The University of Washington (UW) is proud to be one of the nation’s premier educational and research institutions. Our people are the most important asset in our pursuit of achieving excellence in education, research and community service. Our staff not only enjoys outstanding benefits and professional growth opportunities, but also an environment noted for diversity, community involvement, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits, and natural beauty.

The Department of Global Health was established in 2007, bridging the schools of Medicine and Public Health, with a mandate to harness the expertise and interdisciplinary power of all UW schools and colleges. Driven by tremendous interest among both students and faculty, the Department has grown explosively to more than 400 graduate students and hundreds more undergraduates. We have more than 280 faculty and 1,000 staff working on projects across 93 countries with our deepest ties in Peru, Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia.
The Department was made possible by generous support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and additional support from the University of Washington and state of Washington.

The Department of Global Health has an outstanding opportunity for a full-time Graduate Program Manager – Pathobiology . This position oversees all programatic activities related to the Interdisciplinary Pathobiology Graduate Program. Activities include pre- and currently enrolled student advising; budget authority and oversight; grant, report, and fellowship support, submission, acquisition, and management; program operations include; participation on faculty committees including steering, admissions, curriculum; student affairs, and Graduate Student Advisory, student recruitment and program marketing; career development, alumni relations; among other tasks.

This position oversees all aspects of the Interdisciplinary Pathobiology Graduate Program. The graduate program grants PhD's in Pathobiology. Enrollment is approximately 35 students per year. The Pathobiology Graduate Program and subsequent demands on the Graduate Program Manager have some very unique and complex components that differentiate this program and manager position from other academic units on campus. Contingent upon satisfactory academic progress all enrolled Pabio students are supported via their positions as Research Assistants. The funding for these positions are provided through Global Health for their first year rotations and on subsequent years through subcontracts with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research, Seattle BioMedical, Seattle Children's Research Institute, Western Fisheries Research Center, Infectious Disease Research Institute, Training Grants and other sources based on each student's placement in their PI's lab. As a result, the Pabio Graduate Program directly manages the resources which support all in-coming graduate students in RA or TA appointments with stipends and tuition support. Subsequent years of support are typically provided in full through research grants, and large federal training grants. In addition the Pathobiology Program currently has an NIH Training Grant that funds 3 predoctoral Pabio students and 3 postdoctoral fellows. The Graduate Program Manager oversees and manages the Training Grant for the program as well.

The Graduate Program Manager is responsible for overseeing all Graduate Program activities, ensuring graduate students are appropriately placed on correct budgets, and overseeing letters of appointment in compliance with UW graduate student union requirements. The Graduate Program Manager conducts student advising and counseling, pre-admission recruitment, marketing, career development, and alumni relations. The position requires participation on faculty committees and works closely with other graduate student entities on campus. The size, scope and complexities of the Graduate Program require a much greater and expanded role of the Manager beyond more limited activities of student recruitment and advising found in other units across campus.

Faculty for the Pabio graduate program are housed at more than 5 different locations in the greater Seattle area and come from a variety of Departments at the University of Washington. Sites include Seattle Biomedical, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research, Harborview, Infectious Disease Research Institute, and the UW Seattle campus. Students conduct the majority of their study off site in their PI's lab. To successfully manage all aspects of the Pabio program, the manager is required to interface and build relationships with administrative staff at all sites as well as the faculty and students in these locations. The Program Manager is also required to make professional judgments based on the policies from all of these different locations that apply to students and/or faculty.

RESPONSIBILITIES
