Princeton NJ United States Princeton University Full time
Overview

Princeton University seeks a highly motivated, well-qualified individual to serve as a Grant and Contract Administrator (GCA) in the Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA). The GCA will be responsible for a portfolio of academic departments supported by grants, contracts and other research-related agreements.

The GCA is responsible for the formal solicitation, negotiation and administration of extramural support for University research, training, and public service projects funded by government and non-government sponsors (sponsored projects).

Responsibilities

The GCA is responsible for conducting comprehensive analysis of proposals for extramural support to government and non-government entities, and negotiating a full array of grants, contracts and other research-related agreements, some of which may require risk mitigation recommendations and strategies related to complex or problematic terms and conditions). The GCA will partner with the ORPA Contracts Manager regarding nonfunded agreements (i.e., confidentiality agreements, data use agreements) as well as funded agreements that contain particularly challenging/potentially risky terms. The GCA will also collaborate with the Subaward Administrator as necessary at proposal stage, as well as to provide assistance in preparing and negotiating subawards issued.

The GCA is responsible for advising and assisting Princeton University department administrators, principal investigators, and staff members; interpreting and explaining request for proposal conditions, grant, contract and other research-related agreement terms and conditions, and assisting in the resolution of issues that develop in the course of projects by consulting with the investigator(s), staff, and sponsors. The GCA will participate in developing and providing training on sponsored research to the campus community.

The GCA must have a strong service orientation, good problem-solving abilities, effective oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively and effectively with faculty, staff, students, and sponsors. As a professional staff member, the GCA is an advocate for responsive, effective research administration.

The GCA must be energetic and able to function effectively and independently in a fast- moving environment subject to external pressure and frequent interruptions. The GCA will also provide back-up support for their colleagues, and develop and implement ideas for increasingly effective service.
