Departmental Overview Founded in 1969, the Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) embodies the intellectual rigor, entrepreneurial spirit, public mission, and social commitment characteristic of UC Berkeley. As a professional school of public policy grounded in scholarly practice, we mobilize the rich intellectual resources of the campus to provide a transformational academic and cultural experience that instills standards of excellence and a deep sense of pride in one's work, learning community, peers, and academic home. GSPP consistently ranks among the top policy schools in the country, currently #1 in policy analysis and #2 in social policy according to U.S. News and World Report. GSPP helped define the art and science of modern public policy and pioneered the data-driven, evidence-based approach that remains our hallmark. The school offers three graduate degree programs, a doctoral program, an undergraduate minor, and several concurrent degrees. Goldman School faculty represent the top researchers in their respective fields-including economics, political science, law, social psychology, and engineering-and their expertise ranges from education policy to racial profiling to clean energy. Fundamental to GSPP's success is our culture, shaped by individuals from across the globe whose diverse perspectives and life experiences enrich our community. GSPP students, faculty, and staff are characterized by high quality work, exceptional talent and creativity, broad experience, and a shared commitment to our public mission, which is always at the forefront. Position Summary In March 2024, GSPP launched a new Democracy Policy Initiative (DPI) to help promote an inclusive, representative, and multiracial democracy for California and the nation. The initiative will serve as a hub for new interdisciplinary research, cross-sectoral collaborations, policy innovation, and inspirational leadership. It will be led by Angela Glover Blackwell, founder-in-residence at PolicyLink, who will serve as Chief Vision Officer, working in concert with other faculty at the Goldman School and across the UC Berkeley campus. The Deputy Director position plays a key role in coordinating and overseeing different streams of work, leading on programmatic activities, and managing day-to-day operations to ensure the success and strategic impact of the Democracy Policy Initiative.
