The University of Kentucky College of Medicine Sponsored Research Administrative Services (SRAS) office is pleased to announce the availability of four Pre-Award positions--two Senior Grant Proposal Specialist and two Grant Proposal Specialist. Applications accepted through Wednesday, February 1, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET.
All are eligible for remote work with appropriate experience.
Our office is remote-friendly with Pre-Award staff members that span both coasts and multiple states in between.
For any of these Pre-Award positions, you'll provide grant proposal support to a group of departments and centers within the College of Medicine. You'll be primarily responsible for working with faculty on the administrative and budgetary aspects of their research proposals. As part of your daily responsibilities, you'll provide grant-related policy knowledge and guidance to College faculty members. The main goals are to ensure a high level of compliance with all applicable policies and regulations, while helping to ensure that each proposal passes the muster of a sponsor's administrative and budgetary requirements. For each faculty member's proposal that is funded, we know that one of our staff members played a part in that success story.
The key to our office's success is providing exceptional service. We do that through our on-time assistance, focus on project and timeline management, and continual learning in the field of Research Administration.
Minimum requirements for the Senior GPS position are:
--A Master's degree and 4 years of related experience.
Minimum requirements for the Grant Proposal Specialist position are:
----A Master's degree and 1 year of related experience.
