Vice President Of Technical Services (VPTS)
The American Foundry Society (AFS) is seeking an individual to fill the position of vice president of technical services (VPTS) who will continue to build on the Society’s strong research projects and technical resources supporting the metalcasting industry. This position provides leadership and oversight for the AFS technical department in its service to the AFS member- ship, technical committee structure, and the metalcast- ing industry as a whole.

The VPTS reports to the chief executive officer of AFS and will provide leadership and strategic direction for the technical department of AFS to assist the organization in achievement of its mission and objectives.
Additional key responsibilities for this position are the administration of the AFS research portfolio including internally and externally funded projects, facilitating the transfer of beneficial knowledge and results to the metalcasting industry, as well as collaborating with the AFS Research Board in selection of research projects. As adequate funding for research is vital, those interested in filling the position must be experienced in drafting and submitting grant proposals to a variety of organiza- tions, including governmental agencies, institutes and foundations, and industry consortiums. This position also serves as a technical resource for AFS publica- tions, such as the International Journal of Metalcasting, MODERN CASTING magazine, and Metal Casting Design & Purchasing magazine.
The successful candidate will have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in an engineering curriculum and ex- perience in managing technical personnel. An extensive general knowledge of metallurgy and the metalcasting industry, with specific expertise in metalcasting and manufacturing methods, is a must.
