Deadline: N/AWashington, DC (901 E)The Government Performance
PortfolioPew's government performance work identifies and advances
effective approaches to help solve complex challenges at all levels
of government in the United States. The portfolio's work can be
traced back to our founders' early efforts to improve the lives of
Americans by supporting efforts that promoted health, civic
engagement, and democratic ideals. Today, we conduct research on
emerging topics, develop data-driven reports, and highlight
innovative, non-partisan approaches in addressing complex problems
at the federal, state, and local levels as well as the interplay
that can occur between jurisdictions. Current initiatives focus on
health, fiscal and economic policy, and safety and justice, and
take into account significant trends such as evolving technologies,
and the increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the United States
population.Our teams explore and advance effective, evidence-based
policies 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. We work in collaboration with organizations
that share our commitment to rigorous research, measurable results,
and public service, and we focus on developing durable policy
change. 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.Broadband Access InitiativePew's broadband access

outreach, technical assistance and advocacy seeks to develop and
highlight state models to improve affordable broadband access;
improve federal and state broadband regulations by establishing
speed goals and technological standards, improving the marketplace
to include non-legacy providers; and informing and shaping new
federal and state appropriations for broadband and improving
accountability.Position OverviewThe associate will provide and
support core activities to help the team's growing operational
needs. Reporting to the associate manager, the associate will
support a range of tasks related to project and contract
management, compliance, event planning, internal communications,
