The position is full-time and based out of Eugene, Oregon, however remote or hybrid work requests will be considered.Department Summary
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation (OVPRI) serves as an advocate and catalyst within the University of Oregon (UO) for expanding the range and impact of UO's research, scholarship, and creative endeavors.
The OVPRI encompasses sponsored programs, research compliance, technology transfer, economic development, industry engagement, research-based ventures, and research development.OVPRI has administrative responsibility for numerous high-profile research centers and institutes and core research facilities, which provide opportunities for faculty across the university to collaborate on research efforts that are inherently interdisciplinary, and of significant societal importance.
As a university that holds the distinction of a "very high research activity" ranking (R1) in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, the UO is also one of only two Pacific Northwest members of the Association of American Universities (AAU).
Visit to learn more.Within OVPRI, Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) is a full-service central unit comprised of over 25 employees.
SPS is team-based and customer service-oriented central office that works to ensure the smooth and compliant administration of approximately $175 million of sponsored awards annually.
SPS provides pre-award and post-award services for sponsored projects and ensures that research administrators across the institution can directly support their units in a compliant, efficient, and service-oriented manner.
Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) works with the University community faculty principal investigators (PIs), department grant administrators (DGAs), UO administrative officials, business managers, and affiliated organizations such as the UO Foundation to provide services in two main areas:
1) Proposal Preparation and Clearance from application materials and budget assistance to final review, official endorsement, and submission of proposals to funding agencies (public and private) for support of research, instruction, and public service projects.
As part of an institutional commitment to support and streamline research support, SPS is part of developing a Research Administration Portal (RAP) and will be implementing Huron's research administration suite for effort reporting and award management starting in 2024.
As part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we welcome, respect, and foster a sense of belonging for a wide range of identities and experiences in our workforce.
We strongly encourage applications from members of historically underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, women, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and/or LGBTQIA+ community members.
Position SummaryThe Associate Director for Post-Award, Finance, and Audit works with the Assistant Vice President of Sponsored Projects Services (AVP) to provide vision, support, and leadership on all matters related to post-award administration of sponsored projects.
This position will develop and maintain relationships within the UO research community, external sponsors (both federal and non-federal), and other key stakeholders, and will be expected to provide accurate and timely interpretation of state, federal, and other sponsor policies, rules, regulations, and requirements.
The Associate Director will serve as a key partner in the implementation of the Research Administration Portal (RAP) for effort reporting and award management.
This position will supervise the Post-Award Managers (award setup/contracting, management, and finance), and will oversee post-award functions including assignment and supervision of post-award personnel workload, ongoing evaluation and mentoring of post-award personnel, and assisting post-award personnel with workload as appropriate.
This position will provide oversight and supervision of finance and award setup teams, including monitoring cash balances, overdrafts and collections, letter of credit draws, and related reporting.
Success for this position after 36 months would include increased engagement of research relationships and impact of University of Oregon research; better and more efficient support of sponsored projects through improved processes; and successful and smooth implementation of new grants management software (Huron's Research Suite).
This person will provide leadership during the transition from our legacy system to the Huron research suite for pre-award and post-award.
A successful transition will require change management in the operating unit and substantial outreach to the research community.
We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come with relevant transferable skills from a variety of sources and experiences.
If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
