After seven years at CCSRE, Executive Director Daniel Murray will be stepping down from his post. He has recently relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to be closer to family. He will be continuing in the position short-term to aid in the transition and will continue to support specific projects.
CCSRE seeks a seasoned academic leader or nonprofit leader with experience in higher-education to join the Center's leadership team as Executive Director. The ED oversees the implementation of all aspects of the Center’s programs, working closely with the Faculty Director of CCSRE and supporting the Faculty Directors of the Center’s Research Institute and Academic Programs.
The ideal candidate will bring a deep knowledge of research and teaching on race/ethnicity and will be committed to developing and managing programs that expand the impact of race studies at Stanford and beyond. They will have demonstrated success in developing operational systems and managing diverse teams. They will bring initiative and a keen sense of strategy to identify opportunities to implement the vision of the Center Leadership. They will be adept at leading through periods of change and navigating complex institutional politics with nuance and care. This is a dynamic and multifaceted role that is well-suited to an energetic, empathetic, and service-oriented leader.
