Job Description:
The Leadership Alliance (TLA) was founded at Brown University and established in 1992 as a consortium of 23 institutions to address the shortage of underrepresented minorities in graduate programs in the sciences at competitive universities; it currently consists of 42 member institutions. The goal of this increased representation is to encourage underrepresented groups to seek careers that require training in research in a variety of disciplines and fields. The Alliance consortium includes leading research and teaching universities, historically black colleges and universities, and several institutions that primarily serve Hispanic and Native American students as well as industry partners. A core value of each institution is an intimate scholarly relationship built upon student-faculty mentoring, through which opportunities for undergraduate research in the biological, physical and social sciences as well as the humanities are promoted.
In collaboration with the Executive Office the Regional Liaison is responsible for developing and managing Alliance undergraduate and graduate programs administered regionally in partnership with Leadership Alliance institutions in the region. The Regional Liaison will support the following Leadership Alliance institutions: Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Virginia, and Howard University. The Regional Liaison in partnership with The Leadership Alliance Executive Office will implement and develop programs and workshops and recruit participants for regional professional development and research opportunities for students pursuing PhDs, postdoctoral scholars and faculty alumni researchers. These mechanisms may take the form of scholarships, mentoring, and professional development opportunities. Collaboration with Alliance coordinators is further demonstrated through committee work, business meetings, and ongoing review and support of best practices across the consortium. This position coordinates the recruitment for the national consortium's Summer Research Early Identification Program (SR-EIP), Academic Year Workshops, and First-Year Research Experience (FYRE) and supports Executive Office staff and Alliance coordinators on the implementation of specially funded programs for undergraduate and post baccalaureate in person and virtual research programs in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia region.
