Amend at UCSF – Academic Administrator IV

Amend at UCSF has an Academic Administrator IV position available. Amend is part of the UCSF Division of Health Equity and Society (DHES) at San Francisco General Hospital, which is part of the UCSF Department of Medicine. Amend at UCSF was founded by Dr. Brie Williams, Professor of Medicine at UCSF, as a research and training program that designs and delivers training, education, and advocacy and conducts health services research to develop and advance a health-first vision of prison system transformation in the United States. Amend serves as a technical support provider and research consultant to criminal justice organizations – primarily U.S. jails and prisons – working to improve the quality, safety, and reach of health care services in their institutions. Through its growing roster of national and international partners, Amend is leading the way in defining alternative, health and human rights-focused harm reduction strategies inside US prisons that are better for both incarcerated people and prison staff.

The Division of Health Equity and Society carries out innovative research to prevent and treat chronic disease in populations for whom social conditions often conspire to both promote various chronic diseases and make their management more challenging.

The successful candidate will serve as an international senior adviser, supporting Amend’s training program development and implementation in prisons across the US. Activities will require deep knowledge of international best practices, with ability to independently adapt, design, roll out and assess the quality of international prison policies in the US including the Norwegian contact officer program and the Norwegian resource team approach. Additionally the Academic Administrator will offer organization of, and assessment of, Amend’s training efforts including: contributing international training techniques to our developing curricula; mentoring prison staff leaders in the US to mentor others in change management and public health-focused correctional practices; adapting and implementing gender-responsive approaches in women’s prisons; advising prisons to make visiting areas more family-friendly; optimizing contact officer training; leading leadership and change management training for prison leaders in the US. The Academic Administrator will participate in on-site training programs – and evaluating those training programs - in US prisons for approximately 10 days every 2 months and will be integrated into Amend’s training design and program implementation teams.
