Who We Are:

- Conduct legal and legislative research, reporting on human rights violations around the world.
- In partnership with HRRC’s Advocacy Coordinator(s) and management team, track legislation on a variety of core human rights issues and develop strategies for promoting awareness and creating change.
- Write and publicize in-depth analytical research reports, briefing papers, letters, news releases, op-eds, and/or submissions.
- Exceptional candidates will have an advanced degree in law and previous paid or unpaid experience conducting legal research in human rights, as well as experience with research methods.
- Fluency in languages other than English is an asset.
