    Position description

    The UCSB Central Coast Community Labor Project invites applications for the position of Executive Director. The project is administratively housed in the UCSB Blum Center on Poverty, Inequality, and Democracy, which aims to foster interdisciplinary, socially engaged research and learning about poverty and inequality, and to contribute to collective action that advances intersectional economic and environmental justice regionally, in the United States, and abroad.

    The UCSB Central Coast Community Labor Project is dedicated to the study of working people, the labor movement, and the challenges of the rapidly changing economy as it impacts the communities of California and beyond. Our goals are to connect students, faculty, policymakers, and labor and community stakeholders, and to collaboratively pursue research, policy analysis, and educational and public programs that support workers and their families, particularly those in low-income communities, immigrant communities, and communities of color on the Central Coast (Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties).

    With new funding through the University of California Worker Rights Policy Initiative (WRPI), the project seeks, in the next three years, to expand our capacity for research, policy analysis and public-facing programming, particularly in collaboration with community and labor organizations; support unions and community organizations to conduct their work more strategically by developing curricula, training staff and rank-and-file members, and providing technical assistance; and develop the next generation of labor and community organizers, researchers, and leaders among undergraduate and graduate students by connecting them with community and labor organizations, and training and involving them in community-engaged action research.

    The UCSB Central Coast Community Labor Project works closely with 70 labor unions and organizations that are members of the Central Coast Labor Council, as well as community organizations working for economic and social justice, such as the Central Coast Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) and the Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP). In Summer 2023, the project launched its inaugural Labor Summer Program https://www.blumcenter.ucsb.edu/labor-summer, to train and place UCSB undergraduate students in paid summer internships with Central Coast labor unions.

    We expect the project to continue to grow in size, scope, and reach in the coming years and eventually to be established as an independent Center on the UCSB campus. We are hiring a executive director to help establish and lead overall project operations, building the administrative and programmatic infrastructure for ongoing research, policy analysis, community and labor collaborations, curriculum development, and trainings (both on and off campus).

    • Work with diverse interdisciplinary collaborations of faculty and public sector funding agencies to develop potential research projects and collaborations, exploring potential funding opportunities.
    • Represent the project's mission and research accomplishments to external stakeholders, including potential major donors, and leveraging external relationships to create new opportunities.
