CUNY's Office of Research supports the research, scholarly, and creative pursuits of the CUNY community. The three divisions of OR (Research Development and Programs, Research Administration and Compliance, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship) provide assurance to funding agencies and to the public that University research is conducted in accordance with the highest ethical standards. Investing in the research development of members of the CUNY community, from students to senior faculty, the OR focuses on collaborative and transdisciplinary research innovations, fosters entrepreneurship, and ensures compliance with local, state, and federal regulations and ethical standards regarding the responsible conduct of research and sponsored program administration.

The Communications Manager will cooperate with the AVCR's team and the three divisions of CUNY OR to enhance the value and outcomes of priorities across these functional units. This role will play a crucial part in building the visibility and interconnectivity of CUNY research as the university system returns to full on-campus operations in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
