Senior Associate Provost for Research Compliance and Regulatory Affairs
Yale University seeks an experienced, strategic, and collaborative leader to serve as its next Senior Associate Provost for Research Compliance and Regulatory Affairs (SrAP-RCRA). Reporting to the Vice Provost for Research, the SrAP-RCRA will lead key areas within university research administration, including offices responsible for managing the operational and compliance functions related to export controls, research integrity and security, human research protection, use of animals in research, and conflict of commitment and conflict of interest. As a key leader in the Office of the Vice Provost for Research, this inaugural role will develop strategies to bolster the effectiveness, transparency, and efficiency of a broad array of regulatory affairs, compliance, and research operations.
With overall responsibility for managing the services needed to support faculty research across the university related to compliance and regulatory affairs, the SrAP-RCRA will manage Yale’s rapidly expanding regulatory and compliance portfolio with a strong focus on faculty service, transparency, and efficiency. An essential aspect of the role will be establishing a strong partnership with the Senior Associate Provost for Sponsored Projects (SrAP-SP). The two Senior Associate Provosts will jointly oversee two offices in support of data analytics and research compliance and serve as the key leaders working closely with the Vice Provost for Research to ensure the overall operational and compliance effectiveness of the research administration infrastructure.
The SrAP-RCRA will support the unit leaders in deepening their professional growth and expertise, including building collaborations across domains to enhance team engagement. The SrAP-RCRA will also serve as the Institutional Official (IO) for the animal care and use program and the human research protection program, and work in partnership with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and the University’s Institutional Review Boards. Additionally, the SrAP-RCRA will serve as a strategic administrative partner for the Yale School of Medicine and the Yale Cancer Center and their rapidly expanding clinical trials programs.
The SrAP-RCRA will work in collaboration with university leadership, central offices, schools, and departments to manage risks and maintain compliance with regulations associated with the research enterprise. Ensuring proactive, responsive, transparent, efficient, ethical, and compliant research practices are implemented across the institution, this role will develop and implement policies, manage cross-functional processes, and provide expert guidance to researchers and administrators with a customer-oriented, continuous improvement, data driven mindset that will foster a culture of compliance and service to the community.
Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree and 10 or more years of experience in a senior role in research administration, compliance, export controls, research integrity, human research protection, and/or conflict of interest. An advanced degree, including a JD, MD, PhD, is preferred. Research experience is a plus.
