Program Coordinator

The Program Coordinator will assist in the planning and coordination of the day-to-day fiscal, administrative, and operational activities of a University of New Mexico grant program sponsored by the Department of Labor. The New Mexico Open Educational Resources Consortium Phase II Program will continue and expand an Open Textbooks Pilot Program with several New Mexico colleges, as they work together to support the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into higher education classrooms. To help administer a program of this size, the Learning, Research, and Engagement unit in the UNM University Libraries will need additional support with reporting on our outcomes on the grant, udgeting the activities, and collaborating with stakeholders, and this program coordinator will fill that role. The program coordinator will provide administrative support for the day-to-day fiscal, administrative, and operational activities related to a program of this size. This individual’s primary responsibilities for the project will be to assist the program director with grant implementation and compliance with the guidelines for a grant. The ideal candidate for this position will have grant management experience as well as a compelling interest in data collection, outcomes assessment, OER advocacy, and student success. Additional duties will include assisting with grant planning and administration, fiscal, budgetary, and/or other associated transactions, program implementation and administration, internal and external operational/administrative liaison, program marketing, and reporting. This is a full-time term position with an initial term end date of one year from date of hire. The grant funding period currently runs through September 2028 and with new funding this position may be extended beyond the initial grant period. This position will report administratively to the University of New Mexico, but supports a grant-funded program accountable to New Mexico's Higher Education Department and the Department of Labor.

Founded in 1889, the University of New Mexico sits on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia. The original peoples of New Mexico – Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache – since time immemorial, have deep connections to the land and have made significant contributions to the broader community statewide. We honor the land itself and those who remain stewards of this land throughout the generations and acknowledge our committed relationship to Indigenous peoples. We gratefully recognize our history.
