CNAS is looking for a CNAS Dean Fellow for Research interested in helping faculty within the college with grant writing.

Minimum qualifications – CNAS tenured faculty with funded external research grant in the past 5 years.

CNAS Faculty Fellow for Research Duties

ü  Provide one-on-one help to faculty who want some extra help on grant writing – organization, clarity of objectives, inclusion of required materials (e.g., undergraduate teaching component, ethics, outreach to schools/community, space, vendor quotations, and deliverables),  and budgets.

ü  Coordinate and offer a workshop on grant-writing for college faculty each semester or at least once a year.

ü  Build a team and help that team submit one major proposal in the year.  (Dean’s office already has 3-4 ideas.)

Term – One year but the position is renewable upon application and satisfactory performance.

Successful candidates will receive a one-course release during the spring semester and a stipend of $2500 for the fall 2009 semester and $2500 for the spring 2010 semester.  (Typically the candidates would receive a course release for both semesters but I can’t do that this fall with the late start.  I realize that this may make for a slow start this fall but I still think that we can get something accomplished.)

To apply – Send a letter of interest addressing the qualifications requested, any experience on a federal review panel, and any other ideas you would have for this position to CNAS Dean’s Office by 5:00 PM, September 10, 2009.

To nominate a colleague – Send a letter to the CNAS Dean’s Office and we will notify and encourage your colleague to apply.

The CNAS Administrative Team will serve as the search committee for this appointment.
