Full Time
| As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world. UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty. All of which has allowed the UW to be nationally recognized as a “Great College to Work For” for six consecutive years. The Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington (APL/UW) is a premier center for research, development and advanced education in science and engineering. APL/UW was formed in 1943 at the request of the U.S. Navy to bring university resources to bear on urgent WWII defense problems. From a wartime beginning focused on effective torpedo exploders, APL/UW initiated acoustic studies and oceanographic research programs to understand how variations in the ocean environment affected the performance of Navy systems. Decades of acoustic and oceanographic studies yielded an understanding of the world's deep oceans. Today our scientists and engineers make important contributions to understanding the earth's climate cycles with satellite and in situ sensing of ocean winds, currents, and air-sea fluxes; observations of Arctic sea ice, its variations and effects on mid-latitude oceans; and ocean tomography that reveals how the abyssal ocean mixes and sequesters carbon. APL-UW continues to lead research in the basic and applied physics of sound—from sonars used to probe the geology of the deep ocean floor to hand-held high-frequency focused ultrasound devices to image and stop internal bleeding without surgery. APL has an outstanding opportunity for a Grants and Contracts Manager. The Center for Environmental and Information Systems (EIS) is one of eight research departments at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). EIS develops new methods for environmental observation and new tools for data analysis and signal processing. EIS’s three core research areas are: acoustics and signal processing; environmental sensing and modeling; and, information and control systems. Under the general supervision of the Department Head, this individual will assist in the management of the EIS’ grant and contract program and financial reporting of grants, contracts, and sub-awards. In addition, this position will provide event management support of special events and meetings within EIS. This position will have a very active, hands-on role in the pre-award process for 20-25 Principal Investigators (PIs). In addition, the position will provide support, and often, hands-on management in the post award process. This position will provide administration and day-to-day management, as assigned, of all research activities, assuring operational efficiency for the PIs and staff of the EIS research group. The person in this position is in regular contact with sponsor agencies, investigators within the University of Washington as well as directors and investigators at other research organizations (domestic and international). The Department Head will rely on this position to answer all key questions and manage issues related to research administration. The Grants and Contracts Manager serves as liaison between APL Business & Finance staff and the EIS PIs and staff to coordinate information, respond to requests, and resolve issues to assure the goals of the research projects are met. This person is responsible for coordination of issues between the research group, sponsor agencies, and University offices. The Grants and Contracts Manager works closely with researchers and University officials regarding compliance with federal regulations and will research future funding opportunities and advise faculty. RESPONSIBILITIES: Financial and Compliance Management Manage the assigned Principal Investigators pre and post award grants and contracts including: Quality Assurance Administrative Responsibilities REQUIREMENTS: Equivalent education/experience will substitute for all minimum qualifications except when there are legal requirements, such as a license/certification/registration. DESIRED: CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT: May be subject to successful completion of E-Verify process. Application Process: The application process for UW positions may include completion of a variety of online assessments to obtain additional information that will be used in the evaluation process. These assessments may include Work Authorization, Cover Letter and/or others. Any assessments that you need to complete will appear on your screen as soon as you select “Apply to this position”. Once you begin an assessment, it must be completed at that time; if you do not complete the assessment you will be prompted to do so the next time you access your “My Jobs” page.
