Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural 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 wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable 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. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems.   Flood-Prepared Communities Pew’s flood-prepared communities initiative works to reduce the impact weather-related catastrophes, such as flood and hurricanes, have on the U.S. economy, communities, and environment through four main policy areas: - Reforming of the National Flood Insurance Program; - Increased investment in mitigation programs and planning to help communities prepare for future floods; - Improved resiliency and durability requirements for new and rebuilt infrastructure in flood-prone areas; and - Promote nature-based solutions like open green space, marshes and mangroves to better protect property and the environment. Position Overview The senior manager is responsible for developing and executing an outreach strategy across ten states to adopt state-wide plans and frameworks that reduce unsustainable development in high risk areas. These plans should incentivize nature-based solutions, and are intended to improve floodplain management along significant portions of the nation’s rivers and coastlines. The senior manager develops relationships with governors, staff policy staff, planners, and mitigation specialists and oversees technical assistance to state planners in the development of state-wide plans. This position works closely with the state campaigns team, research, and government relations support divisions. It is supported by two direct reports, an officer and senior associate, as well as external consultants. This position, at times, works with external stakeholders, and is responsible for representing Pew with external audiences such as media and conferences.

Today, we conduct research on emerging topics, develop data-driven reports, and highlight innovative approaches in addressing complex problems at the federal, state, and local levels. Current initiatives focus on health and human services, government management and budget, family economic stability, and safety and justice. Our teams explore and advance effective policy reforms using credible, timely, and accessible research, assessing public support for change, identifying approaches that have proved successful elsewhere, and bringing together diverse perspectives to find common ground. In addition, our teams use strategic outreach and dissemination to ensure that good information is widely communicated to decision-makers, media, influential stakeholders, and the public. Strengthening Public Sector Retirement Systems Public pension reform is one of the most significant fiscal challenges facing states and municipalities today. In fact, our research shows that as of 2016, state governments had pension debts totaling $1.4 trillion. Although some plans are well-funded, in other places, if changes are not made, retirees, workers, and taxpayers will be left with rising costs and unpaid promises for years to come. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Every state and municipality has a unique set of policy preferences and budgetary challenges. Given the high stakes for states’ budgets and workers, policymakers need trusted information and guidance to help them consider possible options, understand what is known about each, then make decisions based on the best available information. This project will work with states to examine their challenges and help policymakers consider data-driven policies that result in sustainable retirement systems while maintaining states’ ability to recruit and retain skilled workers. Specifically, the project will:  - Provide highly credible, independent, and nonpartisan research, including 50-state reports, to help answer critical questions about which policy actions are most effective at controlling costs, meeting states’ policy goals, and providing workers with retirement security; - Provide selected states with customized technical assistance informed by tailored research; and - Engage influential stakeholders to build the support necessary to enact reform. Position Overview The associate I will perform data analysis and policy research related to state and local public pension plans, while supporting the entire spectrum of activity under the project. The ideal candidate has an educational and employment background in public policy or related field with experience synthesizing data and research to produce effective and clear written materials useful to policymakers and/or the public.  The position, based in Pew’s Washington, D.C., office, reports to the manager, research, strengthening public sector retirement systems. 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.

The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts For more than 25 years, Pew has been a major force in engaging 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 more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural 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 wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable 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. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems. Outback to Oceans Australia Australia is one of only five areas of the world with very large remaining wilderness areas, but much of the Outback faces emerging threats from lack of active land management and poorly controlled industrial activity. Since 2007, the Outback to oceans program has worked to secure the long-term protection of some of the world’s most spectacular natural areas on both land and sea. Pew in general, and the Australian team in particular, has a focus on achieving huge, measurable conservation outcomes. In its 12 years of operation, the Outback to oceans program has led or co-led the creation of Australia’s first network of federal marine parks, the creation of the Great Kimberley Marine Park, obtained Australia’s largest single commitment to new national parks in Western Australia, driven the delivery of over $1 billion in funding for Indigenous land management, opened up Western Australia’s pastoral zone to carbon farming, and obtained numerous smaller on-ground outcomes. The Australian team is highly motivated and cohesive, and has built a powerful network of influence both federally, and in all the Outback states. Position Overview The director, Outback to oceans and head of Australia offices is responsible for the oversight and delivery of the program’s board approved objectives, as well as management of Pew staff, program-related contractors, financial planning and reporting. The director builds and deepens relationships with a broad cross-section of stakeholders, conservation organizations, industry, aboriginal groups, land holders, and government officials. The position performs outreach and public communication efforts to support conservation. The director works with portfolio leadership to assess program progress and design new initiatives that produce measurable and meaningful results.   The director reports to the senior director, lands conservation, with interim reporting to the vice president, environment, both located in Pew’s Washington, D.C. office. The position could be located in either Pew’s Brisbane or Perth office.

It spans all of Pew’s programmatic work with a focus on advancing quality research and science and deploying research expertise to further the goals of ongoing projects. The portfolio reviews the design of new research projects across the institution to ensure they are high-quality, unbiased, and methodologically sound. The programmatic elements of the portfolio include specific projects related to biomedical science, environmental science, and fiscal federalism. In addition, research and science has a role in communicating timely, accurate information on state issues to the general public as the Pew daily news publication, Stateline, is part of our organization. Research Review and Support OverviewResearch review and support (RRS) facilitates the research process across all Pew programs and projects. Staff help ensure the integrity and quality of all research outputs, including reports, surveys and polls, literature reviews, and data collection and analysis. This work involves taking a research concept from initial hypothesis and proposal through post-analysis data checks, fact checking, and peer review. RRS advises project teams on the best methodological or analytical approaches, datasets and, if appropriate, external vendors to achieve desired outcomes. RRS staff also provides direct research assistance, most commonly data collection and literature reviews, as required. Finally, RRS fosters a Pew research community that leverages and builds staff expertise, tools and capacity across project teams and on a wide range of topics and disciplines. On behalf of projects, RRS coordinates with other Pew divisions and departments involved in the research process. The aim is to help ensure excellent, unimpeachable research outputs that significantly impact major policy changes at the federal, state, local, and international levels. Position OverviewThe senior manager is the chief survey research expert at the Pew Charitable Trusts and manages review and support of all surveys that the Trusts puts in the public domain.
