Through hands-on partnerships with government agencies, CPL performs rigorous research across issue silos and builds the data infrastructure necessary to improve programs and policies that millions of Californians rely on every day. We work on California's most urgent issues, including homelessness, poverty, criminal justice reform, and education inequality. At its Berkeley site, CPL resides as a center within the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE). CPL recognizes the value of having a diverse staff at all levels of the organization.

The Health & Safety Net Researcher conducts quantitative research, including conceptualizing research questions and design; requesting, receiving, and cleaning data files; creating and implementing an analysis plan; conducting quality assurance reviews; summarizing results in documents for both academic and policy audiences; and generating replicability documentation. The Health & Safety Net Researcher can implement multiple research designs and analysis techniques, including but not limited to randomized control trials, quasi-experimental designs using natural experiments or other such variation, and difference-in-difference and event study analyses. Further, a successful candidate can lead research projects under the oversight of CPL's Research Director with small teams, write proposals to support research projects, and ensure timely and high-quality completion of research tasks. The Health & Safety Net Researcher will mentor and supervise other research staff. The position will report to the Research Director and will work directly with leading social policy researchers at UC and other top universities, state and local government agency staff, and CPL's leadership team.

We believe that all people can become leaders and agents of change in the areas of racial justice, immigrant and refugee rights, affordable housing, and living wages. Unite Oregon is building a unified intercultural movement for justice in our state.
Currently, we are in a period of transition, recovering from financial challenges brought on by the pandemic, significant shifts in federal funding and policies, changes in board leadership and composition, and restructuring within the senior leadership team. These shifts have contributed to staff uncertainty, requiring strong, strategic leadership to guide the organization forward.
We are seeking an experienced professional to develop and implement a new strategic plan, strengthen board and senior leadership capacity, and unite staff and board members in advancing the organization’s mission in an efficient, effective, and impactful way.
The incoming Executive Director will also navigate fundraising challenges in light of federal funding changes, build relationships with state and local policymakers, and lead the organization toward long-term financial sustainability. Most importantly, they will play a key role in refocusing Unite Oregon on its core mission of grassroots organizing and community power-building. These efforts will be deeply rooted in our organizational values.
About You You are a bold and visionary leader with a deep commitment to social justice, equity, and substantial experience in grassroots organizing. Grounded in the lived experiences of the communities Unite Oregon serves, you bring a strong track record of movement-building, policy advocacy, and nonprofit leadership.

Passionate about developing leaders and amplifying community voices, you believe in leading from within—working alongside staff, partners, and community members to create transformative change.
