GENERAL SUMMARY OF POSITION:
Under the direction of the Associate Vice Chancellor/Director or designee, the Administrative Coordinator performs complex and varied duties associated with the coordination of departmental administrative functions.
The Department of Systems Biology (DSB) at UMass Chan Medical School focuses on major questions in the broad field of Systems Biology, ranging from how bacteria affect physiology and drug responses, to how the genome folds and is expressed, to how cells and organisms die or live. DSB science uses experimental approaches in a variety of model systems, both established (worms, yeast, mice) and novel (dinoflagellates), computational approaches to network biology, and mathematical modeling. The DSB evolved from the Program in Systems Biology, which was founded in 2011. The Department currently hosts seven tenured or tenure-track faculty and is projected to grow substantially over the next years. DSB aims to be among the leading Systems Biology departments in the country through the pursuit of cutting edge interdisciplinary and collaborative research, and by teaching and training scientists in disciplines ranging from genomics, genetics, computational biology, and biophysics. The DSB boasts an open and inclusive culture where trainees, faculty, and staff from all stages in their career are strongly encouraged to participate, so they can reach their full potential.
