Job Requirements:

• BA/BS required/M.A./M.S. in a related discipline preferred. Work Experience: 3-5 years
• Experience working with college students in a diverse and complex university setting is an important criterion for this position.
• The successful candidate must possess specific knowledge of race, culture, nationality, language, immigration status, and issues of concern related to underserved people and communities in higher education. A demonstrated commitment to work in a multicultural, social justice oriented office with individuals and groups with a wide array of backgrounds and identities must be in evidence within past work experience.

• Disposition: A non-negotiable and essential element of this role is a demonstrated disposition toward supporting underserved people (e.g., BIPOC, undocumented, international, and those for whom English is not a first language) in their struggle for full and equitable access in society. A disposition that uncritically encourages assimilation or sublimation of these identities, even if under the guise of “benevolent” opinion, preference or religious belief, is inappropriate in this role and counter to the foundational mission of the Intercultural Center at Brandeis.
• Strong verbal and written skills.
• Must possess a positive can-do attitude.
