August 1, 2005
UPTON, NY - John Hauser has been named Assistant Laboratory Director for Finance at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, effective July 22. In addition, he has been appointed Corporate Chief Financial Officer for Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), the research management company that operates Brookhaven Lab for DOE. Hauser succeeds Brian P. Sack, who held these positions since 1999.
As the Laboratory's chief financial officer, Hauser oversees Brookhaven's Budget Office, Business Systems Division, and Fiscal Services Division. He also is responsible for a broad range of financial activities, including the planning and implementation of the Laboratory's fiscal matters and its approximately $467 million annual budget. As chief financial officer of BSA, he administers the company's $7.4-million annual budget.
"I am very privileged to have been selected as Brookhaven's Assistant Director for Finance," Hauser said. "While these are financially challenging times for the Laboratory, I am encouraged by the Lab Director's strategic plan to establish new facilities at Brookhaven, such as the Center for Functional Nanomaterials and the National Synchrotron Light Source-II, a more powerful light source than our current facility. My 28 years at Brookhaven have proven to me that our strength is in our people who are smart, motivated, and capable of achieving great things."
John Hauser earned a B.A. in history and an MBA in financial management from Iona College in 1969 and 1973, respectively, and a post-masters certificate in management information systems from Iona's Hagen Graduate School of Business in 1984. From 1969 to 1972, Hauser was a credit analyst and later an administrative assistant in financial control and administration at Union Carbide Corporation. In 1972, he moved to Clairol, Inc., where he was a senior financial analyst until he joined Brookhaven in 1977 as a senior budget analyst in the Budget Office. He worked his way up to Deputy Budget Officer in 1986 and then moved to Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Project in 1990, where he was Assistant Project Director for Administration and Management Systems for the $616-million project. In 1999, he became Assistant Project Chairman for Administration and Management Systems for the Collider Accelerator Department. In November 2004, he was chosen as Interim Assistant Laboratory Director for Finance, a position he held until his current appointment.
