TAG Seeks Policy Director

The Treatment Action Group (TAG), a New York-based nonprofit organization focusing on AIDS research and treatment policy, is hiring a policy director. From the announcement:

"The Policy Director will have a broad-based background incorporating an understanding of science, government, and policy, and ideally would have experience managing highly-qualified people working in policy roles. The Policy Director will be the key staff person responsible for setting and implementing and coordinating the overall policy agenda for TAG -- in conjunction with the executive director -- and thus for oversight, facilitation, and supervision of the policy and program work of the agency..."

For years TAG has been one of the most important AIDS treatment advocacy organization. It has been called a "think tank without walls," as it provides computer and communication equipment to staff who work from home offices. It also has a small central office. Staff travel frequently to research and treatment meetings and conferences. Its Web site is http://www.aidsinfonyc.org/tag/.
