Director, Low-Wage Work Program (Specialist) UC Berkeley Labor Center Institute for Research on Labor and Employment
Director, Low-Wage Work Program (Full Specialist) - UC Berkeley Labor Center - Institute for Research on Labor and Employment
The UC Berkeley Labor Center, at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE), UC Berkeley, is searching for a Director of its Low-Wage Work Program. Founded in 1964, the UC Berkeley Labor Center works on the most pressing economic challenges affecting working families in California and across the country. The Labor Center provides timely, policy-relevant research on labor and employment issues for policymakers and stakeholders, and conducts training for a new and diverse generation of worker leaders and students.
The Center's Low-Wage Work Program focuses on documenting and understanding working conditions in low-wage industries, especially for women, immigrants, and workers of color. It also analyzes policies to raise labor standards at the local, state, and national levels. The Director will develop, oversee, and conduct research on low-wage work and a diverse set of policies that affect working families, as well as supervise research staff, fundraise, and contribute to organizational leadership. In addition, in the coming year the Program will focus on more deeply integrating a race and gender equity lens into its research and policy analysis, and the Director will play a central role in this process.
This position offers an exciting opportunity to play a central leadership role in a high-impact, high-visibility organization and to work with a nationally-recognized team of researchers, policy analysts, and academics.
Responsibilities include:
Basic Qualifications (must be met at the time of application)
Master's degree or equivalent international degree
