Bruce Darling, the University of California’s top laboratory official, is joining the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council as executive officer, taking over for William Colglazier. As the Vice President for Laboratory Management at the University of California since 2008, Darling has overseen UC’s management of three national laboratories: Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. UC solely manages Berkeley, and runs Los Alamos and Livermore with three private partners. Darling recently headed up the UC-led searches for Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore’s directors, and from 1996 to 2008, he served as the university system’s vice president for university and external relations, senior vice president for university affairs, and executive vice president for university affairs. Darling’s transition to his new job at NAS will take place over the next few months, the organization said in a statement Friday. Colglazier left NAS last year to serve as a science and technology advisor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
