rebecca-
yes, the degree is absolutely necessary in an academic environment, and, even
though the position is assistant director, i'd put the minimum at a master's.
furthermore, i'd want to see 8-10 years experience in steadily more responsible
research admin positions, with supervisory experience as well as experience in
the specific areas for which this person will have responsibilties.
