The Arizona's Science, Engineering, and Math Scholars Program (ASEMS) is designed to improve retention, persistence in STEM, academic performance, and graduation rates for students who are first generation, from low-income households, have disabilities, are veterans, or who have transferred from a community college and are pursuing a degree in a STEM field (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). This position will directly supervise 1.75 ASEMS staff and oversee the training for staff, peer mentors, and tutors supporting ASEMS transfer programming.

The Assistant Director will oversee project implementation in accordance with federal legislation and regulations, institutional guidelines, and the grant narrative.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; state and optional retirement plans; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
