Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel
Denver, Colorado
The Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC) seeks two investigators, with varying experience levels, for OADC’s new Postconviction Unit (PCU). The PCU Investigators will be crucial members of our interdisciplinary team who gather and prepare evidence in support of clients’ postconviction claims. This is an exciting opportunity to help launch a new unit and advance excellent indigent holistic defense.
About Us:
The OADC is the state agency responsible for providing legal representation for indigent adults and youth charged with criminal or delinquent acts, where the Office of the State Public Defender (OSPD) has a conflict of interest. Traditionally, the OADC has accomplished this by contracting with over 400 private attorneys and another 500 legal service providers (forensic social workers/clinical advocates, paralegals, investigators, legal researchers, case assistants, etc.) to provide client services on an hourly basis. The PCU is a new in-house endeavor that will provide direct representation to OADC clients. Our fundamental belief is that good holistic legal defense teams produce good results for our clients.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the OADC, through the practice of holistic public defense, is to help adults and children whom the government has charged with criminal and delinquent offenses. The OADC’s holistic practice model fosters ethical, informed, and standard-driven best practices in public defense. The OADC allocates resources in a manner intentionally designed to rebalance the disparate power wielded by the government in the criminal legal system. The OADC advocates for every client’s inherent worth and dignity by centering the client’s lived experiences and voice to achieve the best legal outcome.
The OADC is dedicated to zealous, client-centered advocacy rooted in social justice, integrity, and humility. We recognize that we are working within a broken and racist criminal legal system. Public defense advocates play an essential role in challenging bias and disparity within the courtroom, within our offices, and within ourselves. Statistical data and experiences support that there is a disparate presence of violent policing, over-charging, and harsher sentencing outcomes for Colorado’s people of color and other vulnerable populations. The OADC is unwavering in its support of decarceration, the decriminalization of youth, and equity within the criminal legal system.
Our EDI Vision:
accelerate Equity, advance Diversity, amplify Inclusion – together
#SeeStriveTransformTogether
The OADC believes that transforming EDI work at this core level takes courage and intention. The work has progressed from the inside out - beginning first with building a team united in its understanding of and deep commitment to EDI and working to actualize this commitment through efforts to shape and refine our culture, spaces, and practices.
About the Job:
The PCU will provide direct representation to indigent clients pursuing claims under Crim. P. Rule 35(c) and 35(a), where the OSPD has declared a conflict of interest. The PCU will operate independently within our agency structure. Once it is fully staffed, the PCU will consist of the Director, the PCU Coordinator, four Staff Attorneys, one PCU Paralegal, two Investigators, and one Licensed Social Worker.
The PCU Investigators will work closely with team members to investigate, develop, and strengthen clients’ postconviction claims. Essential job functions will include:
Locating and interviewing individuals with relevant information concerning clients’ cases.
Reviewing and analyzing discovery materials, witness statements, and physical and/or digital evidence.
Collaborating and consulting with defense team members to develop the theory of the case and investigative strategies.
Generating detailed, accurate reports or memorandum summarizing witness interviews, evidentiary observations, and performed work.
Collecting, documenting, and preserving digital and physical evidence as appropriate.
Utilizing critical thinking and attention to detail to develop and pursue investigative leads and sources of information.
Identifying opportunities to enhance the client’s case through expert testimony.
Communicating and meeting with PCU Staff Attorneys and other team members regarding case status, court dates, witness information, and investigative progress.
Tracking time and maintaining clear, timely notes in case management system.
Seeking clarification on investigation requests to prioritize and complete assigned tasks within appropriate timelines.
Conducting fieldwork to collect client records, serve subpoenas, examine crime scenes, view physical evidence, etc.
Maintaining and using technology, tools, and equipment for conducting investigations including, but not limited to, audio recording devices, cameras, analytic software, office equipment, measurement tools, maps, and demonstrative media tools.
Providing hearing support, including but not limited to: testifying, assisting as an advisory witness, and coordinating exhibits or witnesses, as needed.
Traveling throughout Colorado and elsewhere to pursue leads, gather information, visit clients, and attend court.
About You:
Our ideal candidate will be self-motivated, team-oriented, and possess strong organizational and interpersonal skills. There is a preference for individuals who possess the following:
A demonstrated commitment to criminal defense, including one or more years of experience performing criminal defense investigations.
Ability to work independently and cooperatively as part of an interdisciplinary legal team.
Strong attention to detail and analytic skills.
Ability to identify legal issues and conduct comprehensive investigations using proper investigative channels and protocols.
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to testify in court and effectively interact with a wide range of diverse individuals.
Self-directed organization and time-management skills with the ability to meet short deadlines and complete assignments with frequent interruptions.
Culturally responsive practices while serving underserved, marginalized populations.
Empathy for the needs and histories of people with criminal records.
Ability to function under institutional pressure in jails, detention centers, prisons, and courtrooms.
Proficiency with technology including Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Acrobat, case management systems, social media platforms, and audio or video recording devices or software.
Familiarity with Colorado court rules and procedures, legal terminology, rules of professional conduct, and principles of attorney-client privilege.
A valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, and access to a working vehicle.
Certification with the ACFE, NALI, CDITC or other reputable investigative association.
A Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Criminology, Forensic Science, Investigations, or a related field.
The OADC will consider candidates who possess a combination of demonstrable skills, experience, and other qualifications in lieu of a bachelor's degree. Candidates who do not possess a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or related areas should be prepared to provide evidence of their relevant skills, experience, and other qualifications as part of the application process.
We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and encourage individuals of many identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply. OADC values lived experiences. A criminal history will not necessarily disqualify a candidate’s opportunity, but the OADC will run a background check on any finalist.

PNRI is recruiting a Staff Scientist to play a key leadership role in the Decoding Stress project based in the Stubbs Lab. This project, initiated as a collaboration that integrated novel computational methods developed by Dr. David Galas and basic science mechanistic studies in the Stubbs group, is focused on uncovering the genetic mechanisms of stress-related health disorders with particular focus on how brain stress responses may contribute to comorbid disorders of metabolic and mental health. The project aims to identify genetic alleles associated with disease susceptibility or resilience in clinical populations, including the search for genetic modifiers that can alter the effects of the primary alleles. Novel candidate genes and interactions will then be validated in mouse models, with mechanistic and functional insights developed at the genetic, genomic, cellular, and molecular levels. Ultimately, the project will identify novel loci and molecular pathways that can be used as translational targets for improving diagnostic applications or therapeutic outcomes in humans.
The ideal candidate will have a vision for helping build a new multidisciplinary program leveraging insights from basic science and computational biology for the development of real world clinical/translational impact. We seek a highly motivated, energetic individual who can bring additional expertise in human genetics/clinical genetics, stress biology, and translational research methods into the team. The Staff Scientist will use their knowledge of human genetics and stress biology to help guide the identification of genes and gene networks in collaboration with the other team members. The Staff Scientist will also lay the foundation for future clinical work by establishing external relationships with potential collaborators that have access to relevant clinical populations. As a member of the project team, the Staff Scientist will actively contribute to scientific publications and the pursuit of funding opportunities. For early career candidates, this is an opportunity for mentorship in scientific leadership and project management skills in a supportive, collaborative, and flexible professional environment.

Analyst Institute is looking to fill a Research Manager role on the Research Team. You'll be part of a close-knit, cutting edge team of experts with backgrounds in social, behavioral, and data science working together to both conduct research to support our partners in the progressive movement and translate that research into actionable insight to inform their work.
We’re looking to fill the Research Manager role as soon as possible. We will be accepting applications through October 23rd.
The Role
Research Managers (RMs) act as the principal investigators on our research projects, leading small project teams that are responsible for conducting our research. RMs are project managers who develop, design, and run field experiments, among other types of quantitative research, on a wide variety of subjects: get-out-the vote efforts, voter registration, persuasion, organizing and power-building, and more. RMs work directly with our partner organizations across the progressive movement to think creatively about developing research that can inform their work — which involves taking social science and “translating” it for folks working on the ground.
As an RM, you will get exposure to people and organizations across the progressive movement, develop, implement, and manage complex projects, and work with other talented practitioners across the space. You will be a prominent player in the progressive world, and we will invest in your skills and professional development. If you are a strong project manager with a deep understanding of research design and can communicate technical information to practitioners, this could be a great role for you.
As a Research Manager on the Research Team, you will:
Design research projects, including randomized controlled trials and other types of quantitative research, in partnership with progressive organizations to meet the partner’s research goals.
Communicate the potential benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of various research designs to non-technical partners in order to work together to identify the best research design for the partner’s research goals.
Connect with partner organizations to understand their perspectives and research objectives.
Manage simultaneous projects, often at varying stages of development, from design to implementation to analysis.
Communicate both internally and externally to ensure projects’ success.
Qualifications
The following encompasses many of the skills and experiences we consider for Research Managers, but we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.
You should be someone who has skills/experience in:
Research : Has relevant work or post-graduate education experience conducting all parts of the research process, including research question development, study design, data collection, analysis, and reporting, especially related to social science questions. Has an understanding of statistics and methods of social scientific measurement and causal inference.
Project Management : Able to lead and manage simultaneous, often fast-paced projects with multiple internal and external contributors and partners; highly organized and able to provide day-to-day oversight implementing multiple projects; and able to develop and manage project timelines, ensuring timely completion of project work (our partners often work on tight timelines).
Detail-orientation : Driven to complete high quality work with limited errors.
Communication : Has strong written and verbal communication skills and can communicate with varied audiences including data scientists and progressive practitioners.
Commitment to equity and inclusion : Values diversity, equity, and inclusion and recognizes the role race, gender, and other identities play in political behavior.
Relationship-building : Able to connect with a wide range of people in the progressive community. Collaborates creatively and respectfully with people across cultures and backgrounds.
Public speaking : Is comfortable with running meetings and delivering presentations, including one-on-one and small group settings.
Though not necessary, we are interested in people with the following experiences (please be sure to note these in your resume and/or cover letter):
Advanced knowledge of methods of social scientific measurement, including non-experimental research designs and methodologies.
Experience working with communities of color and other marginalized groups or experience studying racial and ethnic politics.
Experience working or volunteering with political campaigns, community based-organizations, or other progressive groups or similar organizations.
Knowledge about existing research and theory related to political power building, political behavior, or political psychology.
Logistics
Location : Our entire staff works remotely in various states across the U.S., and our internal culture fully supports and integrates remote staff. This position may be asked to travel periodically for in-person trainings, important convenings, and team-building. Willingness to travel is required for this role up to 5% of the time.
Start date : We are looking for this position to start in January 2024, but potentially earlier. This is a full-time, exempt position.
Compensation range : Salary commensurate with experience and skill set, from $70,000 to $90,000.
Benefits : These include 100% premium-covered health care and 99% covered dental and vision care, generous paid time off, 401(k) matching, disability and life insurance, twelve weeks paid parental leave (including for the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child), and professional development stipends for self-directed growth.
For more information : See some of the reasons you may want to work here and visit our website for more information about the work we do.
To apply to this position, fill out this application .
People of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, disabled people, and members of other commonly underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply, even if you don’t meet all of the criteria.

Office of The Alternate Defense Counsel
Denver, Colorado
Are you interested in living and working in a small town in Colorado? Are you interested in starting your own law firm to improve access to justice for people outside of the major metropolitan areas? Are you passionate about helping indigent people accused of criminal or delinquent acts? Do you believe that holistic, team-oriented representation is essential for all people accused of criminal or delinquent acts? If so, then the Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel is offering you a unique opportunity to develop a private practice in an underserved or rural area of Colorado through the Greater Colorado Fellowship Program.
About OADC:
The Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC) is the state agency responsible for providing client services and legal representation for indigent individuals (adults and youth) when the state has charged them with a criminal or delinquent act and the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender has a conflict of interest. The OADC accomplishes this by contracting with over 400 private attorneys and another 500 legal service providers (forensic social workers/clinical advocates, paralegals, investigators, legal researchers, etc.) to provide client services on an hourly basis. Our fundamental belief is that interdisciplinary legal defense teams, practicing holistic defense, produce better results for our clients.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC), through the practice of holistic public defense, is to help adults and children who the government has charged with criminal and delinquent offenses. The OADC’s holistic practice model fosters ethical, informed, and standard-driven best practices in public defense. The OADC allocates resources in a manner intentionally designed to rebalance the disparate power wielded by the government in the criminal legal system. OADC advocates for every client’s inherent worth and dignity by centering the client’s lived experiences and voice to achieve the best legal outcome.
The OADC is dedicated to zealous, client-centered advocacy rooted in social justice, integrity, and humility. We recognize that we are working within a broken and racist criminal legal system. Public defense advocates play an essential role in challenging bias and disparity within the courtroom, within our offices, and within ourselves. Statistical data and experiences support that there is a disparate presence of violent policing, over-charging, and harsher sentencing outcomes for Colorado’s people of color and other vulnerable populations. The OADC is unwavering in its support of decarceration, the decriminalization of youth, and equity within the criminal legal system.
About the Greater Colorado Fellowship:
The rural attorney shortage is a nationwide problem. Despite about 14 percent of Americans living in rural communities, only about two percent of law firms are located in small towns or rural areas. Further, the number of attorneys in rural communities has only continued to decline as many existing rural lawyers are approaching retirement age, with too few law school graduates moving in to replace them. Colorado is not immune to this problem.
The OADC has struggled with a chronic shortage of qualified attorneys (and other legal service providers) in rural Colorado. We are attempting to fix this problem through the Greater Colorado Fellowship program. This Fellowship will provide a lawyer, recent or soon-to-be law school graduate, with an opportunity to develop a successful law office in an area that the OADC considers to be an underserved area of legal representation. We are focusing on the areas surrounding 6 areas – Grand Junction/Montrose, Durango/Cortez, Glenwood Springs/Eagle, Salida/Canon City, Fort Morgan/Sterling, and La Junta/Lamar – but are open to other possibilities if a candidate has ties to a different Greater Colorado community.
Starting a legal practice in a Greater Colorado location provides unique opportunities for professional growth and improved work/life balance. For example, underserved areas, by definition, have less competition and upward mobility is easier. And, substantially smaller legal communities provide opportunities for collaboration and innovation. For general examples of rural communities using their strengths for innovations, see the Rural Justice Collaborative’s Innovation Sites . Plus, these communities offer a lower cost of living, access to outdoor recreational activities, and prioritization of personal fulfillment.
This Fellowship Program is the ultimate public-private partnership as it provides a full-time state employee position (FTE) with salary and benefits while the fellow develops their emerging business in a rural community.
This employee position can begin as early as December 1, 2023, or as late as October 31, 2024. The duration of the Fellowship can be up to, but cannot exceed, two years. The exact start date and duration of the Fellowship will be tailored to meet the needs of the fellow and their surrounding Colorado community. During that time, the OADC will provide “wrap-around” mentorship to the fellow as a Full-Time Employee, from experienced criminal defense practitioners to assist with developing appropriate legal, case management, and professional skills. In addition, the OADC has a robust training program to further aid in professional development.
Although the Fellowship is geared toward developing an attorney who is proficient in criminal defense, we understand that the fellow will need to develop a “small-town” practice representing people in more than just criminal matters. It is anticipated that the fellow will build relationships, and develop skills allowing them to produce income through private representation, court-appointed work in dependency and neglect cases through other state agencies (e.g., the Office of Respondent Parents’ Counsel or the Office of the Child’s Representative), and partnerships with civil litigation associations such as Legal Aid (Colorado Legal Services). As such, the OADC has partnered with other entities to provide further mentorship assistance in areas of law other than criminal defense to meet the needs of the individual fellow.
The OADC is a collaborative workspace designed for people who thrive in a team environment. This position reports to the Attorney Development Coordinator but will engage with all members of the OADC team and will be expected to fulfill other duties deemed necessary to help fulfill our Mission.
Candidates:
The ideal candidate is committed to criminal public defense, public service and dreams of starting a thriving private practice. The ideal candidate is also committed to living and serving in a rural community that the OADC recognizes as an underserved area in need of legal representation. Your role is to be an integral part of the community, not as a commuter, but as a community member who resides in this rural area, is dedicated to serving and building community, and provides excellent legal representation.
You are someone who passionately wants to create your own small business rather than be a government employee; you live for entrepreneurship and supporting a community that needs your vision and expertise.
You are passionate about team-oriented, holistic public defense and zealous in your commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and empathy.
You are a team member who is collaborative, possesses excellent verbal and written communication skills, and is innately creative and self-motivated.
If you are offered employment, the following are the Conditions of Employment:
Be a current resident of the state of Colorado or become a resident of the state of Colorado within 30 days of the hire date.
Be currently licensed to practice law in the State of Colorado or will be licensed to practice law in the State of Colorado within 90 days of the hire date. For graduating law students, this fellowship is contingent upon passing the Colorado Bar Exam.
Have a valid driver’s license and a vehicle to meet travel requirements.
Be willing to submit a routine background investigation, including a criminal history check.
If hired, the Immigration Reform and Control Act requires you to provide proof of your eligibility to work in the United States within three workdays.
You will be required to provide at least two references, complete a written application with additional questions and provide the following documents:
