Job Posting: Emory University
The private research university in Atlanta is hiring its next University Ombudsperson. The posting states that the position reports to the University Ombudsperson and Senior Advisor to the President, a position held by Lynell Cadray since October 2019. Brian Green is the Associate Ombuds. The Emory Ombuds Office serves faculty, staff, and students, and practices to IOA standards.
Applicants must have a JD, PhD, or other advanced degree (or equivalent experience) and six years of relevant professional experience, preferably including legal or policy analysis. CO-OP certification is preferred. No salary or application deadline indicated. (Emory Posting.)
This job posting is confusing. It makes it seem like this is the top job, but then it says it reports to the university Ombuds. Which is it? I wish they would update this and be more clear. It makes a difference whether this is the Ombuds job or an associate Ombuds position.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the same thought. I reread it several times and couldn't tell either. That's why my post is a bit ambiguous.
DeleteIt reads that it reports to the Univ Ombuds/(Senior counselor, or some such thing to the President/Chancellor). One might assume that is the senior ombud.
DeleteBrian Green just announced that they are leaving the ombuds office to take another role at the University. It appears that Emory is hiring another University Ombuds to serve alongside Lynell. Multiple ombuds offices (Harvard, Colorado State University, University of Utah) have two or more ombuds who share the title of “University Ombuds” or just “Ombuds”. Personally, I really like this model!
