Collaborative orientation, including willingness to take on tasks big or small as needed to advance our mission, and ability to work well with people with diverse backgrounds and to manage up, down, and sideways.

Full time
Protect Democracy seeks highly motivated Research Associates who are passionate about protecting and strengthening our democracy by contributing to research products that form the foundation of our advocacy strategies.
Our research products, both qualitative and quantitative and short- and long-form, often seek to introduce ideas to the public discourse that can drive policy change on democracy issues. You can view some of our existing research here . For example, our report Towards Non-Recurrence: Accountability Options for Trump-Era Transgressions (December 2019) helped us introduce ideas into the public discourse about the value of and framework for accountability to prevent future abuses after the Trump era. That work provided the foundation for our advocacy and additional written products to create accountability for the January 6th insurrection. You can find other examples here .
In this role, you will provide foundational research and writing support – under the direction of researchers, policy advocates, and/or attorneys – to advance Protect Democracy’s mission. This is an excellent opportunity for either a recent graduate with research experience, or a more seasoned researcher to expand their skill set, contribute to the research projects that we produce and publish, and make an indelible impact on our mission.

Contribute to, propose ideas for, and write white papers, reports, blog posts, and other research products
Analyze and summarize information for review and publication
Support research project management, including designing project plans, setting timelines, and evaluating project progress and processes
Perform substantive fact-checking
Prepare charts, graphics, and other support materials for publication
Track news and policy developments
Support the team’s engagement with external partners and experts in the field
Present research findings to teammates and communicate clearly for a non-research audience
Perform copy editing and administrative tasks as required
The ideal candidate brings:
Bachelor's degree or Master’s Degree, preferred in political science, public policy, economics, statistics, or a related field
1-5 years of professional work experience and/or postgraduate education
Prior experience leading or supporting complex research projects and ability to synthesize large bodies of knowledge

Ability to navigate academic libraries, databases, and/or journal resources
Creativity in envisioning and proposing potential research projects that advance Protect Democracy’s mission
Exceptional writing, editing and proofreading skills
Strong communication skills, including ability to engage with external partners and experts, as well as non-researcher audiences

This position is located in our Headquarters Office in Lacey, WA. Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station. In 2021, Washington’s Legislature passed the landmark Climate Commitment Act (CCA) – a sweeping piece of legislation that directs Ecology to develop and implement the state’s first Cap-and-Invest Program and commits our state to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050. Officially launched on January 1, 2023, Washington’s program is only the second such economy-wide program in the nation, and the work of implementing this program has only just begun. It’s a big task with even bigger long-term impacts on the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and the global fight against climate change. The Cap-and-Invest Program employs market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. The proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The CCA Implementation Group is already hard at work and looking to hire a diverse range of mission-focused professionals to help us make this important program a success. As the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Verification Section Manager you will play a critical role in the success of the Cap-and-Invest Program. The Emissions Reporting and Verification Section is part of the CCA Implementation Group, and is responsible for receiving, processing, analyzing, and verifying emissions data from reporting entities. As a result, this Section provides the foundation for the whole Cap-and-Invest Program and is therefore central to the State’s efforts to address climate change, decarbonize the economy, and prepare Washington for a leadership role in the green economy of the future. Tele-work options for this position: This position will be eligible to tele-work up to 3 days per week. Applicants with questions about position location options, tele-work, and flexible or compressed schedules are encouraged to reach out to the contact person listed below in “other information.” Schedules are dependent upon position needs and are subject to change.
