Position description

Berkeley Law is pleased to announce a search for applicants for the position of Executive Director for the Center on Reproductive Rights and Justice (CRRJ), a multidisciplinary research center dedicated to issues of reproduction and designed to support law and policy solutions by bridging the academic-advocate divide.

CRRJ advances a joint mission of reproductive rights and reproductive justice. Reproductive rights means securing access to abortion, which is now starkly embattled in the post-Dobbs period. But reproductive rights are only one part of the pressing agenda of reproductive justice, which aims to enable all persons to achieve reproductive and sexual health and autonomy; to determine whether, when, and through what means they will create families; and to parent any children they choose to have with dignity and material sufficiency.

CRRJ seeks to implement these goals by connecting people and ideas across different institutions, communities, and disciplines. We aim to influence legal, political, and social science discourse by furthering new paradigms in research and scholarship, so as to bolster legal, policy advocacy, and organizing efforts.

Reporting to the faculty director, the Executive Director will administer and manage the center, including generating external support to build and sustain the center's budget, staffing, and programming. In conjunction with the faculty director, the Executive Director will hire and oversee a small staff and associated graduate student researchers, student assistants, and visiting scholars.

In addition to supporting staff, the Executive Director will work closely with members of the law school faculty, law school clinics and centers, UC Berkeley departments, and other academic institutions and criminal legal system stakeholders in the community and public and private spheres. The Executive Director will also oversee the center's communications and public events, including report writing and editing, program development for convenings, and publications or other deliverables.
