"Qualifications" could be Preferred Qualifications. "Skills" could be specific skills like Excel, Banner, etc. However some of those are already in qualifications. Might be okay to combine. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Pay (salary range) and Benefits (benefits package) and Schedule (Work Days/Hours).

    About the role

Our mission to “let knowledge serve the city” reflects our dedication to turning ideas into action — in Portland and around the world. The city is our campus, giving students unmatched access to career connections, a vibrant cultural scene and hands-on learning experiences with hundreds of community partners. More than 20,000 students from all backgrounds bring diverse perspectives to our classrooms and campus life, from the tree-lined Park Blocks to the bustling Urban Plaza and state-of-the-art science labs. We are proud of our world-class faculty, groundbreaking research and international reputation for excellence in sustainability, community engagement and innovation.

    The Program Administrator is the lead administrator position for the Institute on Aging, which also includes the Senior Adult Learning Center (SALC), the Oregon Center for Excellence in Behavioral Health and Aging (OCEBHA) and the Better with Age Initiative. This position is responsible for assisting the IOA Director, faculty, and staff with coordinating a program of research, including research development and evaluation; establishing and defining operational programs and program guidelines needed for a research center; managing fiscal resources for research programs and projects; leading the support needed for recruitment, retention, communication, and faculty research initiatives; collaborating with IOA staff, PSU students and decision-makers; developing relationships with external groups and agencies; and supporting the SALC coordinator and SALC Advisory Council. This is a variable FTE position, between .50 to 1.0 FTE, starting at .50 FTE, reporting directly to the IOA director.

    That's about role. Now Responsibilities: we could list the duties as bullet list. But we already included many duties in the About role paragraph. To avoid duplication, maybe we separate: About role includes general description; Responsibilities list specific duties. Let's extract duties list: - Assisting the IOA Director, faculty, and staff with coordinating a program of research, including research development and evaluation - Establishing and defining operational programs and program guidelines needed for a research center - Managing fiscal resources for research programs and projects - Leading the support needed for recruitment, retention, communication, and faculty research initiatives - Collaborating with IOA staff, PSU students and decision-makers - Developing relationships with external groups and agencies - Supporting the SALC coordinator and SALC Advisory Council Also variable FTE etc but that's more about role. We'll put those in
    • . Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): - BA/BS with 3+ years of related experience - Knowledge of PSU program practices and operations - Experience working with Banner, DataMaster/Cognos or similar enterprise systems Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) - many items. We'll list as bullet list. - General understanding of IOA research activities to track and report new grant, contract, philanthropic, or fee-for-service opportunities; maintain web presence and social media; submit updates and achievements to PSU Currently and for IOA-related newsletters - Understand the basic function and policies associated with different funding sources, including E&G, PSU Foundation, and state- and federal awards and contracts - Ability to assist with proposal development such as organizing documentation, managing timelines, and facilitating information gathering for budget development - Training in gerontology or similar field - Intermediate level (or higher) expertise with Excel - Bachelor’s degree in business related field, such as finance, accounting, or HR - Ability to direct current and prospective undergraduate and graduate students to program resources and appropriate contacts - Proven ability to support department leadership, work groups, staff and student workers in an academic environment - Experience creating planning committees and organizing staff and team meetings to address department goals and funder deadlines - Ability to monitor and communicate the status of multiple projects, and keep projects on track - Capacity to work with minimal or no supervision Now Skills: maybe we can list specific technical skills: Excel (intermediate), Banner, DataMaster/Cognos, etc. But those are already in qualifications. Could still have a Skills section but might be redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Qualifications or Requirements. But we need to follow the instruction: Use headings for sections only when posting has real specific content. It does have specific skills content, but we could incorporate them into Qualifications. However the instruction list includes Skills as a possible heading. We could decide to not include Skills if we think it's thin. But we have explicit skill items: Excel, Banner, DataMaster/Cognos. Might be enough for a Skills section. But we already have Requirements (minimum) includes experience with Banner, DataMaster/Cognos. Qualifications includes Excel. So we could have Skills section listing: Intermediate-level Excel; Banner; DataMaster/Cognos; etc. However that duplicates. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both minimum and preferred. But the headings list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We could still include both if they have substantive content. They do. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Cultural Competencies and Environmental Stewardship could be part of Requirements or Qualifications, but they are specific content. Could be separate sections but might be thin. However they are substantive. Could include them under Requirements or Qualifications as bullet items. I'd incorporate them into Qualifications (since they are competencies
