Center for Science in the Public Interest
1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is the leading, independent authority on food and nutrition. Recognizing that consumers can only eat healthfully when healthy options are available, we work to improve the places where people buy and eat food. By building support for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, we improved school meals and by threatening litigation against the American Beverage Association, we removed full-sugar soda from schools. CSPI successfully led efforts to include menu labeling provisions in the Affordable Care Act, allowing consumers to choose fewer calories and incentivizing restaurants to add healthier menu items. Our leadership on food service guidelines is helping communities increase access to healthier food in public spaces like government agencies, hospitals, and correctional facilities.
One of our top goals is to transform the place where Americans get most of their food—grocery stores. We are mobilizing advocates, coalition partners, and at-risk populations to support state and local policies and corporate campaigns to improve the retail food environment. We urge supermarkets and other large food retail stores to shift the mix of products that they promote and make available to consumers. Through research and pilot programs, we aim to create evidence-based campaigns that will be both beneficial to the health of consumers and economically sustainable for retailers. And we are leading efforts to have federal and state agencies end trade practices that stifle fair competition among food manufacturers and that reinforce the marketing of unhealthy food by retailers.
The Senior Policy Associate advocates for improved food and nutrition policies with local, state, and federal policy makers; encourages food companies to improve their products and practices; and engages organizations, health professionals, academics, and concerned citizens in supporting food and nutrition policies. This work will engage and support historically under-resourced communities that experience health disparities and are disproportionately targeted by the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages. This position reports to the Advocacy Director, and is available either in CSPI’s Washington, DC office or remotely.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Lead campaign to advocate for and encourage grocery stores and retailers to improve the retail environment.
Co-lead a team of cross-organizational staff to develop and implement Healthy Retail campaigns, including organizing, communications, digital, scientific, legal, and other policy staff, and create synergies with CSPI’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Foodbank teams.
Encourage corporate strategies that improve the food retail environment for consumers across the nation.
Identify research gaps and innovative healthy retail approaches that lead to sustainable and meaningful improvements to the food retail environment.
Draft case studies and reports on groundbreaking initiatives and studies on healthy retail.

Nov 23, 2020
Full time
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is the leading, independent authority on food and nutrition. Recognizing that consumers can only eat healthfully when healthy options are available, we work to improve the places where people buy and eat food. By building support for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, we improved school meals and by threatening litigation against the American Beverage Association, we removed full-sugar soda from schools. CSPI successfully led efforts to include menu labeling provisions in the Affordable Care Act, allowing consumers to choose fewer calories and incentivizing restaurants to add healthier menu items. Our leadership on food service guidelines is helping communities increase access to healthier food in public spaces like government agencies, hospitals, and correctional facilities.
One of our top goals is to transform the place where Americans get most of their food—grocery stores. We are mobilizing advocates, coalition partners, and at-risk populations to support state and local policies and corporate campaigns to improve the retail food environment. We urge supermarkets and other large food retail stores to shift the mix of products that they promote and make available to consumers. Through research and pilot programs, we aim to create evidence-based campaigns that will be both beneficial to the health of consumers and economically sustainable for retailers. And we are leading efforts to have federal and state agencies end trade practices that stifle fair competition among food manufacturers and that reinforce the marketing of unhealthy food by retailers.
The Senior Policy Associate advocates for improved food and nutrition policies with local, state, and federal policy makers; encourages food companies to improve their products and practices; and engages organizations, health professionals, academics, and concerned citizens in supporting food and nutrition policies. This work will engage and support historically under-resourced communities that experience health disparities and are disproportionately targeted by the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages. This position reports to the Advocacy Director, and is available either in CSPI’s Washington, DC office or remotely.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Lead campaign to advocate for and encourage grocery stores and retailers to improve the retail environment.
Co-lead a team of cross-organizational staff to develop and implement Healthy Retail campaigns, including organizing, communications, digital, scientific, legal, and other policy staff, and create synergies with CSPI’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Foodbank teams.
Encourage corporate strategies that improve the food retail environment for consumers across the nation.
Identify research gaps and innovative healthy retail approaches that lead to sustainable and meaningful improvements to the food retail environment.
Draft case studies and reports on groundbreaking initiatives and studies on healthy retail.
Cultivate interest among researchers and retailers to conduct pilot programs in support of a healthy retail environment.
Develop and maintain relationships with other organizations, coalitions, and funders.
Contract with and manage consultants, including monitoring metrics and budgets and support the subgrant process by reviewing proposals and providing advice and technical assistance.
Represent CSPI as a spokesperson through presentations and trainings, at conferences, in coalitions, online, and with policymakers, CEOs, and the press.

American Oversight
Washington, DC (remote possible)
How can government officials be held accountable for misconduct if no one knows about it? American Oversight is a non-partisan, non-profit watchdog that uses targeted public records requests and litigation to expose evidence of corruption, misconduct, or conflicts of interest.
American Oversight’s work exposed hundreds of pages of Ukraine documents that were withheld from Congress, we prompted the discovery of Ivanka Trump’s extensive use of a private email system, and we’ve investigated and uncovered widespread conflicts of interest across the cabinet. Through our State Accountability Project, we’re investigating voter suppression in multiple states.
We’re looking for an exceptional researcher to help us identify and execute high-impact investigations. American Oversight’s researchers are avid consumers of the news with an eye for how small details fit meaningfully into larger stories. Researchers also care deeply about how government misconduct affects everyday people, and in particular marginalized communities.
This position is open to candidates anywhere in the United States, although many internal meetings and deadlines are scheduled during Eastern Time Zone business hours. For those candidates who are based in Washington, D.C., while we are currently teleworking, the office is located downtown and is easily accessible by multiple metro and bus lines. Researchers report to the research director.
RESPONSIBILITIES
As a researcher, you’ll join a small and dedicated team that works to identify opportunities to shed light on government corruption and misconduct using public records requests.
The researcher will:
Closely follow the news – including mainstream outlets, industry newsletters, and other sources – to identify opportunities to shed light on important stories using public records requests.
Work with American Oversight’s legal team to conceptualize and draft targeted, strategic, litigation-ready public records requests on important issues to federal and state agencies.
Analyze documents that we receive from public records requests to identify unreported details, trends, and stories.
Work with the communications team to tell the stories we find by writing blog posts, background documents, and other written products.
Build relationships with allied organizations, government watchdogs, and members of the press to share and enhance our work.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are open to applications from individuals with a broad range of types of experience and experience levels. The qualifications that we’re looking for are:
One to five years’ cumulative work and/or internship experience in journalism, campaign research, government oversight and accountability, or another investigative or research field
Proven ability to think strategically about and execute complex investigations with clear goals and a focus on outcomes
Exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to find the key fact in a mountain of documents and place it into a larger context
A wide-ranging news diet and an ability to spot important, underreported stories
Success handling multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Strong writing skills and the ability to use documents to tell clear, compelling stories
Self-motivation, collegiality, and the ability to work both collaboratively and independently
The highest degree of professional ethics and integrity

Full time
How can government officials be held accountable for misconduct if no one knows about it? American Oversight is a non-partisan, non-profit watchdog that uses targeted public records requests and litigation to expose evidence of corruption, misconduct, or conflicts of interest.
American Oversight’s work exposed hundreds of pages of Ukraine documents that were withheld from Congress, we prompted the discovery of Ivanka Trump’s extensive use of a private email system, and we’ve investigated and uncovered widespread conflicts of interest across the cabinet. Through our State Accountability Project, we’re investigating voter suppression in multiple states.
We’re looking for an exceptional researcher to help us identify and execute high-impact investigations. American Oversight’s researchers are avid consumers of the news with an eye for how small details fit meaningfully into larger stories. Researchers also care deeply about how government misconduct affects everyday people, and in particular marginalized communities.
This position is open to candidates anywhere in the United States, although many internal meetings and deadlines are scheduled during Eastern Time Zone business hours. For those candidates who are based in Washington, D.C., while we are currently teleworking, the office is located downtown and is easily accessible by multiple metro and bus lines. Researchers report to the research director.
RESPONSIBILITIES
As a researcher, you’ll join a small and dedicated team that works to identify opportunities to shed light on government corruption and misconduct using public records requests.
The researcher will:
Closely follow the news – including mainstream outlets, industry newsletters, and other sources – to identify opportunities to shed light on important stories using public records requests.
Work with American Oversight’s legal team to conceptualize and draft targeted, strategic, litigation-ready public records requests on important issues to federal and state agencies.
Analyze documents that we receive from public records requests to identify unreported details, trends, and stories.
Work with the communications team to tell the stories we find by writing blog posts, background documents, and other written products.
Build relationships with allied organizations, government watchdogs, and members of the press to share and enhance our work.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are open to applications from individuals with a broad range of types of experience and experience levels. The qualifications that we’re looking for are:
One to five years’ cumulative work and/or internship experience in journalism, campaign research, government oversight and accountability, or another investigative or research field
Proven ability to think strategically about and execute complex investigations with clear goals and a focus on outcomes
Exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to find the key fact in a mountain of documents and place it into a larger context
A wide-ranging news diet and an ability to spot important, underreported stories
Success handling multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Strong writing skills and the ability to use documents to tell clear, compelling stories
Self-motivation, collegiality, and the ability to work both collaboratively and independently
The highest degree of professional ethics and integrity
If you think you’d be a great candidate for this position but do not fit every part of this description, please don’t hesitate to apply and tell us why you’d be a great fit for the job.

Location: Flexible
General Description :
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are unmatched in our ability to ensure meaningful action on our key issues. We aim to bring people and communities together across racial, geographic, political, religious, economic and other differences toward collective goals instead of dividing us from one another.

American Oversight is a non-profit organization dedicated to holding the executive branch accountable to the American people. Through open records requests and the power of the courts, we are working every day to promote accountability; to uncover corruption, malfeasance, or other misconduct; and to expose the administration to public scrutiny. American Oversight’s investigations helped uncover Ivanka Trump’s personal email use, former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s heavy focus on industry groups, and the lax work schedules kept by HUD Secretary Ben Carson and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and have led to dozens of other significant stories. We’re also expanding our focus and bringing our model to the states – using transparency tools to hold state governments accountable.
American Oversight is hiring research interns to support our investigative work and help us hold the Trump administration and state governments accountable.
The positions are located in Washington, DC, and report to our investigations director.

You’ll review documents that we receive from public records requests to identify newsworthy stories and opportunities for further research.
You’ll work with the communications team to write blog posts and other products synthesizing American Oversight’s research.
You’ll take on other tasks as needed.
QUALIFICATIONS
This position is open to students and recent graduates who are interested in building their research skills in preparation for careers in fields such as journalism, law, policy analysis, campaign research, or government oversight.
The ideal candidate will have excellent research and writing skills, engagement in political news and interest in the workings of the federal government, exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, comfort handling multiple projects in a fast-paced environment, and a positive, can-do attitude.

Rapid response: You’ll respond to breaking news by doing rapid-response research and drafting public records requests on tight deadlines.
QUALIFICATIONS
This position is open to individuals with diverse backgrounds, including journalism, opposition research, policy analysis, corporate investigations, and government oversight.

We are seeking individuals with the following qualifications:
One to three years’ cumulative work and/or internship experience in journalism, opposition research, or another investigative or research field
