Job Posting: University of Colorado Boulder

Colorado's flagship public university is seeking an Associate Ombuds to join its Ombuds Office. The search will fill the position held by Jason Q. Sinocruz for the past year. The office is led by Director Kirsi Aulin and includes Associate Ombuds Detric Robinson, and two Faculty Ombuds, Keith Maskus and JoAnn Silverstein. The full-time position is based in Boulder and offers a hybrid work arrangement. 

The qualifications have changed significantly from the university's 2025 search. The previous posting required five years of full-time Ombuds experience; the new posting requires three years of full-time Ombuds experience or demonstrably equivalent experience in areas including law, conflict management, negotiation and dispute resolution, mediation, or labor relations. The position continues to require a JD from an accredited law school. Applicants must also be willing to become an OCP (formerly CO-OP) as soon as eligible. Higher education experience and mediation or ADR training are preferred. The position pays $108,000 to $129,200, and applications are due October 19, 2026. (CU Boulder Posting.)
