At IREACH we are deeply committed to community capacity building, equitable research partnerships, and promoting racial justice in academia and public health research.
The Fiscal Analyst Lead will be responsible for conducting a variety of activities to support research projects at the Institute for Research and Education to Advance Community Health (IREACH) from requirement gathering and needs assessment through design and implementation. The successful candidate will work with stakeholders and the project team to design and develop applications that will create an efficient process for researchers and their staff to procure and manage research grants.
