The Center for Reproductive Health, Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law seeks a Clinical Instructor and Deputy Director (Deputy Director) with sustained experience in the practice of reproductive rights law and policy to join the Center's senior management team. The Center will generate innovative ideas at the intersection of reproductive health and rights scholarship and practice; serve as a hub for transforming those ideas into meaningful changes in policy at the local, state, and national levels; and empower students with unique opportunities for experiential learning through work with academics, practitioners, policymakers, and activists.

The Deputy Director will be responsible for a broad range of academic and administrative functions in the Center, with a primary focus on teaching experiential courses affiliated with the Center, creating other non-curricular opportunities for UCLA students and alumni, participating in research and advocacy on reproductive health law and policy issues, designing and executing Center conferences and convenings, and an array of other programmatic, administrative, and teaching engagements. The Deputy Director will also support the Executive Director more generally, including in marketing, fundraising and grant activities.

In collaboration with and at the direction of the Center's Executive Director and the School of Law's Assistant Dean of Experiential Learning, the Deputy Director will serve as the primary clinical instructor for the Reproductive Health, Law and Policy Clinic; mentor and supervise the Center's law teaching fellow(s); offer effective clinical teaching and supervision in class and in the field, including through command of the subject matter, ability to organize and present material and ability to awaken students' interest, curiosity, creativity and achievement; and provide effective and timely feedback on student work; foster relationships with organizations and communities working on reproductive health, law and policy - locally, regionally, and nationally; and serve as mentor to students interested in reproductive health law and policy, including providing support and guidance with respect to the student's role in the clinical or experiential course and in the profession.

The minimum requirements for this position include an excellent academic record; a J.D. or other terminal degree from a U.S. school; membership in the California Bar or a willingness to sit for the California bar examination; significant (approximately 7-12 years) experience practicing reproductive rights law and/or working on reproductive rights policy; experience closely supervising or teaching law students; and demonstrated management, administrative, and organizational skills.
