Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations

Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations

LEARN Director
(Labor Education Action Research Network)

Based in New Brunswick, NJ

The faculty of the Department of Labor Studies and Employment Relations (LSER) at Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations seeks a non-tenure track faculty member at any rank as our new LEARN Director. The Labor Education Action Research Network is the continuing education unit of LSER. The State of New Jersey established the Rutgers Institute for Management and Labor Relations in 1947 in order to provide extension services that would both help to foster labor-management cooperation in New Jersey workplaces and educate labor-management representatives and the general public about the advantages of such cooperation as well as the means to achieve it. As SMLR has grown and expanded its mission, adding degree programs, research centers, and special programs, LEARN remains a central component of our mission. LEARN works with the Center for Innovation in Worker Organization (CIWO) to fulfill this mission and improve the lives of working people in New Jersey and beyond.

This position is in charge of coordinating and expanding our labor education programs. LEARN sponsors public programs and activities that strengthen the community at work; facilitate workplace democracy; and, address inequalities of power and wealth in the wider society. The successful candidate will have a commitment to improving the lives of working people in New Jersey and building a robust network to fulfill the missions of SMLR, LSER, and LEARN. Candidates should also have experience designing, developing, and recruiting for labor education programs, especially programs targeted at a leadership level. We are interested in someone who can work with faculty and labor leaders to develop a mix of leadership programs and who can reshape and recruit for our Union Leadership Academy, certificate programs, and other New Jersey-based offerings.

Candidates must have experience in the labor or social and economic justice movements and in worker/labor education and should possess at least some college along with equivalent experience equal to a master’s degree in a related field, although a terminal degree is preferred.
