New York University • New York, New York • 3h ago

The NYU School of Law's Center for Labor and Employment Law (the Labor Center) and Institute of Judicial Administration (IJA) are seeking a single Deputy Director.

About Our Centers . The Labor Center was created in 1996 as a nonpartisan forum for discussion of policy and legal issues involving the employment relationship. IJA, founded in 1952, is a leader in judicial education and offers a forum for nonpartisan thinking about the administration of justice. Samuel Estreicher, Dwight D. Opperman Professor of Law is the Faculty Director of both centers. Both centers have active advisory boards comprised of leading jurists, practitioners, and scholars. Both are highly-regarded organizations supporting research, liaising with courts, attorneys, and decision-makers, and fostering nonpartisan dialogue on issues of public policy.

This is an opportunity to work in the vibrant NYU Law School community. You would be part of a small and flexible team, working with the Faculty Director and Executive Director on all aspects of center operations, initiatives, and development. The Deputy Director will also oversee and receive help from undergraduate interns.

Branding and Publications: enhance the centers' visibility across platforms and oversee contributions to our Annual Conference on Labor and Employment Law publication.

Communications: cultivate relationships and proactively represent the Centers with stakeholders including board members, government officials, lawyers and judges.

Programs: substantive event planning, program logistics from preparation to post-event, processing Continuing Legal Education (CLE).

Finance & Development: solicit annual dues, process invoices and reimbursements.

Office/Administrative: perform a wide range of office functions including database maintenance, purchasing supplies, and intern onboarding.

New Initiatives- assist Faculty Director and Executive Director in development and management of current and new initiatives, including making substantive suggestions, identifying and marshalling financial support to secure further endowments and other funding.

Collaboration: Identify new tools and procedures for efficient operations, work with other NYU Law departments such as alumni relations and clerkships, so that our Centers further the strategic initiatives of the law school.

This position is full-time with expectation to be in the office up to four days a week. Additional work from home is at the discretion of the Executive Director and Faculty Director.

You will be an employee of New York University with a benefits package commensurate of a Professional Research Scholar.

Starts: Immediate opening. Mutually agreeable start date.
