About The Position

This position is being filled as Limited Term. There is a possibility that it may become permanent, but that is not guaranteed. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) has one of the most important roles in state government – so important that the Michigan Civil Rights Commission (MCRC) is enshrined in the Michigan Constitution: to investigate allegations of unlawful discrimination and to secure the equal protection of civil rights. MDCR was created in 1965 to carry out the work of the Commission. MDCR is an administrative law enforcement agency with investigative and enforcement authority. The Enforcement Process includes all of the tasks performed when a customer interacts with MDCR about a civil rights-related need or concern, including investigation and resolution of complaints of discrimination, outreach and education, and community engagement. In this important role, an investigator is responsible for investigation and/or resolution of complaints of unlawful discrimination in employment, education, housing, public accommodation, public service, and other jurisdictional areas. Investigators are responsible for investigating complaint allegations and making a determination into each complaint by interviewing witnesses, analyzing information, investigative report writing, and recording data in a departmental data base.
