Investigation: You’ll use publicly available research databases, documents obtained through public records requests, and a broad range of news sources to identify corruption and other wrongdoing in the Trump administration and state governments and uncover avenues for future research.

Public records requests: You’ll work with the legal team to draft public records requests aimed at uncovering corruption and malfeasance and promoting government transparency.

Analysis: You’ll analyze records that we obtain through public records requests to identify underreported trends and stories.

Writing: You’ll work with the investigations and communications teams to tell the stories we find with blog posts, background documents, and other written products.

Rapid response: You’ll respond to breaking news by doing rapid-response research and drafting public records requests on tight deadlines.
