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.

American Oversight is looking for a committed and motivated Legal Intern to join our team for Spring 2024 and help us shine a light on government misconduct and threats to democracy. We’re a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that advances truth, accountability, and democracy by enforcing the public’s right to government records.
American Oversight uses its extensive experience in open records law to act where abuse of authority and government power overlap. From the federal Freedom of Information Act to state transparency laws, we file carefully crafted records requests to extract information from the government. If officials fail to respond as required by law, our team has the expertise to take them to court and enforce the public’s right to hold our leaders accountable. American Oversight has obtained and published more than one million pages of emails, memos, calendars, text messages, and other records and used those documents to ensure accountability, expose misconduct, and drive significant corrective action at all levels of government.
Our attorneys creatively use the law to promote governmental accountability and to uncover unethical and abusive government conduct. We use all available legal tools to identify, investigate, and reveal ethical problems and malfeasance in the government. This requires initiative, skill, and creativity in identifying and crafting legal strategies. Our legal intern will be exposed to a wide range of legal activity within this active organization, including collaborating on draft open records requests, conducting legal research, drafting complaints and other litigation documents, assisting in developing litigation strategy, observing court hearings, and participating in brown bag luncheons covering relevant legal topics. Our interns also benefit from active mentoring by our team of attorneys.
Job Responsibilities
Specific tasks will shift day by day with our work, but in a typical week, you may:
Review and research current events to spot potential legal issues and to identify opportunities to uncover state and federal government malfeasance or unethical conduct.
Collaborate with our research team to craft, review, and revise draft FOIA and state open records act requests.
Draft FOIA and state open records act administrative appeals.
Draft court pleadings, including complaints, motions, and briefs or brief sections.
Conduct legal research to support our litigation strategy.
Observe litigation proceedings or meetings, such as court hearings, depositions, or conferences with opposing counsel.
Contribute to reports and other editorial content for our website based on the findings of our investigations.
Attend and participate in regular meetings with our Legal Team and broader staff.
Qualifications
This internship is open to law students who will have completed their first semester of law school before the internship commences. Legal interns should possess the following:
Commitment to public-interest advocacy and an interest in litigation.
Exceptional writing, research, and oral communications skills.
An interest in government ethics and accountability, legal investigations, and/or government oversight.

Sound judgment and ability to analyze situations and information.

We would encourage you to apply, even if you don’t believe you meet every one of our qualifications described.

About Resolution Project At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world. Especially while young, they have the energy, idealism, and ambition to address complex challenges—today. But they need a community that invests and believes in their leadership. Resolution provides this support to young innovators around the world so they can break barriers and ignite meaningful change. The Resolution Fellowship is the core of our work. To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow. The Guide program is our premiere volunteer opportunity. Guides, typically early to mid-level professionals, serve as a virtual mentor to one or more of our Fellow teams—acting as coaches, advisors and sounding boards during the launch and implementation of our Fellows’ social ventures. In addition to helping our Fellows navigate through the challenges of launching social ventures, Guides fully embody our mission by supporting the personal and professional development of our young leaders. Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries. Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 6 million people around the globe.

About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact.

To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow. Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries. Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 4.6 million people around the globe. Through Resolution Project, young leaders receive unmatched guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Major Gifts Organizer to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns . You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You’ll work with awesome people . Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go . You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression . We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability is at an exciting moment in our four-decade history: We’re running hard-hitting, world-changing campaigns that are advancing the human right to water, holding the Big Polluters driving the global climate crisis accountable, and stopping Big Tobacco and the fast food industry from devastating people’s health. We’re challenging the racist systems that fuel corporate power, and reclaiming democracy from their corruptive influences with our Black Collective, Movement Power and grantmaking programs. And we know that people taking action together is the way to stopping these abuses. Corporate Accountability’s success comes from the people who fuel our resources and make our campaign impact possible. That’s where you come in.
Our campaigns are driven by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Your job will be to organize the committed, inspiring members at the heart of Corporate Accountability to give more boldly and more deeply than they ever thought possible and bring new people in to join us as well. You will build relationships with the people who power our campaigns and help them understand and act on the impact they can have toward building a world rooted in justice. You will organize events throughout the year to engage our members and build relationships with those who haven’t given before. You’ll build an in-depth expertise on our issue areas and campaigns, and be ready to speak at the drop of a hat to the problems our world faces and the people powering the solutions.
You’ll do it all with the expertise of a decades-strong campaign organization known for its ability to build and maintain people power over the long haul. You’ll be trained, motivated, and inspired by a team of organizers that sees injustice in the world and knows the only way to solve it is to talk to one person at a time. And in doing so, you’ll bring hope to people around the country who believe a better world is possible and are just waiting for you to ask them to get involved.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have makes you mad as hell -- and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You passionately believe that relationship-based organizing is how we change the world—and you’ve got the relationship-building and interpersonal communication skills to prove it. Whether in person, on the phone, virtually, or through written communications, you make connections and build and maintain relationships for the long term. You are particularly skilled at building relationships across race, language, cultural, and gender differences. You’re a stellar active listener, adept at responding to nonverbal and verbal cues, and can quickly adjust your communication style to what works best for the context.
You have asked people for money to help achieve their vision of a more just world. And you’re excited to learn from Corporate Accountability’s decades of experience of a people-powered organizing and fundraising approach. You believe that asking for and giving money are both powerful acts of social change and are committed to resourcing long-term effective campaigning.
You can easily adapt and shift when conditions change or opportunities arise. You view unexpected situations as a chance to come up with creative solutions that might be even better than the original plan. And you’re ready to move forward with new pathways to challenges that come up when heading towards your goals.
You care about the details. You are ready to make connections between the threads you hear in a conversation in order to remember them for the next time you’re in touch. Whether it’s tracking folks' gift commitments to noticing a wrong address in our database, you’re organized and accurate in keeping records.
You know who you are and what you need to bring your best self forward and do your best work in an independent setting. You’re always learning, reflecting, and integrating what you learn to keep yourself motivated and on track towards your goals. You are comfortable getting feedback from others and applying it into how you approach and practice your work.
You are excited to travel to cities and metro-areas across the U.S. as a part of your role. You are ready to travel 5-8 times a year for house parties or fundraising events, in-person meetings with donors, and/or donor network gatherings. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we will continue to center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.
You have 1-3 years of experience in fundraising, organizing, campaigning or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Build relationships with current and prospective members and philanthropic partners to raise and bank gifts that will enable us to scale up our transformative campaigns. Maintain a portfolio of donors of around 75 donors, engaging them to take action that furthers our campaign areas and working alongside members to make an impact towards a more just world. You’ll be connecting with folks over the phone, via email, by video meetings, and sometimes in person.
Drive the effective cultivation and stewardship of our members: Through deep relationship-building, inspire them to get involved in ways ranging from increasing their giving to bringing in new people to taking high-level action to advance our campaigns. This might look like having deep one-on-one conversations with members to increase their engagement, selecting campaign updates to share based on your knowledge of their values and vision, or thanking a brand new donor for joining our work.
Help bring on new members, leading engagement with people who are interested in our mission at events or virtually. Maintain relationships with potential donors, engaging them in our campaigns. Work with the entire fundraising team to implement strategic tactics for meeting new people which could include hosting events in-person, webinars, etc.
Ensure solid record keeping on your conversations and key notes from your members to carry our relationships forward in our Salesforce donor database and systems with our financial team.
Collaborate within our team and with other units to help ensure we have what we need to fundraise. This could look like reaching out to the campaigns team for the latest updates, working with communications on materials, or giving input on systems that support our team to evolve them as we go.
Travel 5-8 times a year for membership cultivation, meeting with members in our membership base and donors in your portfolio.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
Salary and benefits:
Hours: Corporate Accountability’s full-time staff generally work 32 hours per week, with periods of more intensive work that correspond with the ebb and flow nature of campaigns or projects throughout the year.
Our core hours are 10:00 a.m. - 4: 00p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with flexibility to determine your remaining hours of the week in coordination with your supervisor and team.

We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability is at an exciting moment in our four-decade history: We’re running hard-hitting, world-changing campaigns that are advancing the human right to water, holding the Big Polluters driving the global climate crisis accountable, and stopping Big Tobacco and the fast food industry from devastating people’s health. We’re challenging the racist systems that fuel corporate power, and reclaiming democracy from their corruptive influences with our Black Collective, Movement Power and grantmaking programs. And we know that people taking action together is the way to stopping these abuses. Corporate Accountability’s success comes from the people who fuel our resources and make our campaign impact possible. That’s where you come in.
Our campaigns are driven by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Your job will be to organize the committed, inspiring members at the heart of Corporate Accountability to give more boldly and more deeply than they ever thought possible and bring new people in to join us as well. You will build relationships with the people who power our campaigns and help them understand and act on the impact they can have toward building a world rooted in justice. You will organize events throughout the year to engage our members and build relationships with those who haven’t given before. You’ll build an in-depth expertise on our issue areas and campaigns, and be ready to speak at the drop of a hat to the problems our world faces and the people powering the solutions.
You’ll do it all with the expertise of a decades-strong campaign organization known for its ability to build and maintain people power over the long haul. You’ll be trained, motivated, and inspired by a team of organizers that sees injustice in the world and knows the only way to solve it is to talk to one person at a time. And in doing so, you’ll bring hope to people around the country who believe a better world is possible and are just waiting for you to ask them to get involved.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have makes you mad as hell -- and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You passionately believe that relationship-based organizing is how we change the world—and you’ve got the relationship-building and interpersonal communication skills to prove it. Whether in person, on the phone, virtually, or through written communications, you make connections and build and maintain relationships for the long term. You are particularly skilled at building relationships across race, language, cultural, and gender differences. You’re a stellar active listener, adept at responding to nonverbal and verbal cues, and can quickly adjust your communication style to what works best for the context.
You have asked people for money to help achieve their vision of a more just world. And you’re excited to learn from Corporate Accountability’s decades of experience of a people-powered organizing and fundraising approach. You believe that asking for and giving money are both powerful acts of social change and are committed to resourcing long-term effective campaigning.
You can easily adapt and shift when conditions change or opportunities arise. You view unexpected situations as a chance to come up with creative solutions that might be even better than the original plan. And you’re ready to move forward with new pathways to challenges that come up when heading towards your goals.
You care about the details. You are ready to make connections between the threads you hear in a conversation in order to remember them for the next time you’re in touch. Whether it’s tracking folks' gift commitments to noticing a wrong address in our database, you’re organized and accurate in keeping records.
You know who you are and what you need to bring your best self forward and do your best work in an independent setting. You’re always learning, reflecting, and integrating what you learn to keep yourself motivated and on track towards your goals. You are comfortable getting feedback from others and applying it into how you approach and practice your work.
You are excited to travel to cities and metro-areas across the U.S. as a part of your role. You are ready to travel 5-8 times a year for house parties or fundraising events, in-person meetings with donors, and/or donor network gatherings. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we will continue to center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.
You have 1-3 years of experience in fundraising, organizing, campaigning or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Build relationships with current and prospective members and philanthropic partners to raise and bank gifts that will enable us to scale up our transformative campaigns. Maintain a portfolio of donors of around 75 donors, engaging them to take action that furthers our campaign areas and working alongside members to make an impact towards a more just world. You’ll be connecting with folks over the phone, via email, by video meetings, and sometimes in person.
Drive the effective cultivation and stewardship of our members: Through deep relationship-building, inspire them to get involved in ways ranging from increasing their giving to bringing in new people to taking high-level action to advance our campaigns. This might look like having deep one-on-one conversations with members to increase their engagement, selecting campaign updates to share based on your knowledge of their values and vision, or thanking a brand new donor for joining our work.
Help bring on new members, leading engagement with people who are interested in our mission at events or virtually. Maintain relationships with potential donors, engaging them in our campaigns. Work with the entire fundraising team to implement strategic tactics for meeting new people which could include hosting events in-person, webinars, etc.
Ensure solid record keeping on your conversations and key notes from your members to carry our relationships forward in our Salesforce donor database and systems with our financial team.
Collaborate within our team and with other units to help ensure we have what we need to fundraise. This could look like reaching out to the campaigns team for the latest updates, working with communications on materials, or giving input on systems that support our team to evolve them as we go.
Travel 5-8 times a year for membership cultivation, meeting with members in our membership base and donors in your portfolio.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
