Job Summary:

The Executive Director for the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Depression Center (Johnson Depression Center) provides academic and strategic leadership for the Johnson Depression Center, which includes a diverse set of dynamic programs that make a meaningful impact in all academic mission areas including community outreach and advocacy. The Johnson Depression Center is one of two founding members of the National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC), which now includes 25 member sites.

The Executive Director is expected to advance the Johnson Depression Center’s standing as a center of excellence in mood disorders across all mission areas. While the Johnson Depression Center is the crown jewel of the Department of Psychiatry’s mood disorders programming and one of the strongest, largest, most cohesive mood disorders centers within the NNDC, there are opportunities for tremendous growth under the direction of a visionary leader.

While embracing the successes of the Johnson Depression Center, a successful leader would be expected to work collaboratively and respectfully to leverage relationships with relevant parties within the Department and NNDC, other School of Medicine departments, CU AMC Chancellor’s office, CU AMC hospital partners, the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration, CU Medicine as the CU faculty practice plan, and partners outside of the CU system. Likewise, the Vice Chancellor for CU Advancement and team are strong advocates for the Johnson Depression Center, bringing millions of dollars in donations to the Johnson Depression Center to create one of CU AMC’s largest endowments.

The ideal Executive Director would create opportunities for strategic growth within the clinical, education, and community outreach arenas where the Johnson Depression Center currently shines, while building a strong NIH-funded portfolio in the area of mood disorders research across the translational continuum.
