Research Administrator-float

4 months ago

Seattle, United States University of Washington Full time

As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem-solving skills, and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world.

UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits, and natural beauty.

The Department of Medicine has an outstanding opportunity for a temporary, fixed-duration Research Administrator - Float to support the 11 divisions.

The Research Administrator will be responsible for independently providing the Department of Medicine's 11 divisions with assistance in managing research grant and contract proposals with special emphasis on larger award mechanisms such as NIH cooperative agreements, program projects and institutional training grants. The incumbent will perform as a Department expert and provide assistance to the (11) Department of Medicine Divisions on all post-award matters and serve as back up for pre-award matters. This person would routinely coordinate program activities, solve problems, and work with administrative staff and campus units to address/resolve issues. This includes the responsibility to advise faculty investigators and staff of current institutional and agency policies and procedures, and to provide timely notification of policy changes. This position will also work independently to review and approve grant/contract proposals and other sponsored research documents ensuring compliance and conformance with institutional and sponsoring agency policies and regulations. This position will have the authority to sign off on grant/contract proposals on behalf of the Department Chair.

This position requires a broad scope of knowledge and experience in the following areas: academic research in medicine, conformance and compliance to policies and procedures at local, state and national levels. The complexity of this position is derived from the broad range of medical specialties and research interests of the faculty of the Department of Medicine.

The position requires an ability to direct and manage multiple priorities, quickly analyze situations and make sound decisions utilizing effective time management skills, good business acumen and administrative judgment. The incumbent must have a highly effective level of communication with the Principal Investigators, Division Managers, Directors, Chair, Vice Chairs, Dean's office, faculty, staff, and other university departments. The incumbent must be able to work very independently to achieve the goals of the Department.

The complexity of this position is derived largely from the fact that the research interests of the faculty span a broad range of medical specialties. Each of our divisions specializes in different areas of medicine therefore many different agencies are involved in funding research activities and many different types of grant and contract applications are submitted each year.

The incumbent will interface with personnel in the Department of Medicine (faculty, division administrators and division staff), the University (research pre-award administrators in the School of Medicine, the Office of Sponsored Programs, Grant and Contract Accounting, Human Subjects, to name a few), and outside sources (research staff at cooperating agencies such as the Fred Hutch, Bloodworks NW, the Veterans Administration Puget Sound Health Care System (VAPSHCS), the NIH, other cooperating academic institution, as examples).

The Department of Medicine (DoM) is the largest academic department in UW Medicine, providing leadership in research, clinical care and teaching across 11 subspecialty divisions, 23 accredited resident and fellowship programs. It is one of the largest and leading academic departments in the country with > 1,100 clinical and research faculty members, 407 residents and fellows in ACGME-accredited positions, 109 non-ACGME fellows and visiting scientists, 927 staff members and 978 affiliated clinical faculty members, and an annual budget of over $500 million. The Department has total annual contract and grant research expenditures of approximately $181 million from approximately 800 research awards. Approximately 35% of the faculty members are paid from the grant/contract projects in Medicine. The Department's Office of Sponsored Projects reviews approximately 1,600 proposals yearly that involve the faculty of the Department of Medicine.

The Research Administrator is responsible for accurate research proposal submission and research budget management. This position requires interpreting a wide variety of information with regard to research proposals and awards. Errors and omissions made in this position may be result in loss of funding to the Department and could impact our research mission. This position is vital in ensuring that funds are managed at a high degree of integrity and accuracy in order to maintain good relationships with our sponsoring agencies and cooperating institutions.
