Responsibilities
The Unit Research Administrator supports researchers by managing budget projections, grant compliance, and the administrative lifecycle of research projects. They act as a primary liaison between principal investigators and the central sponsored research office to ensure fiscal and programmatic accuracy.
Requirements
This position requires a Bachelor's degree and at least one year of professional administrative experience, or a Master's degree. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to handle complex grant administration tasks and possess strong analytical skills.
Full job description
A Unit Research Administrator supports researchers by preparing budget projections, developing materials for compliance analysis, and advising the researchers concerning the review of the proposals by Sponsored Research. The position researches internal and external grant sources and disseminates information on grant opportunities of interest to researchers in a college or department. After awards are made the position provides guidance to researchers on administrative steps such as setting up accounts, hiring staff, reconciling the projects on a regular basis, reviewing and approving invoices and financial reports prepared by Sponsored Research, preparing expenditure transfers and override requests with supporting justification, and reviewing the final reconciliation of the projects prepared by Sponsored Research. A Unit Research Administrator does not support a single research program, but works with many research proposals and projects. This position meets the FLSA criteria for a professional exemption since it performs work that requires advanced knowledge, skills and judgement. The work is distinguished from general administrative support positions by consulting primarily on research projects and assisting in grant proposal development, compliance review processes, and fiscal administration. It differs from the roles of Sponsored Research since it does not negotiate nor contract with granting agencies, as it does not have the authority of the central administrative offices that are responsible for financial audits, contact with the sponsor, submitting and/or executing proposals and awards on behalf of USF.
This position is Grant-Funded. This position is not eligible for Visa Sponsorship.
