Preferred Experience:
  • Supporting large-scale center proposals (e.g., ERCs, MURIs, EFRCs) or institutional training grants.
  • Familiarity with NSF CAREER and other early-career funding mechanisms.
  • Experience in a research development or research strategy role within an R1 institution or national lab.
