Job description

Department Summary
As a leading NIH supported population research Center, CCPR is both a cooperative of UCLA faculty and graduate students who carry out basic and applied research and training in demography, as well as a training center hosting research scholars, postdoctoral scholars and graduate student researchers. CCPR provides research and training for well over 200 faculty, graduate students and researchers at any given time, and administers three separate interdisciplinary training programs with reporting requirements to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as well as UCLA.
CCRDC is a facility for research analysis of confidential census data. It operates under contract with the U.S. Census Bureau. There are two satellite census research data centers at USC and UCI but managed by the Assistant Director through CCRDC. At CCPR the Assistant Director oversees operations of five infrastructure cores with a total combined faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and staff of approximately 200.
Position Summary
The Assistant Director serves as the chief administrative (CAO) and financial (CFO) officer for two extramurally-funded research centers: the California Center for Population Research (CCPR) at UCLA and the UCLA California Census Research Data Center (CCRDC). CCPR and CCRDC are housed in the Social Sciences Division with a large contingent of active participants from other units, including satellite research centers at USC and UCI. The budget for both centers comes from contracts and grants (current portfolio over $22 million) which must be sought out or renewed on a continual basis. In addition, CCPR is the intellectual home to the Master of Professional Data Science (MPDS) program, a self-supporting graduate professional degree program (SSGPDP), which prepares students for data-intensive careers in industry, government, and the nonprofit sector. The incumbent is responsible for all financial planning for the two centers and the MPDS, including overseeing the budgets at all satellite and partner locations, ensuring satisfaction of all reporting requirements with UCLA, UCOP, NIH, and the Census Bureau, as well as ensuring adherence to all policies, procedures and practices of each satellite and partner locations. The Assistant Director monitors expenditures, utilizing University systems. The Center has 26 administrative and research staff members and more than 30 graduate student researchers and over 30 research consultants at U.S. and foreign institutions. The incumbent works with the directors and other faculty administrators to establish and execute short and long-term plans, including the pursuit of continued funding, as all of the extramural funds require re-application, and the success of the MPDS program. The Assistant Director oversees the academic personnel process, including, but not limited to recruitment, preparation of dossiers, and committee reports. The Assistant Director supervises staff that oversee departmental space and equipment inventory and oversees the department's seminar, workshop, and event scheduling. The Assistant Director provides leadership in the planning of all special events, retreats, lectures, and conferences.
