Faculty Administrative Assistant (3 Positions Available)

Essential Functions

Provide full administrative support to the faculty and department chairs in specific departments and locations on the campus.  Many work assignments will be of a recurring nature, others will require the exercise of some discretion and independent judgment in applying general office guidelines and practices to non-routine situations. Most work assignments will be carried out with minimal direction.

Job Parameters

Two of the three positions are on-going, year-round (12-month) positions; one position is an on-going, 9-month position with summers off.  The workweek  for all  three positions is 35 hours/week.

Skills

Both of the on-going, year-round positions require applicants who have had prior experience handling technical secretarial duties in the natural sciences in higher education, including PC-/Mac-based word processing and spreadsheets, a good working knowledge of scientific notation, and the ability to use an electric typewriter.

Self-motivation, initiative, organizational ability, and follow-up/follow-through skills are essential for all three positions. Successful candidates must be comfortable working with minimal supervision, and must possess the ability to adapt to a changing workload by re-prioritizing tasks. Both oral and written communication skills are essential.

Qualifications

Required – High school graduation and five years of progressively responsible experience in an administrative support capacity OR an associate degree and three years of such experience

Preferred – Bachelor’s degree and prior experience in an administrative support capacity in a college or university setting

Salary

Commensurate with qualifications; not less than $17.15 per hour
