Job Summary	The Project Manager will coordinate all aspects of this complex center grant. They will ensure that the project remains on-track (offering “course correction” suggestion when we get off-schedule) and will serve as the primary liaison with the NSF and other relevant agencies. They will also be responsible for developing the overall framework of the research program (e.g., meeting cadence, reporting structure, milestone tracking). Importantly, they will also coordinate the logistics of an international research program (tariffs, communication barriers, cultural barriers, currency exchange, permitting/approvals), which is incredibly non-trivial.
