<p class="MsoNormal">About Berkeley</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the
world’s most iconic teaching and research institutions. Since 1868, Berkeley
has fueled a perpetual renaissance, generating unparalleled intellectual,
economic and social value in California, the United States and the world.
Berkeley’s culture of openness, freedom and acceptance—academic and artistic,
political and cultural—make it a very special place for students, faculty and
staff.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Berkeley is committed to hiring and developing staff who
want to work in a high performing culture that supports the outstanding work of
our faculty and students. In deciding whether to apply for a staff position at
Berkeley, candidates are strongly encouraged to consider the alignment of the
Berkeley Workplace Culture with their potential for success at

<p class="MsoNormal">Departmental Overview</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Social Sciences Data Laboratory (D-Lab) is a dynamic new
organization which helps Berkeley faculty, staff, and graduate students move
forward with world-class research in data intensive social science. D-Lab
provides cross-disciplinary resources for in-depth consulting and advising, instruction
in tools, data and methods, access to staff support, and training and
provisioning for software and other infrastructure needs. Current operating
budget is $1.2M annually, with expectations of growing with corporate and donor
contributions. D-Lab has been funded jointly by the Dean for Letters and
Sciences and a coalition of approximately 10 deans of schools and colleges. D-Lab’s governing board consists of the Vice
Chancellor for Research, the campus CIO, the Dean of Social Sciences, and two
additional deans.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">D-Lab’s user base is strongly interdisciplinary and
campus-wide, including the professional schools as well as disciplinary
departments. It serves more than 1000 researchers each semester with public and
private workshops, events, working groups, dataset services, and other
programs. Staffing headcount (professional and student staff) is currently
approximately 20. D-Lab has a strong culture of responsiveness to users and
internal empowerment of professional and graduate staff. It is an internally
differentiated organization with several teams while maintaining a relatively
flat organizational structure</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
