Citizens for Global Solutions is seeking to appoint an Edward Rawson Government Relations Fellow to work out of its headquarters in Washington, D.C.

This is an entry-level fellowship with a stipend. The successful candidate will have a bachelor's degree and a demonstrated interest in international issues, politics, and nonprofit organizations. We are looking for candidates who possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, the ability to work collaboratively, experience working with nonprofits or lawmakers as a volunteer or intern, the independence to take on and complete projects, and enthusiasm for our organization's goals.

The Rawson Government Relations Fellow will work with senior management in executing political and government relations strategies for the organization. We are prepared to train an entry-level candidate and are looking for someone who is willing and interested to learn about framing policy issues, promoting legislative positions, and developing support for policy initiatives in Washington. We expect that the Rawson Government Relations Fellow will immediately work on maintaining relationships with Congressional members and staff, coordinating our on-going information programs, coordinating our legislative activities with other nonprofit organizations and other actors, and promoting our policy positions on our website and in social networking environments. The Rawson Government Relations Fellow will support the organization's Political Action Committee, conduct legislative research for the Global Solutions Congressional Report Card, and also help support our work with collaborative groups, such as the Washington Working Group on the International Criminal Court and the Partnership for Effective Peacekeeping.

The Edward Rawson Fellowship Program was established in honor of Edward Rawson, one of our founding members and one of our most consistent and dedicated supporters. The appointment is for six (6) months beginning July 1, 2009, and the Fellow receives a stipend of $2,083 per month.
