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. The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering is seeking to hire a Senior Research Development Officer (SRDO). The SRDO will be responsible for increasing HCDE’s research competitiveness through targeted capacity building, supporting strategic initiatives, developing partnerships and interdisciplinary teams and large complex proposals, and research related professional development and programming. We seek a highly collaborative and versatile colleague with attention to detail, impeccable writing skills, and strong facilitation skills. Characteristics of the ideal candidate include curiosity, creativity, and compassion, and someone who thrives in a dynamic and interdisciplinary environment. The SRDO has two complementary roles: (1) facilitate the development and launch of large, collaborative research projects that include multiple investigators within the department and across the university; (2) support individual faculty members in identifying research funding opportunities and connecting with collaborators in service of those funding opportunities, and (for early career researchers) developing competitive research proposals. For (1), the SRDO will provide leadership, strategy development, and management of large/complex research proposals. For (2), the SRDO will assist all faculty in identifying research opportunities and potential collaborators in the department, across the university, and in the broader community; and will work closely with junior faculty members to identify and understand funding opportunities and support the development of competitive proposals and develop new funding streams. The SRDO will develop deep knowledge of individual faculty’s research agendas and programs, college-based and multidisciplinary research programs, and will participate in the expansion of existing programs and the development of new initiatives. They will both work with multi-collaborator teams of faculty to develop strategies for multi-million-dollar programs with broad impact. The SRDO will further develop and maintain relationships with federal and non-federal extramural sponsors in support of faculty research development efforts, with a focus on building a sustainable matrix of sponsorship from diverse sources, including collaborative research with industry, and will leverage faculty strengths and internal funding programs to map to key sponsor activities. The SRDO will strengthen the institutional infrastructure for promoting interdisciplinary research and scholarly development across the university, working closely with members of research support services across the network.
