The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the search for a Senior
Leadership Giving Officer, Chemical Engineering, School of
Engineering.
Reporting jointly to the Head of the Department of Chemical
Engineering and the Assistant Dean for Development, School of
Engineering, the Senior Leadership Giving Officer will create and
execute a comprehensive strategic development plan, designed to
raise financial support and awareness for Chemical Engineering
(ChemE) within the School of Engineering. The Senior Leadership
Giving Officer will manage, build, and execute successful
fundraising strategies for a mature portfolio, creating
individualized solicitation plans leading to major and principal
gifts in support of MIT's fundraising priorities, capital projects,
and other departmental priorities. The Senior Leadership Giving
Officer will work collaboratively with the ChemE Department Head,
key faculty and investigators, administrative officer, and events
and communications staff to increase the visibility of ChemE and
establish a thriving community of supporters, including both
philanthropic and industry partnerships.
MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering offers academic programs
that prepare students to master physical, chemical, and biological
processes, engineering design, and synthesis skills; creatively
shape and solve complex problems, such as translating molecular
information into new products and processes; and exercise
leadership in industry, academia, and government in terms of
technological, economic, and social issues. It provides a vibrant
interdisciplinary research program that attracts the best young
people; creatively shapes engineering science and design through
interfaces with chemistry, biology, and materials science; and
contributes to solving the technological needs of the global
economy and human society. ChemE promotes active and vigorous
leadership by its people in shaping the scientific and
technological context of debates around social, political,
economic, and environmental issues facing the country and the
world.
Formally established as a separate department in 1920, MIT’s
Department of Chemical Engineering has not only set the standard
for instruction and research in the field, but it also continues to
redefine the discipline’s frontiers. With one of three
undergraduate programs focusing on chemical-biological engineering
for students interested in the emerging biotech and life sciences
industries, and two of three graduate programs providing an
experiential course of study in chemical engineering practice in
collaboration with MIT’s Sloan School of Management, ChemE at MIT
is unlike chemical engineering anywhere else.
The MIT School of Engineering is ranked at the top of its field.
U.S. News & World Report has given the top spot to
MIT’s undergraduate engineering program since 1983. In the most
recent publishing, six programs were placed in the number one spot,
with four other programs ranking in the top ten. MIT is a magnet
for talent from around the world, allowing this exceptional
community to pursue its mission of service to the nation and the
world. As an institution with a global reputation, MIT has been
home to 98 Nobel laureates, 59 National Medal of Science winners,
30 National Medal of Technology and Innovation winners, 79
MacArthur Fellows, and 15 A. M. Turing Award winners.
