Postdoctoral Scholar, Data Privacy Lab

Description

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA), headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley, seeks an outstanding Postdoctoral Scholar to bring qualitative and/or design research expertise to the Data Privacy Lab’s latest initiative. Through a series of real-world collaborations with partner organizations, CEGA will develop and deploy privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings, using these experiences to create a privacy playbook that supports future organizations in navigating the complexities of applying PETs in practice.

Key Responsibilities

The postdoctoral scholar will report to CEGA Data Privacy Lab’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Nitin Kohli, work with CEGA Faculty Co-Director Professor Joshua Blumenstock, and collaborate closely with study partners and technical staff to develop the privacy playbook. Our goal is to inductively learn from a series of real-world implementations with study partners to surface lessons learned, as well as pain points encountered and circumvented, when developing, deploying, and using PETs in LMIC settings. The postdoctoral scholar will play a crucial role in development of the playbook, and will interface with study partners and collaborate with technical staff to ensure that the PETs designed meet partners’ operational needs. The postdoc will employ a diverse set of qualitative and/or design research methods, such as semi-structured interviews, focus groups, participant observation, co-design, and participatory design (and/or develop new methodological approaches to enable meaningful stakeholder and/or public participation and translate research into practical guidance), to responsibly integrate PETs in practice, considering technical, social, legal, and organizational approaches. The postdoc will be encouraged to spend 33%-50% of their time on individual (related) research pursuits.

Required qualification:

A PhD with interdisciplinary research experience in privacy and qualitative and/or design research methods at the time of starting the position.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Existing research agenda, with record of academic publications, related to at least one of the following areas: privacy, security, fairness, transparency, human computer interaction, design (e.g., privacy by design, user centered design, human centered design, value sensitive design, values in design).
  • 1-3 years experience conducting qualitative and design research on privacy topics, with an in-depth understanding of privacy-enhancing technologies and the tradeoffs they often induce in practice;
  • 1-3 years experience translating complex material/research to broad, non-technical audiences;
  • 1-3 years working with and/or experience managing large research teams;
  • Ability to independently investigate solutions to sociotechnical problems;
  • Outstanding written and oral communication skills, with the ability to translate complex scientific findings into accessible, non-technical language (via publications or professional presentations);
  • Ability to work well with teams, and communicate effectively with colleagues and faculty;
  • Ability to interact with individuals at all levels in a fast-paced environment, sometimes under pressure, while remaining flexible, proactive, tactful, resourceful, and efficient, and with a high level of professionalism and confidentiality.

Application Requirements

This is a two-year full-time position with possibility for extension pending funding. Starting annual salary for this position is set per the rates below and standard UC Berkeley postdoc benefits will be provided.

Postdoc Step 0 | Level 0 (0 – 11 months)| $88,073

About CeaseFirePA Education Fund
CeaseFirePA is dedicated to ending the epidemic of gun violence in Pennsylvania. Our goal is simple: everyone in the Commonwealth should live in safe communities. Gun violence, in any form, makes that an impossible reality.

Description
Position Overview

Gun Violence shatters lives across Pennsylvania every day – from firearm suicides in rural communities to unintentional shootings and street violence in our cities. Behind each tragedy is a story, and too often, a policy failure that allowed it to happen. CeaseFirePA is leading a statewide movement to end this epidemic. We’re hiring a Director of Development to help fuel our bold  plan to make Pennsylvania one of the 10 safest states in the nation.

Working closely with our Executive Director, you will further develop the vision and plans for our annual fundraising with a focus on building our individual giving programs. You will lead our work to  expand our major donor pipeline, building a scalable small-donor program, ensuring our campaigns have the resources they need to thrive. You will also be a member of our leadership team, contributing to the overall direction of CeaseFirePA’s life-saving work.

We’re looking for a mission-driven, creative leader who sees fundraising as movement-building. You know how to turn impact into investment, build lasting relationships, and invite donors into a shared story of change.  You’ll work across the team to elevate our visibility, deepen engagement, and model our values in every interaction, serving as a culture ambassador across communities.

You’ll lead this work by:

  • Crafting persuasive cases for giving that leverages CeaseFirePA’s brand as the state’s only gun violence prevention organization, aligning with its strategic priorities and campaign goals.
  • Enhancing our major donor pipeline by recruiting, cultivating, stewarding and soliciting donors in the $1,000-$20,000 range.
  • Expanding a small-donor program that delivers a return on investment, ultimately leading to a six-figure effort to expand our donor base to more than 5,000 givers across the Commonwealth.
  • Collaborating with a team of organizers and advocates to amplify the story of their work to our financial backers, create a culture of fundraising within the organization, and convert activists into givers.
  • Adapting quickly by managing multiple projects, rapidly synthesizing information to raise funds to support organizational needs.
  • Designing effective fundraising systems and tools to track results, evaluate strategies, and identify potential opportunities for improvement.
  • Assisting with foundation grants, as needed, by identifying potential opportunities, assisting with draft of proposals and meeting with potential funders.
  • Partnering with the Gun Violence Prevention Cooperative, a shared service hub we helped found to support fundraising efforts across multiple states.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 8+ years of experience in development, including mid level and/or major donor solicitation and crafting small dollar campaigns. Experience fundraising for advocacy and political campaigns is a plus.
  • Proven success in developing and implementing donor appeals across channels (direct mail, digital programs, outreach).
  • Self-starter who is able to work independently and enjoys creating and implementing new initiatives.
  • Exceptional written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills;
    Fluent in using data and CRM tools (e.g., Salsa or similar) to evaluate fundraising performance and drive donor engagement and retention.
  • Experience managing staff, consultants, or board members on fundraising projects, and working cross-team to create a culture of fundraising
  • Thrives on managing several projects at the same time

LOCATION: Philadelphia, PA

TRAVEL: Regular regional travel for meetings and occasional statewide travel required; access to a car strongly preferred.
