Position Summary
The Department of Medicine is among the top ranked departments for NIH funding in the nation, internationally recognized in diverse areas such as diabetes, lipid metabolism, cancer biology, human genetics, developmental biology, immunology, data sciences and outcomes research.
In this role, the Grants Coordinator I will apply strong organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills to support faculty in the submission and pre-award administration of grants and contracts. Core responsibilities include assisting principal investigators (PIs) with the development, review, and submission of grant proposals; tracking and managing application materials; contributing to budget preparation; and maintaining accurate records. This position offers the opportunity to build expertise in grants administration, including terminology, processes, technology platforms, and regulatory requirements, while progressively learning to manage the full scope of pre-award activities.
While prior experience in academic, grant-funded environments and a background in biological sciences or business are advantageous, the most critical attributes for success are a strong customer service orientation, the ability to collaborate effectively in a deadline-driven setting, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
