  • Experience developing post-graduate certificates, professional development programs, training programs, or other innovative educational offerings

  • Familiarity with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and the evolving legal, regulatory, and professional training landscape

  • Strong academic leadership, entrepreneurial ability, and demonstrated capacity to build a new program or center from the ground up

  • Strong communication, collaboration, relationship-building, and organizational skills, with the ability to engage diverse academic, clinical, and community stakeholders
