[ETAN-key] ETAN seeks Part-time Advocacy Coordinator

[John M Miller]

The East Timor and Indonesia Action Network  (ETAN) seeks part-time 
Advocacy Coordinator.

The Advocacy Coordinator will work with ETAN's National Coordinator 
(based in New York) to lead our advocacy work in Washington, DC. We 
seek somebody who understands how the U.S. government works, yet can 
see beyond election cycles and will not be limited by what is 
considered possible. The Advocacy Coordinator can be based anywhere 
on the East Coast but will have to regularly travel to Washington.

A successful candidate will:

-Have significant experience working with Congress and the 
legislative process from a grassroots perspective. Experience working 
with the Administration is also helpful.

-Be able to mobilize grassroots pressure to change government policy.

-Have the initiative and organizational skills needed for a flexible 
position with limited supervision.

-Be able to share some administrative and fundraising duties.

-Have significant experience working on international human rights 
issues (experience with Indonesia and Timor-Leste preferred).

The position will be half-time (averaging 20 hours/week), with a 
salary in the $15,000 range. To apply, please send a cover letter, 
resume and writing sample to jobs at etan.org by December 15, 2008. 
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

ETAN is a U.S.-based grassroots organization working in solidarity 
with the peoples of East Timor and Indonesia. ETAN educates, 
organizes, and advocates for human rights, women's rights, societal 
and economic justice, democracy and genuine self-determination in 
East Timor. ETAN works for justice for historic and ongoing crimes 
against humanity, war crimes, and human rights violations in East 
Timor and Indonesia. Read more at www.etan.org.
