The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an independent national nonprofit that uses science to protect our health, safety, and environment. We are scientists, engineers, economists, activists and everyday people who develop and advocate for innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.
The new Chief Justice and Equity Officer will become a focal point for knowledge-sharing and momentum, and will help coordinate, unify, and enhance UCS’s internal and external equity and justice commitments. The Chief Justice and Equity Officer, partnering with other staff throughout the organization, will help define and implement measurable indicators for the Chief Justice and Equity Officer/Environmental Justice (EJ) progress and embed these within organizational strategic plans, performance management and competency systems, and programming.
Responsibilities

The CJEO will report to the President and serve as a member of the Executive and Leadership teams, and as JEDI liaison to the Board. The CJEO will foster JEDI understanding, commitment, and transformation. The CJEO and JEDI office will help UCS adopt a new paradigm, in which science, advocacy, and anti-racism are integrated throughout UCS culture, campaigns, and partnerships.
The CJEO will establish the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) office as a valued center for learning and for evolving best practices and transformative change in systems, processes, and behaviors. The office will partner with the BIPOC, Black Caucus, White Ally & Accountability Groups, and other JEDI-engaged groups, leaders, staff, and Board members across the organization. The JEDI office will be a hub of expertise and knowledge exchange, coordination, and momentum. The office will model and impart clear expectations, accountability, and transparency.

The CJEO will guide refinement and finalization of the draft Racial Equity Plan, and will develop and implement UCS JEDI strategies and norms. The CJEO will help clarify shared aspirations and expectations, and will foster deeper JEDI understanding and commitment across the organization.
The CJEO will help UCS infuse strong JEDI practices into important systems and processes including, but not limited to, performance management, program milestones, monitoring, and evaluation. The CJEO will foster a culture of innovation and learning in which bold initiatives are piloted, rolled out, evaluated, and evolved to accomplish ongoing progress and transparency. The CJEO will help achieve JEDI results that are measurable, perceived, and experienced internally across the organization and externally, eventually across all UCS programmatic work.
The CJEO will be an authentic, trustworthy expert able to help UCS navigate conflict to achieve breakthroughs and meaningful transformation. The CJEO will engage, listen to, and elevate people and ideas across UCS. The CJEO will be a sought-after partner, mentor, and advisor, and an accessible, frontline source of ideas and information for staff, senior leaders, and the Board.
While the CJEO’s primary focus is internal transformation, as head of the JEDI office the CJEO will support the Director in advancing equity and EJ efforts in UCS’s external partnerships. The CJEO will help deepen UCS’s ability to bring an anti-racist lens to existing or proposed legislation, policies, communications, and relationships and partnerships with public and private entities, donors and funders, the Science Network, and other stakeholders.
The CJEO and JEDI office will help UCS develop an aspired future, in which JEDI principles are understood, centered, and authentically lived. The CJEO will help UCS become more inclusive across all differences, including race, ethnicity, abilities, generations, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic and regional backgrounds—a place where each individual feel “I belong here.”

The Position
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an independent national nonprofit that uses science to protect our health, safety, and environment. We are scientists, engineers, economists, activists, and everyday people who develop and advocate for innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.
UCS is accepting applications for a Senior Campaign Coordinator to join our Climate and Energy team. In this role, you will work with a team that focuses on modernizing the U.S. electric grid without leaving anyone behind and facilitating a transition to renewable energy, away from burning fossil fuels that disproportionately affect the health and well-being of low-income communities and communities of color. UCS is committed to enacting policies that create a just and equitable transition to a renewable energy future, and to broadening and diversifying the voices shaping energy decisions. As Senior Campaign Coordinator, you would help further these efforts.
The ideal candidate will have experience in advocacy and working in partnership with communities, and an interest in working on climate justice and energy issues. You will also help support locally-focused UCS work in Midwestern states.
Responsibilities
Working with Midwest and government affairs teams, develop and implement outreach and advocacy plans to advance equitable state and federal legislative and regulatory campaign initiatives, with particular focus on the Midwest
Assess and pursue opportunities to make progress on federal and state policies, helping to ensure alignment between the two
Meaningfully engage UCS supporters, experts, and decision-makers to advance campaign strategies and goals through online and offline advocacy, especially with diverse and historically underrepresented constituencies
Contribute to federal, regional, and state agency advocacy efforts, including assessing political and coalition partner dynamics
Create and coordinate comments, letters, and testimony for legislative and regulatory proceedings
Build relationships and coordinate campaign work with allies in key regions, including environmental justice and community organizations
Represent UCS positions in meetings with state and federal legislators and staff, agencies, and other stakeholders
Support organizational learning on issues of justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity
Stay informed about clean energy and grid modernization technology and policy, as well as effective outreach strategies for influencing campaign targets
Qualifications and Experience
Position requires five years of comparable and relevant experience, including at least 3 years of organizing and advocacy experience
Experience planning and implementing effective advocacy campaigns and strong project management experience
Ability to work with coalition partners, especially organizations representing working-class, Latinx/Hispanic, Black, Indigenous and immigrant communities
Ability to communicate effectively with professionals who may be expert and/or prominent in their fields
Capacity to work independently, balance multiple priorities and collaborate as a member of a multidisciplinary team
Prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion
Preferred:
Background in climate change and energy issues
Some knowledge of the landscape around these issues in the Midwest
Experience with or interest in regulatory processes
Experience with or interest in learning about the application of science to public policy, especially on energy issues
Little or no exertion is required. May spend extended periods at a computer. May require occasional travel, approximately once per quarter.
UCS is an equal opportunity employer actively seeking to diversify its staff. In particular, we’re dedicated to broadening opportunities for individuals from demographic groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences and in environmental advocacy. We’re also committed to building an inclusive workplace culture where talented people of widely diverse backgrounds can thrive. We believe the inclusion of culturally diverse perspectives will improve our work and produce better societal and environmental outcomes for all, including historically disenfranchised communities.
Details:
This is a position that can be done remotely, or with UCS Chicago or Washington, DC, offices as a home base (though as of this posting, all UCS staff work from home). Because there may be in-person work required for this position in Midwestern states eventually, applicants located outside the Midwest should have availability to travel. For those who meet all position requirements, the salary is around $60,000. UCS offers excellent benefits and a rewarding work environment.

Climate and Energy
Union of Concerned Scientists
Chicago, IL or Washington, DC, with remote work possible
The Position
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an independent national nonprofit that uses science to protect our health, safety, and environment. We are scientists, engineers, economists, activists, and everyday people who develop and advocate for innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.
UCS is accepting applications for a Senior Campaign Coordinator to join our Climate and Energy team. In this role, you will work with a team that focuses on modernizing the U.S. electric grid without leaving anyone behind and facilitating a transition to renewable energy, away from burning fossil fuels that disproportionately affect the health and well-being of low-income communities and communities of color. UCS is committed to enacting policies that create a just and equitable transition to a renewable energy future, and to broadening and diversifying the voices shaping energy decisions. As Senior Campaign Coordinator, you would help further these efforts.
The ideal candidate will have experience in advocacy and working in partnership with communities, and an interest in working on climate justice and energy issues. You will also help support locally-focused UCS work in Midwestern states.
Responsibilities
Working with Midwest and government affairs teams, develop and implement outreach and advocacy plans to advance equitable state and federal legislative and regulatory campaign initiatives, with particular focus on the Midwest
Assess and pursue opportunities to make progress on federal and state policies, helping to ensure alignment between the two
Meaningfully engage UCS supporters, experts, and decision-makers to advance campaign strategies and goals through online and offline advocacy, especially with diverse and historically underrepresented constituencies
Contribute to federal, regional, and state agency advocacy efforts, including assessing political and coalition partner dynamics
Create and coordinate comments, letters, and testimony for legislative and regulatory proceedings
Build relationships and coordinate campaign work with allies in key regions, including environmental justice and community organizations
Represent UCS positions in meetings with state and federal legislators and staff, agencies, and other stakeholders
Support organizational learning on issues of justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity
Stay informed about clean energy and grid modernization technology and policy, as well as effective outreach strategies for influencing campaign targets
Qualifications and Experience
Position requires five years of comparable and relevant experience, including at least 3 years of organizing and advocacy experience
Experience planning and implementing effective advocacy campaigns and strong project management experience
Ability to work with coalition partners, especially organizations representing working-class, Latinx/Hispanic, Black, Indigenous and immigrant communities
Ability to communicate effectively with professionals who may be expert and/or prominent in their fields
Capacity to work independently, balance multiple priorities and collaborate as a member of a multidisciplinary team
Prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion
Preferred:
Background in climate change and energy issues
Some knowledge of the landscape around these issues in the Midwest
Experience with or interest in regulatory processes
Experience with or interest in learning about the application of science to public policy, especially on energy issues
Little or no exertion is required. May spend extended periods at a computer. May require occasional travel, approximately once per quarter.
UCS is an equal opportunity employer actively seeking to diversify its staff. In particular, we’re dedicated to broadening opportunities for individuals from demographic groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences and in environmental advocacy. We’re also committed to building an inclusive workplace culture where talented people of widely diverse backgrounds can thrive. We believe the inclusion of culturally diverse perspectives will improve our work and produce better societal and environmental outcomes for all, including historically disenfranchised communities.
Details:
This is a position that can be done remotely, or with UCS Chicago or Washington, DC, offices as a home base (though as of this posting, all UCS staff work from home). Because there may be in-person work required for this position in Midwestern states eventually, applicants located outside the Midwest should have availability to travel. For those who meet all position requirements, the salary is around $60,000. UCS offers excellent benefits and a rewarding work environment. Information about the organization is available at http://www.ucsusa.org .
Comparable training and/or experience can be substituted for degrees when appropriate.
