The Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy is seeking a full-time Program Manager.  The Program Manager will report directly to and work closely with the Executive Director to help shape, manage, and oversee the Engelberg Center’s wide ranging programming, events, and initiatives.  The Program Manager will also help support the day-to-day operations of the Center. The Engelberg Center is the nexus for work related to innovation law and policy at NYU Law.  Home to leading experts in intellectual property, competition, privacy, and technology law, the Center provides a collaborative community to explore cutting edge issues.  The Center community includes full time faculty members, fellows, visitors, and students, as well as members of the technology industry and policy advocates. The Center hosts a wide range of programming, including large academic conferences, invitation-only working groups, presentations, informal community gatherings, and the occasional art installation or theatrical production.  It also coordinates regular meetings of fellows, students, and other community members.

How we do it.  We identify important questions and support experts and communities working to answer them.  We help bring those answers to the broader world so that they can help drive action and impact.
