Education / Pedagogy / Birth Certificate
French term or phrase: secrétaire d'intendance universitaire
I have classified this question under education/pedagogy, because even though it appears on a birth certificate this Profession is Education-related (it is the profession of the mother of the person concerned by the birth certificate).

Here is the sentence: X est né de Mr X, Professeur de science et de Mme X, son épouse, secrétaire d'intendance universitaire


I cannot find a suitable translation in any of the online dictionaries.

Can someone help?
