TAG Seeks Policy Director

The Treatment Action Group (TAG), a New York-based nonprofit organization focusing on AIDS research and treatment policy, is hiring a policy director.

From the announcement:

"The Policy Director will have a broad-based background incorporating an understanding of science, government, and policy, and ideally would have experience managing highly-qualified people working in policy roles. The Policy Director will be the key staff person responsible for setting and implementing and coordinating the overall policy agenda for TAG -- in conjunction with the executive director -- and thus for oversight, facilitation, and supervision of the policy and program work of the agency . . ."

For years TAG has been one of the most important AIDS treatment advocacy organizations. It has been called a "think tank without walls," as it provides computer and communication equipment to staff who work from home offices. It also has a small central office. Staff travel frequently to research and treatment meetings and conferences. Its Web site is http://www.treatmentactiongroup.org.

"Interested candidates should send a letter expressing their qualifications and interest in the position with a resume/CV and three references with contact information by 31 May 2001 to: Policy Director Search, c/o Regina Gillis, Treatment Action Group, 350 Seventh Ave., Suite 1603, New York, NY 10001, phone 212-971-9022, fax 212-971-9019, email tagnyc@msn.com.
