The Philadelphia Program
Through the Philadelphia Program, Pew seeks to enhance civic life in its hometown. We partner with many local institutions in encouraging a thriving arts and cultural community, supporting the health and welfare of the region’s most vulnerable residents, informing policy discussions on important issues facing the city, and, more broadly, strengthening Philadelphia’s appeal to visitors and residents alike.
Position Overview
The officer will support Pew’s efforts to help decision makers and influential stakeholders in the Philadelphia region address key policy challenges by providing them with relevant data and research, and bringing to bear national expertise and examples of policy reforms that have been successful in other cities. The project will concentrate its efforts on areas (1) where Pew has built expertise in our local, state, and national projects; (2) that are recognized by influential constituencies in Philadelphia as important and timely; and (3) where research has shown there are effective policies or practices in other states and localities that could inform Philadelphia’s decisions.
This initiative will draw on the research and expertise of Pew’s Philadelphia research initiative, which was established to provide data and impartial analysis on issues critical to the city’s future, and the robust national networks of experts that exist within Pew’s D.C.-based state and local government programs. The core element of the project will be an ongoing series of convenings intended to allow relevant local policymakers and stakeholders to engage in candid dialogue with both subject matter authorities who have conducted extensive study on targeted issues and public officials who have innovated and implemented more effective approaches. Our goal for this project over the next two years is for policymakers to draw on the research and expertise provided by Pew to enact policies, adopt agency practices or make resource allocations in at least two issue areas that will be examined by the project.
The ideal candidate will have a strong policy background combined with the capacity to coordinate both internal and external logistics and be capable of designing, planning, and executing convening sessions. The candidate will be knowledgeable about the local policy and political landscape, and have the proven ability to facilitate policy conversations and discussions of research with key decision makers. In addition, the successful candidate will have the ability to communicate and work effectively with diverse individuals and organizations in the nonprofit, public and private sectors. Finally, the candidate will be able to work with research and policy teams at Pew to synthesize data and existing research and participate in conceiving and drafting original materials for both internal and external consumption.
The officer will report to the project director, Philadelphia Policy. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

Project Description:
In the current fiscal environment, most state and county governments are facing tough budget choices and are lacking the resources needed to support traditional levels of public services. Increasingly, policymakers are seeking those combinations of programs and policies that will yield the greatest benefits in the most cost-effective way. The Pew-MacArthur Results First Initiative (Results First), a project of The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, works with selected governments to implement an innovative approach to evidence-based policymaking that helps them identify and invest in policies and programs that are proven to work.
This work is focused on helping partner state and county governments to inventory their program expenditures and customize a benefit-cost model originally developed by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy; and link this analysis to policy and budget processes so that leaders can use the results to inform their decisions.
Position Overview:
The officer, technical assistance, will provide intensive technical assistance to partner state and county governments in a variety of policy areas, including criminal justice, child welfare, health, mental health, and substance abuse. The officer also will contribute to the design and execution of related technical resources, support the ongoing development of the Results First benefit-cost model, and collaborate closely with internal colleagues and external partners to advance project goals.

Project Overview:
Pew’s broadband research initiative is housed within the research and science unit and led by a project director. The initiative provides research and analysis on broadband deployment and access. Our goals include providing the data and analysis that informs and advances conversations about how to provide reliable, high-speed broadband to communities that lack coverage; and serving as the honest broker between policy, industry, and academic stakeholders.
The initiative produces much-needed data to catalyze the policy discussion on broadband. Expanding broadband access to all corners of the country requires an accurate identification of where expansion is needed, a comprehensive understanding of what solutions work best and under which conditions, and a commitment to achieving this goal.

The Environmental Portfolio at the Pew Charitable Trusts
For the past twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with close to 250 professionals working full-time at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for sound solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
Project Overview:
Pew’s global tuna conservation campaign works to ensure a future for the world’s largest tuna species and the largest tuna fishery. Industrial fishing vessels place more nets and hooks in the water in their search for tunas than in any other fishery in the world. These vessels are also responsible for the incidental catch of massive numbers of sharks, billfish, turtles, seabirds and other marine species caught as collateral damage by these fisheries. Unfortunately, as valuable migratory species that cross national and international boundaries, developing the tools to effectively and sustainably manage tuna fisheries has proven challenging. Pew works to ended or prevented the overfishing of the five major commercially fished tuna species in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, by ensuring precautionary, science-based management of select tuna stocks in the Pacific and Atlantic and working for much-needed reforms for the two major gears used to catch tuna: purse seines with fish aggregating devices and surface longlines.
The global tuna conservation campaign is one of eight projects that fit within Pew’s international ocean conservation program.
Position Overview:
The project director, global tuna conservation is responsible for delivering campaign outcomes across the full campaign portfolio through leadership in the development and implementation of strategies and activities to achieve the agreed project deliverables. The position reports to the director, international fisheries.
The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.
