Job Title:

Senior Grants Development Specialist

Department:

Academic Affairs Administration | Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society

The Ohio State University’s motto, Disciplina in Civitatem, or “education for citizenship,” is not merely a slogan; it is an exhortation to remain focused on the responsibility to develop an informed, engaged, and civic-minded citizenry. It is essential to fulfilling Ohio State’s land-grant mission.

In 2023, the State of Ohio established and funded the Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society at Ohio State ("the Chase Center" or “the Center”). The Chase Center is a multidisciplinary university center that conducts teaching, research, and public programming concerning the core texts and great debates of Western civilization; the principles, ideals, and institutions of the American and Ohio political order; and the foundations of responsible leadership and informed citizenship. It is an independent academic unit of the University. The Center is a leader of the growing cadre of similar schools of civic thought in Ohio and throughout the country.

During its first year of operation, the Chase Center laid a strong foundation for long-term success, securing the Center’s mission to “conduct teaching and research in the historical ideas, traditions, and texts that have shaped the American constitutional order and society,” ORC § 3335.39. This upcoming year, the Center’s founding faculty will offer the Center’s first classes and degrees, the Center is hosting a robust suite of public programming, the Chase Society of students is large and growing, the Center launched its support for K-12 schools and their students, and the Center saw significant financial support from the United States, Ohio, and private supporters. The Center will grow toward maturity over the next four years.

Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society is conducting a search for the Center’s Senior Grants and Contracts Specialist, a person who will work closely with the Center’s leadership team to acquire the resources to build the Center into the flourishing academic community envisioned in
