    • Gather, synthesize, and edit research findings and technical data.
    • Assemble committees of experts from inside and outside the Academy's membership and provide guidance and support to those committees and advisory groups in the conduct of their work.
  • Develop agendas and multimedia presentations for committee meetings and project workshops and draft meeting summaries.
  • Design and organize outreach activities to communicate the findings and recommendations from Academy studies to external audiences.
  • Draft and edit grant proposals and progress reports.
  • Work with Academy program staff to identify professional development opportunities that will advance the candidate's knowledge of non-profit management and social policy.
  • Help expand the profile of the Academy and its audiences within the academic and policy communities.
  • Assist in the development and implementation of member engagement initiatives as requested.
  • Assist with executive briefings and remarks.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

  • Excellent written and oral communications skills, including an ability to synthesize and summarize research findings and recommendations to a variety of audiences;
  • Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational and meeting-management skills.
  • Ability to display initiative and follow-through skills
  • Ability to work well in a highly collaborative team structure
  • Ability to comfortably and professionally interface with a wide range of constituents, including Academy members, staff, and the public at large.
  • Ability to learn quickly, prioritize tasks, and work accurately under pressure.
  • Ability to creatively problem-solve and be flexible to work in a changing environment.

Fellowship Eligibility:

  • Applicants must have a Ph.D. in an area of the humanities or humanistic social sciences related to American democracy, justice, history, political culture, public policy or political economy and have some experience or a demonstrated interest in an area related to public policy. The Ph.D. must be conferred prior to starting the position.
  • Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States without Academy sponsorship.

Terms: The appointment is for a two-year term, starting July-September of 2024 and continuing through June – August of 2026.
