Associate Director - Faculty Affairs

The Associate Director - Faculty Affairs will provide administrative leadership in human resources, faculty development, quality improvement and facilities management for the Department of Medicine's clinical, education, research and community outreach missions under the direction of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and Chair of the Department of Medicine. The Associate Director will act in the stead of the CAO when the CAO is not available. This position will independently identify problems and develop solutions and direct others in implementation of the solutions. The incumbent will be expected to keep current with new innovations in academic medicine, make independent decisions regarding staffing for the support areas within various units, and participate in the strategic planning process providing input on prioritizing goals.

The position entails a high level of complexity in day-to-day operations and requires a high level of initiative, creativity and personal responsibility. The complexity is evident as the individual must work with and coordinate operations and human resources between several entities such as the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), the UW Health (UWH), and affiliated hospitals.

The Associate Director - Faculty Affairs reports directly to the Chief Administrative Officer for the Department of Medicine and works in close cooperation as a member of the administrative leadership team.
