Program Manager

Job Description

JOB SUMMARY:

 Please note: This is a part-time, 50% appointment with full benefits, including medical, vision, and dental coverage.

 We're looking for a Program Manager to help lead operations for an NIH-funded mentoring and research program at UCSF, which trains the next generation of investigators working to eliminate hepatitis C among people who use drugs. You'll join a small, high-functioning research group where your judgment on program design, not just execution, is expected and valued.

 As the operational backbone of the Morris Mentoring Circle, a tiered mentoring structure spanning students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, and of the PI's broader HCV research portfolio, you will own the systems that make mentoring, research administration, and departmental initiatives run well: dashboards that make progress visible, reporting that satisfies NIH reporting requirements without redundant effort, and event and meeting logistics that reflect well on the program to funders, collaborators, and community partners.

 This role suits someone who treats good enough trackers and templates as unfinished work, who can take a loosely defined task (build a mentee progress system, evaluate a workshop series) and turn it into a feasible, reusable tool, and who is comfortable being the person others rely on to know where things stand. In all activities, the role reflects UCSF's PRIDE values, professionalism, respect, integrity, diversity, and excellence, in how it supports mentees, faculty, and community partners alike. 

 DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:

 The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (DEB), housed within the UCSF School of Medicine, is the largest department of epidemiology in the University of California system. The DEB is the epicenter of many of UCSF’s initiatives in population health, data science and informatics, health service research, health equity and artificial intelligence. The DEB has three missions: 1) education, 2) science, and 3) research. Its educational mission is to train students in epidemiologic and biostatistical methods for studying disease etiology and prevention, evaluating tests and treatments, and using evidence-based approaches in clinical practice and population health. The scientific mission of the DEB is to perform outstanding basic, clinical and population health research along a spectrum from molecules to society and to develop tools for the translation of knowledge that will improve clinical practice and population health and ensure optimal use of resources. The clinical mission of the Department is to support the practice of public health and preventive medicine in local, state, national and international health agencies.
