Please note: This is a general posting intended to build a pipeline of interested candidates for when a job opening arises. Candidates are not necessarily applying for a currently open position. When a position opens, selected candidates who meet the criteria will be contacted. Due to the volume of interest, we are unable to respond to specific inquiries from candidates about the status of their application. We strive to maintain a fair, equitable hiring process for all.

Candidates with master's degrees may apply with the understanding they will accept an entry-level role that includes administrative responsibilities. CGD provides Research Assistants and Program Coordinators an opportunity for a promotion to associate after two years in the role.

-----
Our organization has adopted a hybrid work schedule, where staff are expected to work in the office 2-3 days per week, with the option to work remotely the remainder of the week. Candidates who choose to work remotely should be comfortable working productively in a remote environment. Flexibility to adapt to shifting priorities and tasks will be key. CGD is registered to employ staff living in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. Candidates who reside outside of the area cannot be considered at this time.
In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification document upon hire. CGD is unable to sponsor work authorization for this position.
