Be a part of cutting-edge research that can change the world

team!

The mission of Notre Dame Research is to grow, strengthen,
promote and safeguard the research enterprise at Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is strategically and significantly investing in its
research enterprise, and experiencing an equally significant
return on that investment in growth in research dollars.

Notre Dame received a record-breaking $244 million in research
award funding for fiscal year 2022. This is more than $22 million
over the previous record and the second time the University has
surpassed the $200 million mark. To support this immense
growth, Notre Dame Research is recruiting research
administration professionals with experience in Pre-award
functions to expand the team that will steward our research
enterprise into its next phase.

We are seeking career motivated, critical-thinking and
conscientious professionals to join the Pre-Award Services team
serving Notre Dame's world-class faculty and students in creating,
assembling, vetting, and submitting proposals for external
funding. Pre-Award team members are assigned a portfolio of
principal investigators and their lab personnel to provide a single
point of contact for faculty and administrators in the colleges and
departments. They are responsible for supporting faculty in
preparing and submitting proposals and applications to sponsors
in accordance with each funding agency's guidelines and
mandates. Responsibilities include but are not limited to drafting
proposal budgets and justifications; obtaining clearances on cost
share commitments and other requests for organizational
support; responding to application inquiries and meeting with
faculty and administrators to review proposal guidelines and
prepare non-scientific and programmatic aspects of proposals.
Entry level employees will be assigned a Pre-Award team mentor
and receive practical training as well as scaffolded support as
their knowledge and experience grows. Currently, this team
facilitates over 1,200 proposals requesting over $789 million in
research and training funds annually.

Notre Dame Research Administration strives to deliver a seamless
customer-service experience to our faculty and researchers
throughout the entirety of the research lifecycle. Thus, members
of the Pre-Award Services team must be able to work both
independently and collaboratively within a wider team. They will
use and grow their best judgment to identify when additional
approvals or consultation on federal compliance, IRB, IACUC,
Export Control, and more are required.

Notre Dame Research fully embraces the University's efforts to
cultivate a coaching culture across all levels of its personnel,
which encourages having regular, synergistic conversations
between employees and supervisors and two-way feedback.

We are searching for entry, mid-level (level II), and senior career
(level III) professionals, who have deep curiosity and strong desire
to learn. Responsibilities and level of supervision required will be
determined according to the qualifications and experience of the
successful candidates. The Pre-Award team takes advantage of
the University's Hybrid and Fully Remote Work Program, which
provides the opportunity to work in a remote location exclusively
or up to a determined number of days per week depending on
circumstances and demands of the position.

These are perfect positions for individuals who are career driven,
comfortable being empowered to work independently, self-
motivated, deadline driven, seeks out challenges and wishes to be
