- Founded in 1970 by Julian Bond and other veterans of the civil rights movement, the Institute is a research, media, and education nonprofit dedicated to exposing injustice, strengthening democracy, and building a community for change in the U.S. South.
- The Institute publishes the online magazine, Facing South, and has earned numerous awards for its media and reporting projects on topics including democracy, demographic change, the shifting political landscape, and racial justice.
- The role calls for an understanding of the dynamic political landscape and demographics in the South, an appreciation for the role played by progressive Southern movements in bringing about change both historically and currently, an understanding of how to leverage media, research, and education to advance social, political, and economic change, and a commitment to practicing the Institute's values of equity and justice, both internally and in its programs.
- Maintain awareness of the external landscape and identify strategic opportunities where the Institute's media, research, and outreach capabilities can be brought to bear across the South and nationally.
- Capacity to develop and support the implementation of research and media-based strategies for progressive change; direct experience in organizing, media, research, or journalism is a plus
