WA Labor Education & Research Center seeks new Director
SEATTLE (Oct. 3, 2018) — The Washington State Labor Education and Research Center (WA LERC) at South Seattle College is seeking a new Director.
A recent expansion of the Labor Center’s budget makes this an exciting time for this small-but-mighty labor education and research center. WA LERC needs a leader with a vision for labor education and research in service to the robust Washington state and regional labor movements (unions and allied organizations). The ideal candidate will have experience with unions, other economic and social justice organizations, and higher education.
The salary range for this position is $82,461 – $90,000 per year with a good benefits package. This is a full-time, permanent, year-round managerial position. The Director is not represented by a union; the other Labor Center staff are union-represented.
The board will begin reviewing applications on Oct. 23, 2018 and hope to make a hire by mid-December 2018, with a start date in January or February 2019.
All applications must be submitted through the Seattle Colleges District on-line HR system. Go here for more information about the position and to submit an application. For more information about WA LERC, visit its website.
If, after reviewing these sites, you have more questions about the position or the organization, contact Interim Director Sarah Laslett at 206-934-6859 or sarah.laslett@seattlecolleges.edu.
The WA LERC is committed to hiring and advancing women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and others from traditionally underrepresented communities, and working with partner organizations that do the same.
