Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility hiring a
Communication Director

Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (www.cpsr.org) seeks
a part-time Communication Director for its San Francisco office. The
Communication Director will be responsible for both the day-to-day
office operations of CPSR and for being the organization's primary
liaison between CPSR members and other organizations, the press, and
the public. On the day-to-day side, the CD will maintain the
organization's financial budget, help organize board meetings and
conferences, and maintain records for writing the CPSR annual
report. In large part, however, the CD will work as an activist on
CPSR's issues, following debates within our space, writing press
releases or blog posts on relevant issues, and working to bring more
members to the organization. The CD will also write the organization's
weekly newsletter. Experience with organizing conferences and
outreach campaigns would be helpful. Applicants must also be
competent with
content management software (we use Plone), and have experience with
online activism (including familiarity with blogging software, wikis,
and e-mail campaigns).

CPSR is a progressive, global organization aimed at helping computer
scientists, engineers and technologists promote the responsible use of
computer technology. Founded in 1981, CPSR educates policymakers and
the public on a wide range of issues, including electronic privacy,
online civil liberties, access to technology in developing nations,
voting technology, and green technology.

The position starts at 24 hours/week and offers bonuses for expanding
our membership and donations.

To apply, send your resume, cover letter, and two writing samples
(these may be blog posts) to jobs@cpsr.org. No calls, please. Deadline
for receipt of applications is August 9.
