Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The research administrator manages research awards and transactions, ensuring compliance with institutional and sponsor policies. Key duties include preparing budget projections, performing financial analysis, and providing post-award services for the Department of Cell and Tissue Biology.
Requires a bachelor's degree and at least 3 years of relevant experience, preferably in post-award administration within higher education. Candidates must have a thorough understanding of federal and non-federal research guidelines and proficiency in financial reporting software.
The research administrator serves as the subject matter expert in research administration and uses advanced contracts and grants concepts to independently manage research awards and transactions related to contract and grant management in compliance with both institutional and sponsor policies and in support of Principal Investigators and their labs.
The research administrator works closely with designated Principal Investigators on proposals and awards of diverse scope where analysis of data requires thorough understanding of complex regulations and a wide range of financial activities. Such activities include but are not limited to purchasing, general ledger reconciliation, processing reimbursements, as well as routine and ad-hoc financial reporting including payroll and non-payroll projections.
This position is responsible for independently preparing budget projections for the Principal Investigators (PIs) of contracts and grants, working directly with the Controller’s Office and Contracts and Grants Accounting to process complex transactions, including remedy discrepancies, and take corrective measures as needed. The incumbent assists with the full spectrum of post award services for grants maintained by the department of Cell and Tissue Biology and shows good judgement when working with confidential data.
Additionally, the incumbent guides less experienced staff, and has the responsibility of initiating, tracking, and following up with administrative matters within the department or externally (Pre-Award, Central HR, Controller's Office, Contracts & Grants Accounting, etc.).
Founded in 1881, the UCSF School of Dentistry has striven to educate the leading practitioners, scholars and faculty members of the next generation. As a leading institution of oral and craniofacial health, our educational programs have grown to include, in addition to our DDS programs, an array of PhD, post-graduate and residency programs. Our student dentists, residents and faculty handle over 120,000 patient visits a year in our comprehensive UCSF Dental Center, and our student staff numerous community-based externship sites. The school is one of the top oral and craniofacial research enterprises in the world, ranked the top dental school in the country in research funding from the National Institutes of Health for 25 years, and home to several leading translational research programs.
The Department of Cell and Tissue Biology (CTB) is a basic science department within the School of Dentistry. The department was established in 2005 and includes 11 faculty with primary appointments and 5 faculty with secondary appointments. Additionally, the department is home to numerous postdoctoral fellows as well as graduate students in programs ranging from Biomedical Sciences, Tetrad and Biophysics to Developmental & Stem Cell Biology and Oral & Craniofacial Sciences. Faculty research interests include cell biology, development, metabolism, cancer, immunology and neurobiology.
