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.

Legal Manager The Position:
The Legal Manager will join the legal action team and ensure projects run smoothly and in alignment with Justice in Motion’s theory of social change and program work goals, with the guidance and under the supervision of the Legal Director. While the initial focus of the position will be implementing legal action program objectives that support access to justice for migrant workers whose rights are violated while working in the U.S., specifically temporary foreign workers under the H-2 visa programs, over time the areas of concentration will shift as needed.
The ideal candidate is a lawyer with at least 3-5 years of experience representing migrant clients in federal employment or civil rights litigation and who is also an effective and proven project manager. Because the Legal Manager will regularly interact with lawyers in the U.S. and with members of the Justice in Motion Defender Network in Mexico and Central America, the candidate we seek must have professional-level Spanish fluency (written and spoken), which will be assessed as the first step of our hiring process.
Note: Justice in Motion does not represent clients directly. This position does not include client representation or direct legal services.
A successful candidate for this position will meet these requirements:
1. An experienced litigator ready to move away from representing clients : This person has a JD or LLM from an accredited law school in the U.S., and at least 3-5 years of experience practicing law in the U.S., including in federal civil litigation on behalf of migrant clients. Relevant experience also includes project management, client representation focusing on employment and civil rights claims, or immigration law practice, including petitions or representation for humanitarian relief. This is someone who has appreciated their time practicing law but is eager to “zoom out” to work on broader issues related to access to justice and migration policy at a project-level.
2. Spanish and English fluency in a professional setting: This person is either a native Spanish speaker, or has significant experience using Spanish professionally, and can communicate across all dimensions (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and who can easily switch back and forth between English and Spanish, picking up nuances accurately, with comprehension consistently nearing 100%.
3. Tech-savvy: This is someone who easily picks up and adapts to new technologies and systems, can quickly figure out their way around a database, and knows how to use video and chat apps to find the best way to connect. Must be great with Excel and Word, GSuite, Adobe Acrobat, and basic document management. Salesforce or a comparable case management database experience is a plus.
4. An organizational whiz. This person loves the administrative side of program implementation- preparing for and handling lots of details and multiple initiatives running in parallel, methodically using task management systems to keep track of projects, and to help their colleagues to know what the priorities are so that deadlines are met.
5. Natural collaborator: This person demonstrates emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and patience, and can work with stakeholders from a variety of cultural backgrounds, with different paradigms and visions for how social change happens.
6. Proactive communicator: This person excels at confirming what’s being requested, checking for understanding, communicating progress regularly, and raising potential issues before they become major problems. They welcome feedback and are oriented toward the larger success of the work, employing patience and finesse to meet people where they are.
7. Patience and adaptability: This is someone who knows people operate in different ways, and takes the time needed to work with each individual, and follows up appropriately. They can adapt to and thrive amidst changing circumstances and have a demonstrated ability to learn new concepts. This person appreciates creative planning and adjusting to meet new needs.
8. Cross-cultural awareness and ability to travel internationally: This is someone who has lived or worked with people from many cultures and within diverse communities and thrives in those environments. They enjoy being able to connect with a wide variety of people, and easily demonstrate curiosity and empathy. As this job will require periodic in-person collaboration building to advance portable justice, the candidate must be willing and able to travel internationally.
Responsibilities: The primary responsibility includes project management supporting Justice in Motion’s collaborative work to ensure portable justice for migrants. Projects address cross-border challenges in the migrant rights and immigration landscape and elevate international collaboration within civil society to advance access to justice for migrants, harnessing the added value of Justice in Motion’s collaborative model and Defender Network in specific cases. This is an important position on a small team and duties may shift over time depending on strategic vision, opportunity, and the legal action team’s composition and capacity.
Specific job responsibilities include: 1. Project Management: Engage in special project implementation and evaluation as needed resulting from successful funding requests. This may include workflow development, program administration, data entry and outcome reporting, narrative writing, case collaboration management, advice and referral services for lawyers based in the U.S. and members of the JiM Defender Network, meeting facilitation, and evaluation.
2. Relationship Management: Initiate and sustain collegial working relationships with members of the Justice in Motion Defender Network in Mexico and Central America and with the Advocates in US and Canada who represent migrants needing JiM Defenders’ assistance.
3. Legal Research and Knowledge Base: Maintain knowledge of civil litigation and procedures specific to representing clients from Mexico and Central America, solutions to cross-border legal issues, temporary foreign work visas, employment and civil rights laws related to migrants in the U.S., immigration law and procedure, US migration and labor policy towards migrants from Mexico and Central America, particularly as it relates to employment and civil rights violations faced by migrants and humanitarian migration benefits for migrants seeking protection. Share knowledge with the team as needed.
4. Legal Training and Writing: Develop and deliver training (virtual and in-person) in Spanish and English to constituencies as needed and draft legal practice and advisory publications in both Spanish and English regarding migrants’ employment and civil rights, immigration, and access to justice.
5. General Support for the Organization: On an as needed basis, participate in JiM’s Policy program initiatives throughout the region related to migrant rights and protection, JiM’s Defender Network program capacity building related to cross-border collaboration serving migrants who need access to justice, and with Communications, Development, and Justice in Motion administration activities.
Details: The Legal Manager is a full-time, exempt position that reports to the Legal Director and begins as soon as possible. This is a union position and will be covered by Justice in Motion’s collective bargaining agreement. Union employees are represented by the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, UAW Local 2325.
Location and Travel: This is a remote position and can be based anywhere in the U.S., with set work hours aligned with the Eastern Time Zone. This position will require occasional travel to Central America, Mexico and within the U.S.
Salary and Benefits : Salary is based on the scale in the collective bargaining agreement, with a range of $69,200 (step 5) to $81,000 (step 12), depending on experience. Justice in Motion provides a comprehensive benefits package including health care, a retirement plan, and a generous amount of leave.

While the initial focus of the position will be implementing legal action program objectives that support access to justice for migrant workers whose rights are violated while working in the U.S., specifically temporary foreign workers under the H-2 visa programs, over time the areas of concentration will shift as needed.
The ideal candidate is a lawyer with at least 3-5 years of experience representing migrant clients in federal employment or civil rights litigation and who is also an effective and proven project manager. Because the Legal Manager will regularly interact with lawyers in the U.S. and with members of the Justice in Motion Defender Network in Mexico and Central America, the candidate we seek must have professional-level Spanish fluency (written and spoken), which will be assessed as the first step of our hiring process.
Note: Justice in Motion does not represent clients directly. This position does not include client representation or direct legal services.
A successful candidate for this position will meet these requirements:
1. An experienced litigator ready to move away from representing clients : This person has a JD or LLM from an accredited law school in the U.S., and at least 3-5 years of experience practicing law in the U.S., including in federal civil litigation on behalf of migrant clients. Relevant experience also includes project management, client representation focusing on employment and civil rights claims, or immigration law practice, including petitions or representation for humanitarian relief. This is someone who has appreciated their time practicing law but is eager to “zoom out” to work on broader issues related to access to justice and migration policy at a project-level.
2. Spanish and English fluency in a professional setting: This person is either a native Spanish speaker, or has significant experience using Spanish professionally, and can communicate across all dimensions (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and who can easily switch back and forth between English and Spanish, picking up nuances accurately, with comprehension consistently nearing 100%.
3. Tech-savvy: This is someone who easily picks up and adapts to new technologies and systems, can quickly figure out their way around a database, and knows how to use video and chat apps to find the best way to connect. Must be great with Excel and Word, GSuite, Adobe Acrobat, and basic document management. Salesforce or a comparable case management database experience is a plus.
4. An organizational whiz. This person loves the administrative side of program implementation- preparing for and handling lots of details and multiple initiatives running in parallel, methodically using task management systems to keep track of projects, and to help their colleagues to know what the priorities are so that deadlines are met.
5. Natural collaborator: This person demonstrates emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and patience, and can work with stakeholders from a variety of cultural backgrounds, with different paradigms and visions for how social change happens.
6. Proactive communicator: This person excels at confirming what’s being requested, checking for understanding, communicating progress regularly, and raising potential issues before they become major problems. They welcome feedback and are oriented toward the larger success of the work, employing patience and finesse to meet people where they are.
7. Patience and adaptability: This is someone who knows people operate in different ways, and takes the time needed to work with each individual, and follows up appropriately. They can adapt to and thrive amidst changing circumstances and have a demonstrated ability to learn new concepts. This person appreciates creative planning and adjusting to meet new needs.
8. Cross-cultural awareness and ability to travel internationally: This is someone who has lived or worked with people from many cultures and within diverse communities and thrives in those environments. They enjoy being able to connect with a wide variety of people, and easily demonstrate curiosity and empathy. As this job will require periodic in-person collaboration building to advance portable justice, the candidate must be willing and able to travel internationally.
Responsibilities: The primary responsibility includes project management supporting Justice in Motion’s collaborative work to ensure portable justice for migrants. Projects address cross-border challenges in the migrant rights and immigration landscape and elevate international collaboration within civil society to advance access to justice for migrants, harnessing the added value of Justice in Motion’s collaborative model and Defender Network in specific cases. This is an important position on a small team and duties may shift over time depending on strategic vision, opportunity, and the legal action team’s composition and capacity.
Specific job responsibilities include: 1. Project Management: Engage in special project implementation and evaluation as needed resulting from successful funding requests. This may include workflow development, program administration, data entry and outcome reporting, narrative writing, case collaboration management, advice and referral services for lawyers based in the U.S. and members of the JiM Defender Network, meeting facilitation, and evaluation.
2. Relationship Management: Initiate and sustain collegial working relationships with members of the Justice in Motion Defender Network in Mexico and Central America and with the Advocates in US and Canada who represent migrants needing JiM Defenders’ assistance.
3. Legal Research and Knowledge Base: Maintain knowledge of civil litigation and procedures specific to representing clients from Mexico and Central America, solutions to cross-border legal issues, temporary foreign work visas, employment and civil rights laws related to migrants in the U.S., immigration law and procedure, US migration and labor policy towards migrants from Mexico and Central America, particularly as it relates to employment and civil rights violations faced by migrants and humanitarian migration benefits for migrants seeking protection. Share knowledge with the team as needed.
4. Legal Training and Writing: Develop and deliver training (virtual and in-person) in Spanish and English to constituencies as needed and draft legal practice and advisory publications in both Spanish and English regarding migrants’ employment and civil rights, immigration, and access to justice.
5. General Support for the Organization: On an as needed basis, participate in JiM’s Policy program initiatives throughout the region related to migrant rights and protection, JiM’s Defender Network program capacity building related to cross-border collaboration serving migrants who need access to justice, and with Communications, Development, and Justice in Motion administration activities.
Details: The Legal Manager is a full-time, exempt position that reports to the Legal Director and begins as soon as possible. This is a union position and will be covered by Justice in Motion’s collective bargaining agreement. Union employees are represented by the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, UAW Local 2325.
Location and Travel: This is a remote position and can be based anywhere in the U.S., with set work hours aligned with the Eastern Time Zone. This position will require occasional travel to Central America, Mexico and within the U.S.
Salary and Benefits : Salary is based on the scale in the collective bargaining agreement, with a range of $69,200 (step 5) to $81,000 (step 12), depending on experience. Justice in Motion provides a comprehensive benefits package including health care, a retirement plan, and a generous amount of leave.

Protect Democracy seeks highly motivated Research Associates who are passionate about protecting and strengthening our democracy by contributing to research products that form the foundation of our advocacy strategies.
Our research products, both qualitative and quantitative and short- and long-form, often seek to introduce ideas to the public discourse that can drive policy change on democracy issues. You can view some of our existing research here . For example, our report Towards Non-Recurrence: Accountability Options for Trump-Era Transgressions (December 2019) helped us introduce ideas into the public discourse about the value of and framework for accountability to prevent future abuses after the Trump era. That work provided the foundation for our advocacy and additional written products to create accountability for the January 6th insurrection. You can find other examples here .
In this role, you will provide foundational research and writing support – under the direction of researchers, policy advocates, and/or attorneys – to advance Protect Democracy’s mission. This is an excellent opportunity for either a recent graduate with research experience, or a more seasoned researcher to expand their skill set, contribute to the research projects that we produce and publish, and make an indelible impact on our mission.
We do not expect that any one candidate will have all of the experiences and requirements listed — our current team comes from a variety of professional backgrounds, including academia and the public and private sectors. We encourage you to apply if the job description gets you excited about the role and the work of Protect Democracy.
We also encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds and from across the political and ideological spectrum to apply. You can work remotely from any location in the United States.

Protect Democracy seeks highly motivated Research Associates who are passionate about protecting and strengthening our democracy by contributing to research products that form the foundation of our advocacy strategies.
Our research products, both qualitative and quantitative and short- and long-form, often seek to introduce ideas to the public discourse that can drive policy change on democracy issues. You can view some of our existing research here . For example, our report Towards Non-Recurrence: Accountability Options for Trump-Era Transgressions (December 2019) helped us introduce ideas into the public discourse about the value of and framework for accountability to prevent future abuses after the Trump era. That work provided the foundation for our advocacy and additional written products to create accountability for the January 6th insurrection. You can find other examples here .
In this role, you will provide foundational research and writing support – under the direction of researchers, policy advocates, and/or attorneys – to advance Protect Democracy’s mission. This is an excellent opportunity for either a recent graduate with research experience, or a more seasoned researcher to expand their skill set, contribute to the research projects that we produce and publish, and make an indelible impact on our mission.
We do not expect that any one candidate will have all of the experiences and requirements listed — our current team comes from a variety of professional backgrounds, including academia and the public and private sectors. We encourage you to apply if the job description gets you excited about the role and the work of Protect Democracy.

THE ORGANIZATION
MISSION
As You Sow seeks to promote environmental and social corporate responsibility through shareholder advocacy, coalition building, and innovative legal strategies.
VISION
Our vision is a safe, just, and sustainable world in which protecting the environment and human rights is central to corporate decision-making.
OVERVIEW
As You Sow is a Berkeley-based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1992 that promotes corporate environmental and social responsibility through shareholder advocacy, coalition building, and innovative legal strategies. We believe that the path to a safe, just, and sustainable world for all, can be achieved by compelling corporations to take greater responsibility for the impacts of their environmental, social, and governance policies and practices. We achieve this goal through direct engagement, shareholder advocacy, research, publishing scorecards, and other innovative and legal actions.
COMMITMENT TO DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion)
As You Sow actively seeks to recruit and retain a diverse staff in all areas of operations. As You Sow will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, sex, or sexual orientation.
THE POSITION
As You Sow’s climate and energy program works to make positive change in the world by moving companies to align their actions with global climate goals. As the Private Equity Coordinator, you will have an opportunity with As You Sow to improve Private Equity’s role in reducing climate change. This applies to both publicly traded private equity firms and privately held private equity.
As more and more public companies rely on Private Equity to buy up their high carbon energy assets, while claiming to address climate change, unacceptable levels of emissions continue unabated. One of the main focuses of this position will be tackling the growing issue of Private Equity carbon emission disclosure.
The goal of As You Sow’s work in private equity will be to begin leveling the playing field between public companies and those funded through private equity, shining a light on climate impact and insufficient environmental, social, and governance practices in private equity. We will work to ensure that the private equity industry is required to report on climate impact, the climate and financial risk of its investments, and its environmental and social impacts, giving investors an accurate understanding of the risks of investing in private equity – particularly when they represent pensions that have a responsibility to provide reliable income and a secure future to millions of retirees.
This position will be part of As You Sow’s Climate and Energy program, which moves companies to develop and set science-based greenhouse gas emissions targets, establish net zero by 2050 goals, disclose climate transition plans, and achieve aligned emissions reductions. The Private Equity Coordinator will work to develop a program to educate investors and change private equity practices related to climate.
Work will include researching a range of private equity company policies and practices, including emission reduction targets, incentives for climate performance, climate and environmental justice considerations, climate risk management, and climate regulations. This is a full-time exempt position.
Position Type: 1.0 FTE. Exempt
Start date: Position will be open until filled
Reports to: President and Chief Counsel
ESSENTIAL DUTIES
Work with President to develop and implement a comprehensive campaign to address climate risk in private equity.
Monitor and assess reporting, analyst reports, academic journals, media reports, and other relevant information sources.
Conduct independent research and work with colleagues in the investment arena to increase awareness and action related to the risks associated with private equity’s lack of publicly available climate-related reporting, goals, and actions.
Research and draft reports or other information pieces; develop other educational materials as appropriate; develop comments to regulatory agencies.
Publish benchmarks for reporting from private equity firms and institutional investors and how private equity firms perform on those benchmarks
Organize one or more webinars to educate investors, bringing together experts on climate and private equity
Research the potential for addressing regulatory policies to strengthen financial and climate reporting by private equity firms;
Convene investors around private equity and climate risks within investor networks (ICCR, Ceres, CA100+)
Draft press releases and conduct press around private equity stories or announcements as applicable to drive attention to climate impacts of private equity.
QUALIFICATIONS
3+ years of experience in ESG, climate, energy, and/or corporate responsibility
Experience/understanding of private equity
Experience in campaign development
Demonstrated research, analysis, and writing skills
Strong data communication skills, including data visualization and ability to effectively summarize key information
Excellent attention to detail
Strong organizational and time management skills
Ability to handle and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
Ability to act independently, communicate frequently, and ask questions when needed
Demonstrated commitment to progressive social and environmental change
Experience in Microsoft Office Suite including Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint
Experience with project management tools a plus.
Strong work ethic, self-motivation, and commitment to excellence.
Sense of humor appreciated.

Reports to: Senior Director of Research Staff reporting to this position: None Department: Advocacy and Outreach Position classification: Exempt, full time; Nonunion - Level 7 Minimum compensation: $92,000 Work site: Hybrid (on-site two days per week, Washington, D.C., office)
Summary
American Progress has an immediate opening for a Director of Research in the organization’s Advocacy and Outreach department. The department’s research team is made up of three directors who lead, execute, and plan investigative projects in partnership with the building’s communications, policy, and digital teams. The role will also be responsible for helping ensure all content from the Center for American Progress Action Fund is fair and accurate. The Director of Research’s work will be driven by American Progress’ mission to improve the lives of all Americans through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country.
They will be part of a dynamic department that supports work across American Progress’ five crosscutting priorities:
Strengthening health and ending the pandemic
Building an economy for all
Tackling climate change and environmental injustice
Advancing racial equity and justice
Restoring social trust in democracy
The Director will be focused on making the case for the progressive economic record and against the failed conservative economic policies by cataloging the impacts of progressive investments, conducting basic statistical analysis and archival research, and curating the larger public record. While the economy has increasingly become more rigged against working families over the past 50 years, conservative leaders have built an embellished and inaccurate economic brand using an increasingly walled-off echo chamber via talk radio, cable TV, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, ensuring their message dominates many Americans’ attention spans. With Americans facing this increasing onslaught of news and media content, it has never been more important for progressives to close this gap and build the necessary genuine arguments that break through the clutter and reach key audiences. The Center for American Progress Action Fund is committed to leading this effort with allies and partners across the progressive space.
The Director of Research will play an important role in this effort through producing analysis and research products for reporters, digital content creators, and progressive voices. The successful candidate for this role will be a leader in a growing cross-organization effort that builds and curates the evidence of the progressive economic case to make American Progress’ arguments more impactful, persuasive, and digestible for a variety of audiences. Strong candidates will have impeccable writing and organizational skills, the ability to analyze large data sets, and a librarian’s knack for finding everything from campaign finance records to corporate SEC filings.
Responsibilities:
Work with the Senior Director of Research to develop a long-term strategy and plan for the team’s effort to spotlight conservative policy failures and showcase progressive economic successes.
Help manage projects, consultants, and personnel outside of the research team to put compelling research together.

Full time
Reports to: Senior Director of Research Staff reporting to this position: None Department: Advocacy and Outreach Position classification: Exempt, full time; Nonunion - Level 7 Minimum compensation: $92,000 Work site: Hybrid (on-site two days per week, Washington, D.C., office)
Summary
American Progress has an immediate opening for a Director of Research in the organization’s Advocacy and Outreach department. The department’s research team is made up of three directors who lead, execute, and plan investigative projects in partnership with the building’s communications, policy, and digital teams. The role will also be responsible for helping ensure all content from the Center for American Progress Action Fund is fair and accurate. The Director of Research’s work will be driven by American Progress’ mission to improve the lives of all Americans through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country.
They will be part of a dynamic department that supports work across American Progress’ five crosscutting priorities:
Strengthening health and ending the pandemic
Building an economy for all
Tackling climate change and environmental injustice
Advancing racial equity and justice
Restoring social trust in democracy
The Director will be focused on making the case for the progressive economic record and against the failed conservative economic policies by cataloging the impacts of progressive investments, conducting basic statistical analysis and archival research, and curating the larger public record. While the economy has increasingly become more rigged against working families over the past 50 years, conservative leaders have built an embellished and inaccurate economic brand using an increasingly walled-off echo chamber via talk radio, cable TV, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, ensuring their message dominates many Americans’ attention spans. With Americans facing this increasing onslaught of news and media content, it has never been more important for progressives to close this gap and build the necessary genuine arguments that break through the clutter and reach key audiences. The Center for American Progress Action Fund is committed to leading this effort with allies and partners across the progressive space.
The Director of Research will play an important role in this effort through producing analysis and research products for reporters, digital content creators, and progressive voices. The successful candidate for this role will be a leader in a growing cross-organization effort that builds and curates the evidence of the progressive economic case to make American Progress’ arguments more impactful, persuasive, and digestible for a variety of audiences. Strong candidates will have impeccable writing and organizational skills, the ability to analyze large data sets, and a librarian’s knack for finding everything from campaign finance records to corporate SEC filings.
Responsibilities:
Work with the Senior Director of Research to develop a long-term strategy and plan for the team’s effort to spotlight conservative policy failures and showcase progressive economic successes.
Help manage projects, consultants, and personnel outside of the research team to put compelling research together.
Quickly and concisely research and write products for public consumption on a daily basis.
Build relationships with external research allies.
Work closely with staff across the department to ensure that a research lens and approach are integrated into all American Progress campaigns and efforts, as appropriate.
Ensure all of the team’s and larger department’s content meets a high bar of accuracy and fairness through quality control fact-checking procedures.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the sole organization dedicated to electing Democrats to statehouses. Since 2016, the DLCC and state partners have built eight new majorities and flipped seats from red to blue across the country – paving the way for progress. State legislatures pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy.
Taking back power starts at the local level. The DLCC recruits, trains, and supports local Democrats running for their state legislatures. We provide our candidates with the resources, field support, and data necessary to run smart, winning campaigns. By gaining a foothold in state legislatures, Democrats can engage supporters across the country and prepare for victories in statewide and national elections.
We’re powered by more than 200,000 supporters from all 50 states. Over 98% of our contributions come from grassroots donors (giving an average of $29), who fuel thousands of local Democratic candidates across the country.
Building up Democratic majorities in the states is more important than ever. With right-wing radicals proliferating state legislatures across the country and redistricting happening this year, our democracy is on the line. We’re counting on our supporters to get educated, involved, and take action in their communities.
The DLCC compensates employees competitively and provides a very generous benefits package. We believe in work-life balance and understand that every employee has unique circumstances at home. We offer employees significant amounts of time off as well as flexible work options.

Full time
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the sole organization dedicated to electing Democrats to statehouses. Since 2016, the DLCC and state partners have built eight new majorities and flipped seats from red to blue across the country – paving the way for progress. State legislatures pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy.
Taking back power starts at the local level. The DLCC recruits, trains, and supports local Democrats running for their state legislatures. We provide our candidates with the resources, field support, and data necessary to run smart, winning campaigns. By gaining a foothold in state legislatures, Democrats can engage supporters across the country and prepare for victories in statewide and national elections.
We’re powered by more than 200,000 supporters from all 50 states. Over 98% of our contributions come from grassroots donors (giving an average of $29), who fuel thousands of local Democratic candidates across the country.
Building up Democratic majorities in the states is more important than ever. With right-wing radicals proliferating state legislatures across the country and redistricting happening this year, our democracy is on the line. We’re counting on our supporters to get educated, involved, and take action in their communities.
The DLCC compensates employees competitively and provides a very generous benefits package. We believe in work-life balance and understand that every employee has unique circumstances at home. We offer employees significant amounts of time off as well as flexible work options. We’re dedicated to treating one another with respect in the workplace and prioritize racial equity and inclusion (REI) in our work with one another as well as with our stakeholders.
