In this role, reporting directly to the Associate Dean, the Director leads all research administration functions for the College, overseeing the full lifecycle of externally funded awards across federal, state, foundation, and industrial sponsors.

This position directs the EMS Research Office in delivering high-quality pre-award, post-award, and compliance support aligned with sponsor requirements, University policies and procedures, and the College's research strategy.

Identify and implement process improvements that enhance service consistency, operational efficiency, and researcher experience across EMS. Represent the College on University-wide committees and initiatives related to research administration modernization, policy implementation, and shared services. Champion scalable solutions and standardization of best practices.
Contribute to College research strategy through analysis of proposal activity, expenditures, sponsor trends, faculty engagement, and portfolio growth opportunities. Develop and present metrics, dashboards, reports, and briefing materials that support strategic decision-making and research growth.
Interpret evolving federal, state, sponsor, and University policies and translate them into effective College practices. Proactively identify compliance and audit risks and implement appropriate controls, training, and monitoring practices to safeguard the College's research enterprise.
