Open Society Foundations
Program Officer
Community Health and Criminal Justice - Public Health Program
Apply by June 11, 2015T

The Public Health Program (PHP) aims to build societies committed to inclusion, human rights, and justice, in which health-related laws, policies, and practices are evidence-based and reflect these values. The program works to advance the health and human rights of marginalized people by building the capacity of civil society leaders and organizations, and by advocating for greater accountability and transparency in health policy and practice.

The Community Health and Criminal Justice Division works to promote health and human rights and to minimize violence, service restrictions, coercive treatment and other harms related to criminalization and pathologization. We work to reform laws and law enforcement practice; to increase access to justice and to health services; and to support community-based networks and programs. We prioritize approaches that meaningfully engage sex workers, people who use drugs and their allies, and that do not make abstinence, exit, or mandatory “rehabilitation” a precondition for support. More information on PHP’s work on harm reduction and drugs can be found here. More information on PHP’s work on sex worker health and rights can be found here.

Open Society Foundations
The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant societies whose governments are accountable and open to criticism, whose laws and policies are open to debate and correction, and whose political institutions are open to the participation of all people. We seek to strengthen justice and the rule of law; broaden respect for human rights, including the rights of minorities; encourage pluralism and a robust diversity of opinion; deepen democratic practice and participation; expand economic equity; support effective governance; and invest in individuals, public and private organizations, and social movements that advance these goals.
We are a global network of foundations committed to local knowledge and national expertise. Our network includes national foundations, regional foundations, and other geographic programs operating in more than one hundred countries. At the same time, many programs with global reach operate from our four headquarters in Europe and the United States, including programs on digital information, drug policy, criminal and civil justice, education, fellowships, fiscal governance, human rights, international migration, public health, scholarships, think tanks, and women’s rights. In addition to making grants to organizations and individuals, the Open Society Foundations engage in policy advocacy, legal advocacy and litigation, program-related investing, and public communications, as well as provide direct assistance to governments. Most programs and foundations in the network are governed or advised by their own boards. The Open Society Foundations are the global philanthropies of George Soros, who, as chairman, plays an active role in the work of the foundations.

PHP seeks a full-time program officer on policing and law reform in its New York office. The program officer will work in collaboration with other PHP staff, as well as the staff of the OSF network.

The Program Officer works as part of a team of using grant making, technical assistance and advocacy to increase the responsiveness of state systems to the needs of criminalized groups, increase the capacity and involvement of community-based organizations in the national or local response, and engage international mechanisms to meaningfully support change within countries. While working with the Community Health and Criminal Justice Division of the Public Health Program the PO will work with the staff of relevant OSF programs and national/regional foundations.

Professor Feeley Seeks Research Assistant

June 2nd, 2015 in GH Announcements, Jobs

I have just reconnected with a Russian colleague and we have agreed to write a paper comparing approaches to improving the availability of quality primary care in the US and Russia.  I need a student to help me with a literature review on US efforts, including aspects of the Affordable Care Act designed to increase the supply of primary care physicians or make them more effective  (Medical Homes, payments for patient management, etc).  In addition, we will need to assemble some date on the historical trends in the US physician workforce.

Alas, no grant to support this, so I cannot pay, but it should be an interesting change to look at the US health care system and compare it to Russia.

Please contact me at ffeeley@bu.edu if you are interested.  Attach a copy of your CV.
