About the Role
The Human Biology Division is home to 24 faculty-led labs focused on cancer and infectious disease research.

This is a fast-paced, high-volume role where things move quickly, and faculty may not always be available. The ideal candidate can stay organized under pressure, take initiative, and enjoys making complex systems run more smoothly behind the scenes. Our admin team leans on each other for support, values clarity and kindness, and believes in doing high-quality work with integrity and respect. In our dynamic environment, we prioritize learning as we go and helping each other figure things out.
