Syracuse University's Office of Sponsored Programs has immediate
opening for two newly created positions that offer outstanding
professional growth and development opportunities. These positions
require strong and proven administrative, computer, training, writing
and verbal communication skills and require a high level of autonomy,
self-directedness and detail orientation.  Although we prefer direct
experience in grants administration, we are willing to consider
talented, creative, organized and deadline oriented professionals with
solid administrative experience in other fields.  A B.S. or B.A. is
preferred.

Grant Development Administrator and Writer This position serves as the
key point of contact for all research development activities and
requires a seasoned professional capable of envisioning potential
collaborations and partnerships from members of the Syracuse University
and local region for grant applications to federal and non-federal
sponsors. Demonstrated experience in grant writing and in the
development of collaborative proposals or cross-functional teams is
required. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, solid
administrative experience and strategic thinking aptitude are required.
This position is responsible for appropriate dissemination of funding
opportunities, identifying and encouraging inter- and
intra-institutional collaborations for new grant applications, and
fostering an environment that heightens the visibility of sponsored
research within the University.  Additionally, this person will prepare
curriculum for and conduct training for faculty and staff on funding
opportunities, trends and grant writing in a one-on-one and small group
setting. This position is ideally suited for an outgoing and confident
individual capable of relating well to diverse personalities in a
one-on-one and small group setting.

Pre-Award Administrator This position serves as the key point of
contact for proposed and in-process grant applications and requires:
solid business and financial analytical skills, the ability to develop
accurate budgets and thorough budget narratives, direct knowledge of OMB
circulars applicable to educational institutions; the ability to provide
small group training, and excellent written and verbal communication
skills.  Additionally, this person will maintain the OSP website, review
completed funding proposals for accuracy and completeness and be the
resident expert in electronic research administration.

Syracuse University offers an excellent benefit package that includes
tuition, retirement, comprehensive health care plan, paid vacation and
the opportunity for continued professional development.
