community to ensure women receive evidence-based, responsive healthcare.

Research funded by the Ludeman Center focuses on the areas of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and integrated physical and mental health as they relate to women. Given that women were largely not included in studies until the 1990's and the field has historically been understudied, the Ludeman Center is dedicated to funding the next generation of scientists focused on women's health and sex differences research. The Ludeman Center is regarded as one of the best places to conduct research that specifically includes women and considers the distinct, but associated concepts of sex (chromosomal, physiological, and biological) and gender (social, psychological, and cultural) differences.

The Ludeman Center is committed to growing the women's health research field and workforce to accelerate progress on closing knowledge gaps and improving care. To advance women's health research, the Ludeman Center awards grants, through peer review, to fund research studies for early career faculty. Included in this grant program are Early-Career Faculty Research Development Awards, or seed grants. Seed grants are used to jump-start ideas and help researchers build careers in women's health and sex and gender differences research.

A master's degree from an accredited institution, which may be substituted by years of experience, and at least 10 years of experience in organizational leadership, financial management, strategy development, program execution, and external relations is preferred for this position as is experience working in a women's health, non-profit, healthcare, scientific, or university environment. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus will consider candidates with a broad range of backgrounds. If you are excited about this role and feel that you can contribute to CU Anschutz and the Ludeman Center, but your experience does not exactly align with every qualification listed above, we encourage you to apply. All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and resume. Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of the Ludeman Family Center for Women's Health Research as well as the responsibilities and qualifications stated in the prospectus.
