The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of law is
a non-partisan public policy and law institute that focuses on the
fundamental issues of democracy and justice. Our work ranges from
voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in
criminal law to presidential power in the fight against terrorism. A
singular institution - part think tank, part public interest law firm,
part advocacy group - the Brennan Center combines scholarship,
legislative and legal advocacy, and communications to win meaningful,
measurable change in the public sector.
Position: The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is
seeking two full-time Research Associates for the Center’s Democracy
Program. The Democracy Program seeks to change the ways in which
citizens participate in their government by fixing the systems that
discourage voting, hinder competition and promote the interests of the
few over the rights of the many. To advance these goals, the Center
employs research, policy analysis and publications, media outreach and
public education, legislative counseling and advocacy, and legal
action in six project areas: Campaign Finance Reform, Fair Courts,
Voting Rights & Elections, Voting After Criminal Conviction, New York
Reform, and Redistricting.
Research Associates assist with substantive projects as well as those
aspects of administration, communications, and fundraising for which
the Democracy Program is responsible. Research Associates typically
combine a concentration in one or two project areas with general
duties, including: providing legal and factual research; drafting, and
editing publications; organizing events; and providing administrative,
clerical, and paralegal assistance.
These positions will focus primarily on our money and politics,
voting, and other democracy issues as they arise.
Qualifications: Initiative, drive, and commitment; excellent research,
analytic, and writing skills; computer skills; professionalism,
reliability, flexibility, and attention to detail. Candidates must be
willing to do administrative and clerical work. Experience with
democracy issues a plus. Paralegal experience or experience in
statistical analysis preferred, but not required.
The Brennan Center, an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer,
is strongly committed to diversity and welcomes applicants of all
races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations, including people
who have been previously incarcerated.
This is an entry level position; lawyers and individuals with advanced
degrees should not apply.
Start Date: One position begins in February 2011 and one in summer
2011. Applicants must be willing to make a two-year commitment.
Salary: $35-40,000, based on years out of college or comparable
experience.
How to Apply: As one file, upload a cover letter, resume, writing
sample of up to 10 pages, and contact information for three references
online at http://brennancenter.theresumator.com/apply/2wPQG8/Research-Associate-Democracy-Program-2011.html?source=jobsthatareleft

system, you may send your application by e-mail to:
