Job Description

Virginia Tech has a unique and exciting opportunity for an Administrative Specialist in the Research Conflict of Interest (COI) Program. The Research COI Program assumes a critical role in the research enterprise at Virginia Tech by identifying and managing financial conflicts of interest to promote objectivity. The program determines whether disclosed financial interests could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of sponsored research. If so, the program must ensure that a plan to manage the financial conflict of interest is implemented before the research starts. In addition to its financial conflict of interest responsibilities, the program serves a critical role for the university by administering the university's system for outside activity and financial interest disclosure.

This position will be in the Division of Scholarly Integrity and Research Compliance, a critical unit within the Office of Research and Innovation that assists researchers with the fulfillment of their research compliance responsibilities. The Research COI Administrative Specialist will join a dedicated team of professionals working to ensure ethical excellence in disclosure and compliance with related regulations.

The Research COI Administrative Specialist will provide support to researchers and stakeholders within and outside of the university, serving as the initial introduction to the Research COI Program. As the initial point of contact for the program's shared email account, the Research COI Administrative Specialist will utilize established procedures for routing, archiving, and replying to emails. The incumbent will monitor Investigator compliance, and administer other activities in accordance with university policy 13010, Conflict of Interest.

This position requires the ability to follow instructions and work independently; a strong focus on customer service, problem-solving, and creativity in developing tools and solutions; working in an organized manner under tight deadlines; and effective interpersonal, teamwork, and communication skills. The incumbent will report to the Director of the Research COI Program, who in turn reports to the Associate Vice President of Research and Innovation, Scholarly Integrity and Research Compliance.
