Position Description:
Under the general direction of the Executive Director, the Communications and Development Coordinator will serve as an integral staff member to support the external engagement and marketing operations efforts of the Institute for Technology, Law & Policy.

The Coordinator will work to amplify and translate the intellectual work of ITLP with the objective of reaching new audiences via traditional and social media platforms.

This new team member will also aid in grant writing efforts to continue our cutting-edge work. This professional will support the program's projects and campaigns around emerging tech issues and elevate the impact and reach of ITLP events, including events such as Bi- Weekly Tech Talks, Careers in Tech Week, and the annual symposium.

The ideal candidate is creative, able to work quickly, independently, and works well with others. Although specific knowledge of the law and technology space would be an asset, it is not required so long as the candidate is interested in engaging and learning more about this space.

The UCLA Institute for Technology, Law and Policy is a collaboration between UCLA School of Law and the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. ITLP was established in 2020 to perform cross-disciplinary research on the ways that new and emerging technologies affect society, privacy, law, and public policy. Supported by a five-year, $10.25 million grant, the institute brings together faculty and students from the law and engineering schools to conduct research, convene events and engage the wider academic community and the public about the benefits, risks, and public policy implications of new technologies, which pose questions ranging from ethical and human rights inquiries to the applicability and utility of current laws and regulations to govern their use. The Institute's mission is to foster research and analysis to ensure that new technologies are developed, implemented and regulated in ways that are socially beneficial, equitable, and accountable.
