Facilities Manager

Stanford University

Job Number: 89054

School/Unit Description: The School of Humanities and Sciences (H&S) is the center of a world-class liberal arts education at Stanford University. H&S encompasses 23 departments—from Art and Art History, English, and History to Economics, Mathematics, and Biology—as well as 23 interdisciplinary programs. 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 Department of Theater and Performance Studies (TAPS), preeminent in its field, has 11 faculty, 15-20 lecturers, a graduate student population of 19, undergraduate majors and minors numbering approximately 30-40, and an administrative staff of 13. The integration of the practical knowledge of theater-making with the humanistic knowledge of the history and theory of performance is central to the department's vision. At TAPS, theory and practice are inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing. TAPS prepares 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 our 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.
