Job Summary
The University of Colorado Boulder is encouraging applications for the Administrative Assistant to the Public Health Program position! This position is responsible for providing administrative, financial, outreach, and event support to the Director, Assistant Director, and Executive Committee of the Public Health Program (PBHL). PBHL is a newly created interdisciplinary program that resides in the Natural Sciences division of the College of Arts & Sciences. The program includes a PBHL undergraduate certificate with up to about 300-400 students enrolled and a new bachelor's degree (B.A.) starting in Fall 2025. A sizable portion of the position's responsibilities will be managing the PBHL undergraduate curriculum. As most of the courses for the major are run by other departments, this will require scheduling Public Health specific courses and, more significantly, coordinating with other A&S departments to ensure courses needed for PBHL are offered with frequency and capacity to meet student needs.
The position will work closely with the PBHL Director and Assistant Director to plan and implement all aspects of the complex course schedule, along with support for PBHL initiatives (e.g., internships, independent study, honors program, awards, marketing, and events). The position also provides budgetary, financial, policy, and administrative support to the PBHL Director, engaging in long-term strategic projects and planning in consultation with the Director and Assistant Director.
This position will serve as the primary point of contact - phone and email - for internal and external inquiries, which will require extensive knowledge of the program and related college and campus offices and policies. The person in this position will communicate and interact with varied audiences, including high-level administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, key donors, and community members.
The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
