Other

The Cancer and Hematology Centers is in need of an operations manager to provide supervisory guidance to the admin staff who support faculty. This includes standardizing their roles, procedures for ordering, scheduling, maintaining calendars, as well as processing reimbursements and travel. In addition, assistance is needed in submitting, creating and managing postings for positions as well as additional oversight for faculty recruitment and promotions. This will create redundancy where none exists at the moment and allow standardization of administrative tasks and processes across the Cancer Center.
