Hello, colleagues!

My department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is seeking to fill our open Contracts & Grants Manager position. Check it out and please apply if you are interested. The ICB is a dynamic and exciting department at UCSB, and our coastal campus emphasizes a healthy work-life balance.

The Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB) is a large, interdisciplinary research institute comprised of an ongoing, renewable federally funded University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) contract that has ongoing subcontracts with California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In addition, the ICB administers several, large federal and private awards. 

The Contracts & Grants Manager is responsible for the full range of pre-award functions. Counsels principal investigators (PIs) on establishing UARC budgets for the core task orders. Works closely with partner institutions (Caltech and MIT) and reviews annual submission for contractual compliance. Provides consultation and guidance to principal investigators on non-UARC proposal submissions. Advises faculty, research staff, and students of proper UC, agency, and contract guidelines. Is responsible for compliance issues pertaining to the scientific execution of awards (human subjects, animal subjects, stem cell, clinical trials, conflict of interest, etc.) and provides central offices with expert information. Maintains current, in-depth knowledge of contract/grant policies of the University and multiple funding agencies; must have a general knowledge of UC fund accounting and related policies and procedures for payroll, travel, purchasing, and business services/contracts. Demonstrates flexibility in learning, interpreting, and adapting new policies and procedures.
