Grant Operations Management and Creative Engagement
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking applications for two (2) postdoctoral positions in Grant Operations Management and Creative Engagement.
The Postdoctoral Fellow in Grant Operations Management and Creative Engagement will provide essential leadership in supporting grant funded efforts and related activities in the Fine Arts and Humanities at UNC-Chapel Hill. The person in this position will execute and develop workflows to support existing humanistic project-based grant work, easing bottlenecks and increasing energy for follow-on grant applications. Responsibilities will include both administrative and relationship aspects of project management. Fellows will be integral in building collaborative networks across campus and community partners that will enhance knowledge of (and participation in) grant activities. Arts & Humanities Grant Studio Postdoctoral Fellows will also identify and curate stories that make evident the impact of humanities grant based work for public audiences, campus leadership, and grant funders.
These postdoctoral positions offer project management learning opportunities for recent PhD recipients who want to interpret the meaning and importance of engaged humanities to university and public audiences and who want to work with university partners beyond individually authored research. This position will involve significant independent work but will be managed by the AHGS Grants Development Manager and supported by the Director.
