Administrative Associate

The mission of the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine is to be among the very best institutions in the world for ocular health. We aim to do this through technically outstanding and compassionate care for our patients, cutting edge basic and translational research, and training of the next generation of leaders and practitioners in our field in the prevention and treatment of vision loss.

We are seeking an Administrative Associate 2 to join our growing and thriving team.

Working under general supervision of the department Administrative and Facilities Manager, our Administrative Associates play a vital supportive role to our faculty and department operations. In addition to general duties supporting an assigned list of faculties such as calendaring, assisting with office moves, and supply ordering, Administrative Associates have the opportunity to support department events, collaborate with operational teams in specialty areas such as HR and finance, and help move forward the innovative and impactful work our faculty undertake.

Our department is home to diverse faculty, trainees, staff, and researchers and we encourage applications from individuals from diverse experiences and backgrounds, broadly defined. This is an exciting time for a motivated, outcomes-oriented individual to join our department and to make an immediate impact to vision science and ocular health.
