The Institute for Global Affairs (IGA), a nonprofit organization led by board president Ian Bremmer and board chair Zachary Karabell, seeks a full-time senior research associate in our New York, NY office. This position will be focused on strengthening IGA’s research and advocacy.
SUMMARY
This individual will conduct original, thought-provoking research; contribute to public-facing multimedia content; and educate the public on critical foreign affairs issues. The senior research associate will receive support – and be expected – to develop a public platform for policy analysis (and argumentation) which supports the mission of IGA and the goals of its Independent America (IA) program.
Effectively contributing to and communicating IGA’s programming to various audiences, including policymakers, potential donors, and the public, the senior research associate will have strong writing and research skills and the ability to convey complex analysis with clarity and concision. The position is ideally suited to either (1) a national security or foreign policy journalist or producer with a track record of high-impact reporting who wants to dive deeper on specific topics and/or develop an analytic point of view and public voice, or (2) a postdoc or recent master’s degree recipient with a policy-relevant area of expertise and both the ability and willingness to transition into publicly engaged, mediagenic work.
The successful candidate will have a broad curiosity about, and experience observing, US foreign policy with a particular commitment to help make foreign policy debates accessible, and to challenge conventional wisdom. The candidate will need the maturity to juggle multiple projects simultaneously, and technical proficiency to quickly learn and use a variety of software and cloud-based programs.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The senior research associate will be a critical ambassador for IGA in general and for the Independent America (IA) project in particular.
Research
The senior research associate will support the IA research agenda and IGA’s broader public education mission, reporting to senior fellow Mark Hannah. A successful candidate will have a knack for being able to interpret research results and distill complex ideas to make them relevant and engaging for a broad audience. Specific responsibilities include:
Editorial
