Officer, State Policy, Safer Chemicals Project

Officer, State Policy, Safer Chemicals Project     Please include both a resume and a cover letter with your application.     Safer Chemicals Project   Pew’s Safer Chemicals Project aims to measurably reduce Americans’ exposure to harmful endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The project focuses on reducing exposure to the most harmful EDCs in use in the near-term, while laying the foundation for longer-term policy reform to prevent additional harmful EDCs from being introduced. The Safer Chemicals Project is a collaboration between Pew’s Environment and Government Performance portfolios.     The Environment Portfolio focuses on science-based, nonpartisan, and sustainable solutions to help protect the planet and people. We work in partnership with governments, Indigenous rights holders, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, local stakeholders, scientists, and other researchers to advance public policy so that nature and communities can thrive.     The Government Performance portfolio provides the nonpartisan research, solutions, and momentum decisionmakers need to ensure our institutions improve the health of people in the United States and enable them to successfully climb the economic ladder. Those goals are pursued through a wide range of the portfolio’s policy-focused projects (with explorations into new areas underway)—from ensuring states’ finances are prepared for future volatility, to unlocking gateways to mental health care, to addressing the nation’s lack of attainable housing.     Position Overview   The Officer, State Policy, Safer Chemicals Project, helps to advance the project’s efforts to reduce Americans’ exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals through state action, such as the adoption and effective implementation of state policies, rules, and regulations.     Reporting to the Senior Manager, the Officer helps to design and execute strategies to advance the project’s goals, including influencing state rules and requirements around endocrine disrupting chemicals and enabling state and local agencies to more effectively use research to protect public health and improve state health outcomes.
