Misanthrope Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Is this title basically the PC/technical term for a secretary? I feel slightly unsure about applying for this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misanthrope Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 My issue is: is this traditionally a woman's job? According to this advert, the duties involve taking calls from contacts for the prof, revising manuscripts/scientific papers, and helping out in the lab as well. Is this a chick's gig?

Cnussey Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 It is a lot of admin work--and yes, secretary's perform admin duties, and yes...most were typically female, but not anymore. You can find male assistant's everywhere (in fact, I prefer them...lol). Don't let your ego get in your way--this is a good student position.
