About us:
The University of Toronto Scarborough is a place of energy, enthusiasm and passion. Our commitment to inclusive excellence attracts the brightest learners, scholars and employees from around the globe. Our success has been made possible by the opportunity given to us by our Indigenous hosts to operate on their territory, and we cherish our continuing partnerships with these communities. The University of Toronto Scarborough is an exciting campus with unlimited potential. Join us on our journey. The Department of Human Geography, the Department of Political Science, and the Department of Global Development Studies at the University of Toronto Scarborough consist of award-winning faculty who combine active and productive research programs with teaching innovation and excellence. Many of the Faculty’s expertise extend well beyond Canada to cover all regions of the globe. All our programs focus on teaching the core skills of critical thinking, qualitative and quantitative research methods and analysis, and excellence in writing. In order to advance the program objectives of the three Departments, we are recruiting for an Assistant to the Chairs, who will provide administrative and confidential secretarial support to the Chairs and demonstrate commitment to the success of the academic departments.
This search aligns with the University’s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members ( Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence ). Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply.
Your opportunity: Working closely with the Chairs of the Departments and directly reporting to the Manager, Finance and Administration, you will be responsible for providing a variety of advanced administrative support services to the Chairs of Human Geography, Political Science and Global Development Studies. As the Assistant to the Chairs, you will be equipped to work in a high-paced and multi-faceted role that requires exceptional planning and organizational skills. You will be expected to not only support the diverse day-to-day needs of the Chairs, but will also play an integral role in supporting the Department’s events activities. In addition, you will oversee administrative matters, compose correspondence, reports and other communications, as well as coordinate the Chairs' schedules while maintaining confidentiality. You will identify urgent matters of high importance and alert the Chairs to necessary actions, responding to, redirecting, or making referrals based on understanding of priorities and activities of the Chairs'. Under the provision of University procedures and guidelines, you will work closely with each Chair to coordinate academic processes, including all academic searches (teaching and tenure stream as well as contract and stipendiary faculty), reviews, tenures, leaves, promotions, as well as supporting the preparation and distribution of workload and salary letters. You will also coordinate and support all administrative activities surrounding Adjunct and status only faculty, as well as visiting researchers/faculty. You will take a lead role in the coordination and execution of a wide range of events in support of the Department’s Undergraduate programs as well as its community outreach efforts. You will be involved with all aspects of the planning, coordination and execution of large and small events, including determining logistical requirements, supporting travel and accommodations, on-site supervision and event direction. In addition, your exceptional organizational and customer service skills will enable you to proactively engage and support the needs of the Chairs and the Department, ensure the effectiveness of our processes and enhance the overall experience for our students, staff and faculty.
