Facilities Manager (Hybrid)

FACILITIES MANAGER (Hybrid)
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.
Department/Program Description: The integration of the practical knowledge of theater-making with the humanistic knowledge of the history and theory of performance is central to the vision of the Theater & Performance Studies Department (TAPS) at Stanford. At TAPS, theory and practice are inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing. We prepare our students to become scholar-artists fluent in both of these languages. If the idea of the scholar-artist is at the core of our department's vision, then teaching is at the center of our mission. We teach graduate and undergraduate students in academic classes and seminars, in acting and dance studios, and by mentoring them in their creative work and scholarly research. Creating the context for probing dialogues and participatory experiences in our classes is essential to guiding students into discoveries of how the performing arts can be utilized as a fresh platform for illuminating pressing social issues and paths of change.
Position Summary: The Department of Theater & Performance Studies is seeking a Facilities Manager to act as the building and Facilities Manager for multiple theater and performance studies locations. The Facilities Manager will work under general supervision of the Director of Finance & Operations.
