About New Lines Institute
New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy is a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to producing independent, cutting-edge research and policy analysis on geopolitics and U.S. foreign policy. Our work is grounded in a commitment to rigorous, interdisciplinary analysis and to informing policymakers, practitioners, and the public on some of the most pressing international challenges.

Position Overview
New Lines is seeking a part-time Senior Non-Resident Fellow (SNRF) to join its Gender Policy Portfolio (GPP) and lead GPP workstreams. The SNRF will work closely with GPP staff to help shape and extend the portfolio’s research, policy engagement, and external partnerships. This is an ideal role for an experienced practitioner or scholar with an established professional network who has engaged with policymakers throughout their career and who wants to advance gender equality, intersectional and gender analysis, and human rights. The SNRF will be expected to lead a small, collaborative team, and will be expected to take initiative, manage their own workload, and contribute meaningfully with limited day-to-day supervision.

Required Qualifications:
  • Ten or more years of professional experience in a relevant field, such as gender studies, human rights, foreign policy, national security, or related policy work.
  • Demonstrated subject-matter expertise in gender equality, the Women, Peace and Security agenda, gender and intersectional analysis of international relations, or closely related issues.
  • An established network of contacts among policymakers, government officials, civil society, academia, and/or international organizations.
  • Experience briefing or engaging with senior policymakers, including Congress and the executive branch, and/or foreign governments.
  • Experience engaging with media including interviews.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex legal and policy issues for diverse audiences.
  • Experience commissioning, managing, or editing research and policy products is strongly preferred.
  • A proven track record of taking initiative, exercising sound judgment, and working independently, as well as collaborating effectively within a small team.
  • Ability to commit 20 hours per week for the full 12-month term.
  • Advanced degree (e.g. MA, PhD) in gender, human rights, international relations, public policy, or a related field is preferred.
