*Join the Faculty of a Dynamic Labor Center *



The University of Oregon’s Labor Education and Research Center (LERC) is
looking for someone to join our faculty to do labor policy and
organizing-related research.  This is a permanent, non-tenure track faculty
position, with salary of $80,000-$90,000.  The position is covered by our
faculty union contract with job security protections, strong benefits, and
sabbatical.



Oregon is a progressive state that in recent years has adopted one of the
nation’s highest minimum wages, a universal right to paid sick leave,
protections against unpredictable scheduling, and a requirement for
employer neutrality in public sector union elections.  Last year, Multnomah
County (Portland) adopted a first-in-the-nation program for universal
pre-K.  We are looking for a labor policy researcher whose work can help
Oregon lawmakers in raising standards and improving the conditions of
working people across the state.



LERC is both an academic and an extension labor program. Our faculty teach
non-credit classes for workers across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, and
we provide education, research, consulting and strategic planning services
for labor unions and other workers’ organizations.  We are a small but
experienced faculty – including economist and longtime Labor Notes director
Mark Brenner; veteran healthcare workers organizing director and educator
Rebekah Whittaker; and strategic campaigner and former Congressional
advisor Gordon Lafer.  We are looking for a fourth person to join our team,
based in either Eugene or Portland.



The position requires a Master’s or equivalent terminal degree, but in
exceptional cases, candidates with extensive experience may be considered
with only a Bachelor’s degree.  We will begin looking at applications on
February 15, 2023.



If you have questions about the position, please feel free to contact
Search Committee chair Gordon Lafer at glafer at uoregon.edu.



Women and candidates of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
