Project Manager, AI Institute

The AI Institute Project Manager provides centralized administrative, operational, and communications support for the AI Institute, a newly established research unit within the Office of Research at Syracuse University. Reporting to the Institute Director, the Project Manager serves as the institute's primary administrative coordinator, responsible for day-to-day operations that enable faculty, staff, and researchers to focus on research and scholarship.

The Project Manager works in coordination with central university partners to ensure institute activities align with established processes and policies. Research administration coordination is performed in partnership with the Office of Sponsored Programs, Research Development, Sponsored Accounting, the Research Post-Award team, and schools/colleges. Finance and operations are coordinated with the Office of Research Finance and Operations team and the Graduate School. Communications work is coordinated with the institute's external marketing partner and SU's marketing and communications teams as needed. Reporting and metrics work is coordinated with the VPR Data team.

This is a generalist role designed to provide centralized administrative capacity at launch, working in partnership with central university units that lead specialist functions.
