Archaeology Center – Student Services Officer (SSO1) -Hybrid Opportunity

The School of Humanities and Sciences (H&S) is the foundation of a liberal arts education at Stanford. The school encompasses 23 departments and 25 interdisciplinary programs. H&S is home to fundamental and applied research, where free, open, and critical inquiry is pursued across disciplines. As the university’s largest school, H&S serves as the foundation of a Stanford undergraduate education no matter which discipline students pursue as a major. Graduate students work alongside world-renowned faculty to pursue and shape foundational research that leads to breakthroughs and discoveries that shed new light on the past, influence the present, and shape the future. Together, faculty and students in H&S engage in inspirational teaching, learning, and research every day.

The Stanford Archaeology Center is an inter-disciplinary hub focused on innovative research and education in archaeology and heritage. As a separate inter-disciplinary and inter-departmental program, we value the way that the Center has the independence to bring together diverse interests across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities.

We currently have an opening for a Student Services Officer to provide a full spectrum of services to support the Center’s undergraduate Major and Minor students, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars. Reporting to the Program Manager, the SSO is the face of the archaeology undergraduate program, with direct oversight of the program’s curriculum planning, student progress, field schools, and events. The SSO also supports the center’s fellowship programs, which include both postdoctoral and graduate fellowships. Although we do not have a graduate degree program, we do have a large graduate student community from several interdisciplinary fields. We continue to work on growing our graduate student engagement and the SSO is a big part of organizing and planning these activities.

An ideal candidate for the role will demonstrate exceptional organizational skills, strong written and verbal communication, the ability to track and meet frequent deadlines, and reliable attention to detail. The Student Services Officer must be able to manage time well, juggle many tasks at once, and enjoy liaising frequently with undergraduate and graduate students. We strongly value initiative and integrity, as well as a customer service mindset when supporting our student constituents. Good professional judgment is essential, as the job entails a great deal of outward engagement with students, and the person who fills this role must be able to represent the Center well as a first point of contact for the Archaeology program. Experience with Stanford administrative systems and familiarity with the university is a plus but is not strictly necessary.
