Research Administrator (Ra) III

The Human Biology Division is home to 24 faculty-led labs focused on cancer and infectious disease research. We're looking for a Research Administrator (RA) III to join our team and support the Prostate Cancer Program. This is not a central admin role - our RAs work closely with labs to help them navigate the full life cycle of grants and handle day-to-day logistics that keep research running.

This is a fast-paced, high-volume role where things move quickly, and faculty may not always be available. The ideal candidate can stay organized under pressure, take initiative, and enjoys making complex systems run more smoothly behind the scenes. Our admin team leans on each other for support, values clarity and kindness, and believes in doing high-quality work with integrity and respect. In our dynamic environment, we prioritize learning as we go and helping each other figure things out.

This role will start as full-time on campus. After training and onboarding, there may be an option to shift to a hybrid schedule, depending on performance and program needs.

Responsibilities

Grants & Financial Management

  • Manage the full lifecycle of sponsored research : submissions, budgeting, compliance, reporting, subawards, and closeouts

  • Maintain up-to-date compliance documentation (EMUAs, CMUAs, licenses)
  • Administrative & Operational Support

  • Manage HR tasks (e.g., onboarding, offboarding, affiliate agreements)
  • Train lab staff on systems and policies; manage time and effort reporting
  • Handle reimbursements, travel arrangements, ProCard reconciliation, and faculty license renewals
  • Support lab operations (e.g., orders, equipment transfers, general logistics)
  • Serve as liaison with internal departments and a point of contact for program-related inquiries
  • Qualifications

    Minimum Qualifications :

  • A Bachelor's Degree or 3 years relevant experience.
  • Minimum of one year experience managing federal and / or non-federal sponsored research.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office / Adobe
  • Working knowledge of Excel formulas and functions such as creating formulas and working with Pivot Tables
  • Ability to edit SharePoint sites or basic web pages

  • Ability to source data from systems and generate customized reports
  • Efficiently planning, organizing, and prioritizing your work as well as that of others
  • Ability to tailor communications to specific audiences

  • Basic budgetary knowledge (ability to reconcile, manage, report budget information, etc.)
  • Basic knowledge of accounting terminology
  • Knowledge of relevant regulatory guidelines such as IRB, IACUC, MUA
  • Prior experience or exposure to grant writing / applications
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (especially Excel), Adobe, and Teams
  • Experience with regulatory documentation and generating reports
  • Strong communication, time management, and decision-making skills
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-stakes environments with evolving systems
  • High attention to detail and ability to interpret and apply policies and budgets
  • Professionalism, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving mindset
  • The annual base salary range for this position is from $82,846 to $124,238, and pay offered will be based on experience and qualifications.
