  • Director Position Open at The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government
    11-02-2009 - Kelly M. Hanlon

    The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government (the “Institute”) is the public policy “think tank” of the State University of New York (SUNY) located at the University of Albany.  Based in Albany, NY, the Institute is a prime locus of reliable information, thoughtful analysis, and wise debate about the role of government both within New York State and across the nation.  The Institute researches and publishes on a wide and ever-evolving range of public policy topics including:  state fiscal issues, education, federalism, local government, intergovernmental relations, urban issues, health care reform, social welfare policies, and faith-based solutions to social issues.


    The Institute is conducting a search for a new Director.  This individual will be responsible for the management, administration, fiscal health, and the long-term success and prominence of the organization.  S/he is responsible for providing both day-to-day and strategic leadership for the organization and identifying and cultivating new partnerships and funding opportunities.  



    The Director will also be appointed by the Board of Trustees to concurrently serve as Senior Advisor to the Chancellor. This will enable the Director to play a major role in advising on University-wide matters and to allow the Institute to bring its expertise to bear at the Chancellor's request on national and international public policy issues to which the institute’s work is germane.



    The successful candidate will have established credibility in the public policy, academic, and government arenas. S/he should have a PhD and a minimum of 12 years experience in a related position at a university, a think tank/research institute, state or federal government, on Capitol Hill, or a combination thereof.  This individual should also have extensive experience in managing research and public affairs studies, related publicity, and outreach activities.
