About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for its Department of Physics. The CAO will be responsible for the overall leadership, strategic planning, and management of all administrative activities within the department. This includes fiscal management, contracts, grants, and gifts, payroll, human resources, student affairs, and external relations. The successful candidate will oversee the management of research and teaching laboratories, and office space, and ensure the safety and proper utilization of departmental facilities. The CAO will also serve as the principal advisor to the department's leadership and play a significant role in the development and assessment of strategic plans. Applicants for the CAO position should have a thorough knowledge of the university budget process and experience in managing complex financial operations.
