The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) provides oversight of much of UW's broad research enterprise, and is responsible for an array of multidisciplinary research centers and institutes, research policies, and federal, state, and institutional compliances. This includes evaluating conflict of interest, human subjects, animal welfare, and responsible conduct of research and negotiation of industry contracts.

The OVCR-IT team creates and maintains information systems that are critical to the administration and management of the research enterprise. Users of these systems include, but are not limited to:

-- Researchers: including faculty, postdocs, staff, and students who need to comply with federal, state, and university policies pertaining to research
-- Administrative staff who help faculty members stay on top of their obligations
-- Human resources staff who facilitate staffing, benefits, and compensation
-- University leadership teams that administer competitions for internal grant funding

As a member of our team, you will collaborate with partners all across campus to deliver high-quality services to the entire UW-Madison community.

OVCR is committed to the continuing professional development of its staff, with opportunities to attend professional conferences, online training, and other educational opportunities. We recognize that curiosity and a variety of professional interests are hallmarks of driven, self-motivated individuals. The larger UW Madison campus also provides opportunities for growth and support through its professional communities, such as UW Women in IT, and UW IT Mentoring. UW Madison hosts a number of self-organized conferences, such as IT Professional Conference, and the Information & Technology Leadership Conference, providing employees with a means to hone their presentation skills and share their expertise with the larger IT campus community.

The UW-Madison campus is comprised of over 900 acres of picturesque grounds located on the shores of Lake Mendota. The campus is bounded on the east and south by the City of Madison and on the west by the village of Shorewood Hills. The location of the campus, the need to develop within the existing campus boundaries, the desire to preserve open space and the numbers of people accessing the campus on a daily basis contribute to this being one of the more complex transportation/parking systems in the Midwest. The campus has over 19.5 million gross square feet of building space and offers a broad array of undergraduate, graduate, professional, research and advanced academic programs. The UW-Madison is the flagship university in the 26 campus University of Wisconsin System and one of the nation's largest and most productive research institutions in higher education.
