The University at Buffalo Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is seeking a dynamic, driven, and detail-oriented individual to fill a crucial role in the department as Administrative Assistant. This position requires an individual who will take initiative, maintain confidentiality, and be diplomatic, collaborative, and flexible at all times.

In this role, the Administrative Assistant will perform a variety of tasks, including:

  • Assisting faculty other than chair with scheduling of meetings, calendars, and other administrative support
  • Handling and distributing departmental mail, including managing all package shipping needs
  • Scheduling meetings and taking minutes for departmental faculty and, as requested, for the ATC

The Administrative Assistant position requires strong professional judgement and independent resourcefulness, while handling multiple time-sensitive projects that require concise problem-solving. The Administrative Assistant must be a self-motivated professional who is able to work both independently and as part of a team. This position will require on-the-job learning pertinent to new departmental initiatives and changes in UB policies and other, related regulations. A successful candidate will have the ability to communicate clearly and respectfully with diverse populations.
