Office of Research Grant Analyst

 

University of Alaska Anchorage

 

The University of Alaska Office of Research is seeking a detail-oriented and knowledgeable Grants Analyst to support the financial and administrative management of externally funded projects. This position oversees dozens of active accounts and proposals, ranging from small awards to multi-million dollar grants, ensuring compliance with university, state, and federal regulations. Key responsibilities include budget review, expenditure monitoring, payment tracking, and serving as a liaison between faculty, staff, and sponsoring agencies.

 

As a Grant Analyst, you will play a critical role in managing, analyzing, and reporting on grant-related financial activities. You will interpret budgets and expenditure activity using systems such as Banner, ensuring compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and institutional guidelines. You will communicate clearly and professionally-both verbally and in writing-with internal teams and external stakeholders, providing exceptional customer service and support.

 

In this role, you will be expected to quickly learn new systems and processes, share knowledge with others, and contribute to a collaborative team environment. You should be comfortable speaking in public, presenting financial information, and working with input from multiple sources. Success in this position requires strong multitasking skills, the ability to prioritize and re-prioritize in a dynamic environment, and a consistent commitment to meeting deadlines. Proficiency in word processing, spreadsheets, and other software tools is essential.

 

To thrive in this role, one must possess strong analytical and interpretive skills, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of federal, state, and institutional regulations governing sponsored programs. Success requires the ability to independently interpret and apply complex policies including Uniform Guidance, OMB Circulars, EDGAR, and UA/State of Alaska procedures. The ideal candidate is an effective communicator and collaborative liaison who can guide faculty and staff through proposal development, compliance requirements, and post-award financial management. Strong organizational skills, sound judgment, and proficiency in systems such as Banner and Q-Menu are essential for managing high volumes of awards and ensuring audit-ready documentation. A proactive mindset, aptitude for training development, and capacity to identify and resolve issues in budget, effort reporting, labor distribution, and spending compliance are critical for supporting both internal stakeholders and external sponsors.
