Job Summary
The School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA) is a leading centre for innovation in governance and global public policy. The School is home to the Liu Institute for Global Issues, the Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI), the Office of Regional and International Community Engagement (ORICE), the Pacific Affairs journal, and the Institute of Asian Research (IAR) which includes 5 distinct research centres focusing on Southeast Asia, India and South Asia, China, Korea, and Japan. With a university-wide mandate, the school offers a wide range of programming for students at all levels, faculty, staff, and the community to engage in.

This Research Coordinator will support for ongoing research conducted by Dr. Veena Sriram providing administrative support for projects focused on global health workforce policy, and supporting the preparation and submission of new grant proposals.

In collaboration with the Dr. Veena Sriram, coordinates project work plans by setting timeframes, completing tasks and tracking progress for grant and ethics application requirements.
Assists with tracking research budgets by reviewing ongoing grants, as well as summarizing and categorizing financial resources (i.e., staff, travel, and other cost categories).
Tracks and reconciles expenditures to ensure alignment with funding agency guidelines and institutional policies; proactively identifies and resolves discrepancies in collaboration with finance teams.
Maintains financial records and reporting systems, utilizing tools such as Workday, Excel, and other financial management platforms to ensure accurate tracking, forecasting, and reporting of grant-related finances.

Supports the development of new grant applications, including:
- Coordinating timelines and deliverables with internal and external collaborators.

Contributes to knowledge mobilization efforts, such as organizing dissemination activities, maintaining project websites or newsletters, and supporting public engagement initiatives.

Consequence of Error/Judgement

Inappropriate judgment could impact the team’s capacity to achieve deliverables, and to achieve timely and accurate research outputs. This role is expected to demonstrate strong judgement when creating public-facing deliverables, and errors or poor judgement could result in reputational damage to the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and more broadly, the University of British Columbia.

Experience in research administration, project coordination, or a related role, preferably in an academic or non-profit setting.
Experience supporting grant-funded research projects, including budget management, ethics submissions, and grant application processes.
Strong organizational and time-management skills, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously.
Proficiency in financial tracking and budget management, including experience with financial systems (e.g., Workday, Excel) and interpreting funding agency guidelines.

Familiarity with research ethics processes and experience preparing ethics applications.
Detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy in managing documentation, records, and submission materials.

Proficiency with digital tools and platforms used in research administration (e.g., grant submission portals, reference management software, collaborative platforms like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365).
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, and external partners.

Equity and Diversity:

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. If two candidates are of equal merit, Canadian law requires that Canadians and permanent residents of Canada be given priority.
