The Associate Director of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) is responsible for overseeing the implementation and monitoring of the center's strategic planning initiatives to ensure appropriate use of financial, administrative, and staffing resources in alignment with the strategic plan, including exercising supervisory authority. The Associate Director oversees the grant writing and the implementation of federally funded grants through private foundations, or consular agencies that support the center, including any other institutions identified for strategic growth and development in this area of study at UW-Madison.
