George Mason University has a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of excellence and diversity among its faculty and staff, and strongly encourages candidates to apply who will enrich Mason’s academic and culturally inclusive environment.
About The Position
The successful candidate will support the research efforts of the Rapid Prototyping Research Center (RPRC) in the College of Engineering and Computing; will provide financial analysis, budgeting, fiscal operations, and financial reporting in support of the RPRC activity; and will have a dual reporting structure to both the CEC Chief Business Officer and RPRC Director.
About The Department
The Chief Business Officer provides supervision and oversight of CEC’s financial planning and management, research administration functions, human resources and IT functions. The Chief Business Officer also plays a central role in the collaboration and process improvement, and strategic planning processes for CEC.
The Rapid Prototyping Research Center (RPRC) focuses on providing its Department of Defense (DOD) sponsors a unique perspective on rapid prototyping that aligns with Section 804 in the Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. Specifically, rather than developing a new system to satisfy intractable problems on the battlefield, RPRC integrates new technology into existing infrastructure. This unique approach reduces acquisition costs since the sustainment tail is in place. It also reduces the time to field intractable solutions to the battlefield from 10-14 years down to 1-3 years, and provides assurance that the prototype involved is integrated with the latest technology; not dated technology due to lengthy acquisition delivery timelines.
