Corporate & Foundation Relations
Medford/Boston
14 Hours/Week
Overview
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR), a unit of University Advancement, is the focal point for raising funds from and building partnerships with private foundations and companies. Its work spans all three of Tufts campuses (in Medford, Boston and, Grafton). Externally, the CFR staff develops relationships with and solicits prospective funders, while internally it is actively engaged with administration, faculty, and advancement staff in all Tufts schools to further university funding priorities.
Job Description
The CFR office is in need of part-time help with on-line research, writing, and administrative duties to assist front-line development officers. Successful candidates will support efforts at the Medford campus for the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and The Fletcher School; and at the Boston campus for the Schools of Nutrition, Medicine, Dental, and Veterinary Medicine–as well as selected cross-university initiatives. We seek candidates with exceptional research and good writing skills; proficiency in Microsoft Office applications; the ability to respond to changing priorities, work assignments, and officer support needs; and the desire to function in a fast-paced environment. We place particular value on candidates who are information specialists–who have the research knowledge, creativity, drive, and curiosity to identify connections (in terms of mission and people) between Tufts programs and potential corporate and foundation funding partners. For example, students of library science who are looking for part-time work may find this a good fit.
We are seeking to fill positions for the 2014-2015 academic year.
