The University if Minnesota confirmed today that Gov. Pawlenty's chief of staff Matt Kramer will be taking a job at the university.

Kramer will be director of the University of Minnesota's Academic and Corporate Relations Center.

The U says the Academic and Corporate Relations Center "builds connections between the global business community and the university's vast network of expertise, technology and talent. ACRC develops and implements a wide variety of strategies to engage, collaborate, partner and support companies worldwide."

Kramer is the former commissioner of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. He started there soon after the governor took office in 2003. He took over as chief of staff in December 2006.

He starts his new job on August 17. No word from the governor's office on who might replace him.
