The Faculty Affairs Administrator 2 will advise the Department Chair, DFA and Division Chiefs on matters including faculty searches, leaves, sabbaticals, recalls and other actions and will act as a liaison between the Department and the Office of Academic Affairs.

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine places high importance on advancing science and integrating our mission with those of clinical innovation and service, educational excellence, community engagement and commitment, and professionalism and leadership development. This approach allows us to change future understanding and practices in our fields of science, the health professions, and society at large.
