Dear Colleagues, At the risk of sounding like a stuck record (and I know I lot of you remember "stuck records" ) I have yet another job posting.... Due to a career transition, we are re-opening the search for a Senior Grant & Contract Officer. The good news is that right now you could probably get a really good deal on on Ed McMahon's home, which is an easy commute to the campus ;-). The bad news is that we can't pay you enough to buy it :-(. *************** The Burns & Allen Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a growing institution, with an annual research volume nearing $60,000,000 so this is an excellent opportunity to be part of that expansion. Please review the job description below and refer anyone who may be interested. We are looking for 5-10 years direct experience in a centralized sponsored programs "preward" or combined pre-postaward office, and our research profile is heavily concentrated on NIH funding. Ability to deliver training and to mentor staff is essential. Certified Research Administrator is desirable (but _not_ required) for a Senior level appointment. This is a permanent, full-time exempt position. Candidates from outside of California who require relocation assistance will be considered. Anyone who is interested please email your resume directly to me. If you have questions about this opportunity plz call me & I'll be glad to discuss ;-) Joanne Joanne Lazzaro Manager, Sponsored Research and Funds Administration Burns & Allen Research Institute Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 6500 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1150 Los Angeles, CA 90048 Office (310) 423-4603 Fax (310) 423-0493 Cell (310) 498-0153 xxxxxx@cshs.org ************************************** SENIOR Grant and Contract Officer Burns & Allen Research Institute Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles, CA Exempt, Full-Time, Regular (1 position) Reports to: Manager, Sponsored Research and Funds Administration.
