    BCLT is the focal point at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law for curriculum development, research, conferences and workshops, and student activities on issues at the intersection of law and technology. For the past fifteen years, Berkeley has been rated by US News & World Report as having the top intellectual property law program in the country, based on its extensive curriculum and the high quality, high impact research of its faculty. BCLT's scope encompasses not only intellectual property, but also privacy, computer crime, cybersecurity, biotech, sports and entertainment law, and telecommunications regulation. The Executive Director is responsible for the development, direction and operation of BCLT, working independently but pursuant to guidance from BCLT's seventeen faculty directors, who function as the Center's "board of directors."

Based on the needs of the School of Law, and at the sole discretion of the Dean or his/her designate, the Executive Director may teach or co-teach a course in the law & technology field and may supervise student research and writing projects. On such occasions, the incumbent will be provided a concurrent academic appointment in an appropriate teaching title. Basic Qualifications (required at the time of application):
