In collaboration with partners across ECU, develop, revise, and enforce postdoctoral scholar policies including updating and maintaining a postdoctoral scholar handbook and website.

Serve as institutional contact for the National Postdoctoral Association and federal agencies supporting postdoctoral scholars (e.g., NIH, NSF, AAMC Group on Research, Education and Training), advocate for resources to support postdoctoral scholars (including representation at annual statewide meetings to establish health insurance benefits for postdoctoral scholars and dental residents). Anticipate, prepare for, and engage in national trends related to postdoctoral fellows. Strategically partner with administrators and faculty in schools, colleges, centers, and institutes at ECU, and the Office of Global Affairs (for international postdoctoral scholars) to support postdoctoral scholars in recruitment and onboarding activities. Serve as advisor to the ECU Postdoctoral Association and liaison to the Office of Research Integrity and Compliance to ensure delivery of required responsible conduct of research training for postdoctoral scholars. Collaborate with and support research development staff in planning, execution, and oversight of events, programs, and services for postdoctoral scholars. Write, submit, and manage grant proposals to support and enhance postdoctoral resources, programming, and career exploration opportunities. Work with the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research Development to develop and update annual reports on activities related to the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
