About Systemic Justice
Systemic Justice works to radically transform how the law works for communities fighting for racial, social, and economic justice. Centring affected communities in joint litigation, Systemic Justice works to broaden access to judicial remedies for those fighting for justice and equality. We are the first organisation in Europe that works with community partners on strategic litigation by taking a community-driven, intersectional approach; that is Black-led; and has a majority BPOC team. We approach our work through an intersectional lens, and across the digital and non-digital context.
We work across three key areas to build and maintain the systems change that we need: building the power of organisations and movements fighting for justice and equality; launching community-driven litigation; and scaling impact by promoting equitable working models with the broader field of litigators.
Systemic Justice takes seriously our commitment to imagine a more just future for those who are racially, socially, and economically marginalised, through the provision of robust, high-quality community-driven research and information that explores the experience and modality of systemic injustice across Europe. All Systemic Justice research activity and outputs are undertaken to drive forward the work of Systemic Justice to inform our strategic litigation projects and to provide knowledge and information for Organisations, Movements and Collectives (OMCs).
About the role
We are looking for an experienced Research Coordinator to support our growing research agenda, including our qualitative research projects; desk-based research mapping and analyses of OMCs across Europe involved in campaigns in the areas of access to justice, climate justice, policing, anti-racism, social protection and freedom of movement; responding to the research requirements of our legal teams; and gathering the testimonies and stories of racial, social, and economic injustice across the region.
