Dear colleagues -

Intrigued at the thought of living in Alaska? Excited at the prospect of
managing a growing Grants and Contracts office, in an environment that
is open to change and innovation? The job below might be for you. The
University of Alaska Fairbanks is an NSF top 100 institution, and is
expanding rapidly. The successful applicant would have an opportunity to
shape and craft a program according to their vision, with the caveat
that they continue to provide outstanding service with appropriate
oversight and accountability!

Living in Alaska is not for everyone, but that is one of the things that
makes it attractive.

Thanks for looking at our job,

Tania
