job openings in civic renewal

Here is an up-to-date list of interesting jobs related to civic engagement, civic education, and community organizing. (I post such lists periodically.)

  • Program Administrator for CIRCLE’s National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement. NSLVE is an initiative of CIRCLE and Tisch College. It measures college student voting rates and will create a comprehensive national dataset of college and university student registration and voting rates. Reporting directly to the Director of Initiatives for the Study of Higher Education and Public Life, the Program Administrator will perform an important role in the NSLVE initiative. Key responsibilities of this position include: managing communications and information about participating campuses, working with the Director to recruit colleges and universities to participate by responding to inquiries and reaching out to institutional decision makers; working with the Director to develop recruitment strategies; producing and disseminating individual campus reports; working with CIRCLE researchers to ensure accuracy in the national dataset for research purposes;  maintaining a repository of program information to be used by the Director and other CIRCLE colleagues.
  • Network Organizer at Leading Change Network. The Leading Change Network is a global community of practice of some 100 organizers, researchers and educators.Initiated by Marshall Ganz, Harvard Kennedy School, and others, its purpose is to support its participants in developing the leadership, building the organizational capacity, and improving the ability of democratic organizing to meet the critical challenges of our times. At present, for example, participants in 11 countries work on topics that range from immigration reform, human rights, gender equity, and economic justice to climate change, public health, and domestic violence. The demand, however, far exceeds our current capacity to respond, indicated by a growing data base of over 2000 interested persons in more 25 countries who would like to engage with us. The purpose of our search is to find a person who can enable us to respond. We seek a proactive, creative and “well organized” online organizer to work with a diverse leadership team to build the network, grow the network, and manage network infrastructure (database, web site, social media, etc.)
  • Communications Coordinator, Tisch College, Tufts University. Tisch College generates an enduring culture of engagement by collaborating with schools, departments, and student groups to offer extensive programming for every member of the Tufts community. Reporting to the Communications Manager, the Communications Coordinator will be responsible for identifying, writing, and sharing print and web based content which showcases Tisch College’s work, reinforcing strategic communications themes. Assignments may include writing and managing print projects (such as newsletters, annual reports, and brochures) and digital communications (such as email, web content, social media, and video). The Communications Coordinator will assist in performing a range of editorial functions from brainstorming and researching themes to developing and writing feature stories. The position requires a demonstrated ability to write with style, verve, and brevity with an appreciation for engaging a variety of audiences. Additionally, the Communications Coordinator will strengthen the written research products from CIRCLE.
  • Tenure-track professor in public administration, School of Government, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Desired fields of specialization include collaboration, organization theory and behavior, or human capital management.
  • VP Marketing & Communications at Global Citizen Year. Through strategic marketing, partnerships and PR, the VP of Marketing & Communications will ensure that Global Citizen Year becomes: 1) a household name among America’s emerging leaders, and 2) the national platform to make a global “bridge year” after high school the norm, not the exception in America. The ideal candidate is an entrepreneurial leader, with a track-record building new brands, and driving successful, high-profile communications campaigns.
