Southern Research (SR) is at a pivotal moment in its 80-year history. At the start of 2022, SR launched a new strategic plan focused on translational research in the life sciences. SR intends to invest over $150 million in this new strategy, including the development of new facilities, platforms, and programs. We believe in the power of SR and our partners to unlock the immense potential of Alabama’s biotech ecosystem to spur economic development, create jobs, and draw investment. Downtown Birmingham sees over $700M in extramural biomedical research every year, including over $300M from the NIH, in large part due to the contributions of Southern Research and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. We are on a mission to translate our R&D volume into investment, high-performance companies, and quality jobs in Alabama and in the Southeast United States.

Critical to this strategy is the development of commercialization infrastructure to bring new

inventions to market. We are seeking a Program Manager, Incubator to with programming, project planning, process development/optimization, grants management, and client services for Southern Research’s Station 41 Biotechnology Incubator, which will provide wet lab space and entrepreneurial support services for a dynamic and diverse array of biotechnology startups and scaleups. The Program Manager, Incubator will be instrumental in providing direct and indirect support to assist incubator clients, as well as co-developing the longer-term strategic plan for the Incubator. We are looking for an energetic and nimble executor who thinks critically, relishes details, effectively collaborates with leadership to achieve mission-critical outcomes, and has demonstrated an interest in scientific research, commercialization, and economic growth.
