Below you will find current openings in this specialty at American universities, colleges and research institutes.
🧭 Core Responsibilities
- Interpreting American anti-discrimination, equal opportunity, accessibility and workplace safety legislation and turning it into university policy.
- Receiving and managing complaints of discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct, including referral to investigation.
- Running equity action plans and accreditation programs such as Athena Swan or similar gender equity charters.
- Designing and analysing staff and student campus climate surveys and reporting results to leadership.
- Delivering mandatory training on respectful behaviour, bias in recruitment and reasonable adjustments.

Who Gets Hired
Employers look for people who combine policy and legal knowledge with sensitivity in difficult conversations. Useful backgrounds include law, social policy, HR, student services and community advocacy. The issues these teams handle are often in the news, from Title IX compliance changes in the United States to research showing higher sexual harassment rates at elite UK universities. Strong candidates can show:
- Experience handling confidential complaints with trauma-informed practice.
- Comfort with data, from workforce diversity reporting to survey analysis.
- A record of delivering programs that changed outcomes, not only policies.
