We are committed to advancing the University’s teaching, research, patient care, and community outreach, all in conjunction with our corporate and foundation partners.
The Associate Director will lead continued funding growth for a wide range of research and program initiatives by working collaboratively with faculty and staff to monitor, strategize about, apply for, and report on grants and gifts.
Housed within Advancement (with headquarters on lower campus), you will join a team of three CFR staff and a larger office of fundraising professionals.
