At the University of California, Berkeley, we are committed to creating a community that fosters equity of experience and opportunity, and ensures that students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds feel safe, welcome and included. Our culture of openness, freedom and belonging make it a special place for students, faculty and staff.
The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's leading institutions of higher education, distinguished by its combination of internationally recognized academic and research excellence; the transformative opportunity it provides to a large and diverse student body; its public mission and commitment to equity and social justice; and its roots in the California experience, animated by such values as innovation, questioning the status quo, and respect for the environment and nature. Since its founding in 1868, Berkeley has fueled a perpetual renaissance, generating unparalleled intellectual, economic and social value in California, the United States and the world.
We are looking for equity-minded applicants who represent the full diversity of California and who demonstrate a sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ethnic backgrounds present in our community. When you join the team at Berkeley, you can expect to be part of an inclusive, innovative and equity-focused community that approaches higher education as a matter of social justice that requires broad collaboration among faculty, staff, students and community partners. In deciding whether to apply for a position at Berkeley, you are strongly encouraged to consider whether your values align with our Guiding Values and Principles, our Principles of Community, and our Strategic Plan.
At UC Berkeley, we believe that learning is a fundamental part of working, and our goal is for everyone on the Berkeley campus to feel supported and equipped to realize their full potential. We actively support this by providing all of our staff employees with at least 80 hours (10 days) of paid time per year to engage in professional development activities.

Departmental Overview
The Athletic Study Center (ASC) promotes transformative academic development and we see academic success as a developmental process. Our support is tailored and individualized to meet the hopes, needs and goals of each student equitably. Our primary support services include academic advising, academic support and academic discovery.
The ASC, a unit within the Division of Undergraduate Education, provides advising and academic support services to approximately 900 student athletes in 27 sports at the University of California at Berkeley. We employ 17 full time employees and 60-80 part time employees (primarily tutors).
Position Summary
The Learning Specialist position serves to support academic and personal development of student athletes. This position works closely with the Learning Specialist Coordinator, Academic Advisors, and other Learning Specialists to assess the academic and holistic needs of student athletes and to coordinate specialized programs and services that allow students to develop as independent, self-reliant learners. Other services may include developing individual study plans, recognizing and addressing academic and non-academic barriers to academic success, and counseling on other aspects that may affect student retention and academic success. These functions must be performed in a high-stress environment where consequences are both immediate and long-range and are highly visible both within and outside the institution. While the Learning Specialist does not report to Intercollegiate Athletics, they still work in close consultation and collaboration with coaches and other IA support staff, and require the incumbent to have the ability to adhere to and comply with NCAA, PAC-12, and University rules and regulations.
