DIRECTOR
OFFICE OF  PROPOSAL  DEVELOPMENT

UNC Charlotte seeks an experienced research administration professional to
direct the new Office of Proposal Development. The Director will work
closely with faculty and funding agencies to identify opportunities for
proposal development, will facilitate the formation of proposal teams, and
will provide a wide range of services to help faculty achieve their research
goals with emphasis on the development of large-scale multidisciplinary
proposals and or programs. The Director will coordinate professional
development opportunities for faculty and will serve as a mentor to faculty
for project and proposal development. The Director will report to the
Associate Vice Chancellor for Research.

UNC Charlotte, the only doctoral-granting university in an exciting and
dynamic urban region of 1.8 million people and the second-fastest growing
city in the United States, has just received designation by the UNC Board of
Governors as doctoral-intensive. Enrollment will grow from 17,000 to 25,000
over the next decade and the University will aggressively focus on its
continuing development as a research university. Its seven colleges (Arts
and Sciences, Architecture, Business Administration, Education, Engineering,
Information Technology, and Nursing and Health Professions) offer a rapidly
expanding array of master's and doctoral degree programs, and its centers
and institutes provide excellent facilities and relationships that stimulate
research and collaboration with business, education, and industry. The
University intends to be known especially for its nationally and
internationally recognized research and for its role in addressing the major
educational, economic, social, and cultural needs of the greater Charlotte
region.

The successful candidate will have exceptional interpersonal and
motivational skills, strong writing and editing skills buttressed by a
demonstrated track record of achievement in proposal development in an
academic setting, the ability to assess individual faculty skills and
strengths, familiarity with federal and private research funding,
familiarity with diverse research methodologies, and vision and creativity
for developing new directions in interdisciplinary research. The ability to
earn faculty trust and respect are essential. A master's degree is required
but a doctoral degree is preferred.

Applications, including a letter of interest that addresses the
qualifications being sought, a curriculum vitae, and a list of four
professional references with addresses and phone numbers should be sent to
Proposal Development Search, Office of Research Services, 411 Reese
