Position Highlights

Steward Observatory is both a century-old observatory on the University of Arizona campus and one of the University’s oldest research units. Founded in 1918, the Observatory brings together students, staff, faculty, engineers, and technicians to explore the universe and share discoveries through world-class research, education, and outreach. With more than 180 professionals supporting advanced facilities, laboratories, and observatories, Steward Observatory offers a collaborative environment where technical expertise plays a critical role in advancing ground- and space-based astronomy.

The University of Arizona's Steward Observatory invites you to apply for the role of Research Program Administrator. In this position, you will be a member of a large team and will be able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Working closely with the Program Manager of Compliance and Contracts, you will support the project principal investigator and project directors by coordinating day-to-day project management activities and helping ensure successful project execution.

You will play a key role in maintaining compliance and asset logs, preparing subaward and vendor routing documents, monitoring and tracking subaward and vendor invoices and payments. This is a fast-paced work environment that requires the ability to adapt, prioritize competing responsibilities, and pivot as needs evolve. You will also collaborate with the Steward Observatory Business and Research Offices, the UA Financial Services Office, and external partners and vendors to help achieve project objectives and deliverables.

Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Outstanding U of A benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; U of A/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to U of A recreation and cultural activities; and more!
