University Program Specialist

The University of North Carolina, School of Law aspires to be a great public law school. Toward this end, it pursues a fourfold mission: to prepare outstanding lawyers and leaders for the bar, the bench, all public and private law settings, and public service; to make nationally and internationally significant legal and policy contributions through an ambitious agenda of research and scholarship; to instill lifelong ethical values, dedication to the cause of justice and a lasting commitment to pro bono and public service; and, to serve the legal profession, the people and institutions of North Carolina, the nation and the world.

This is a time-limited position that is guaranteed employment for a year,and after that is contingent on obtaining additional funding.

The Prosecutors and Politics Program is a research initiative at UNC Law School. The Project aims to increase our understanding of the relationship between prosecutors and politics through empirical study and careful analysis. Students work closely with faculty to collect data, collaborate with other organizations, and publicly share information that increases academic and public knowledge about elected prosecutors and broader criminal justice issues. The Project Manager will report directly to the Project's Faculty Director.
