Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to a climate that supports students, faculty and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.

Supervise and develop eight non-academic staff in the areas of finance, personnel, curriculum, enrollment, and facilities operations. Interpret and implement financial, human resource, and other administrative policies. Coordinate administration of teaching resource allocation, budget process, teaching replacement and visitor funding, and the teaching assistant budget. Monitor, oversee and forecast balances for appropriated, gift, endowment, and grant accounts.

The manager must coordinate and manage the interrelationships and activities of these areas and the cross-functional impacts of program and resource decisions. Manage or support long range planning projects for the chair and faculty with respect to resources, operations, and policy development. Institute sound administrative procedures to ensure consistency, fairness, and compliance in operations. This position is the main contact for other sectors of the university with respect to administrative matters and is responsible for effectively communicating and collaborating with college and university offices to advocate for the department and fulfill the department and university missions.
