She asked me to share the following position announcement (previously announced only in the Chicago area; the search has been reopened). I have appended some comments I asked her to provide from her perspective as a faculty member, co-chair of the search, and director of the faculty development program: DEPT: Academic Affairs POSITION: Director of Sponsored Programs and Research FUNCTION: Develop a strong grants office by: identifying funding soures, pro-actively educating faculty about grant opportunities, and developing regional and national grant sources. The Director will work cooperatively with the Center for Educational Practice and the Office of Institutional Advancement. QUALIFICATIONS: Master's degree required, Doctorate preferred. Preference will be given to persons with 3-5 years experience in sponsored programs administration at a college or university. SALARY: Commensurate with experience and education. CONTACT: Send letter, curriculum vitae, and names of three references to: George C. Matthews, Ph.D. Vice President for Academic Affairs Saint Xavier University 3700 West 103rd Street Chicago IL 60655 APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 15, 1996 Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. FROM THE CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE DIRECTOR: The position of Director of Sponsored Programs and Research at Saint Xavier University in Chicago represents a newly-created office, initiated by a relatively new administration, including university president and academic vice president. The new director will receive their enthusiastic support in developing the office. Another very positive aspect of this position involves the excitement and anticipation of a faculty that has not had this type of support until now. The firmly-established Center for Educational Practice is run completely by faculty. This committee will work closely with the Director to identify and support faculty in their grantwriting efforts.. New office space has been allocated to jointly house the Director of Sponsored Programs and Research, support staff, and the Center for Educational Practice. This reflects our firm commitment to establishing a strong positive relationship between the faculty and the sponsored programs office as soon as the new director comes on board. NOTE: This faculty member and Center director, Julie McNellis, is also co-chair of the search committee and will respond to questions about the position via e-mail (xxxxxx@sxu.edu) or telephone (312-298-3145).
