Dear Resadm-l-ers:

Could anyone please enlighten me as to what qualifications you would seek for
an Assistant Director position? Work involves supervising others, assisting
faculty to develop proposals, including interpreting guidelines, setting up
and monitoring accounts & expenditures, advising on compliance issues: whole
gamut of pre and post. I'm thinking of the following statement:

"Bachelor's degree or at least 5 years of experience in a similar position in
sponsored research administration required"

What do others think? Is the degree absolutely necessary if the experience is
there? Thanks in advance for you input.
