Corporate Accountability International seeks Senior Researcher
For more than 30 years, Corporate
Accountability International has successfully challenged corporations
like GE, Nestlé, and Philip Morris to halt abusive practices that threaten
public health, the environment and our democracy. Today our campaigns
challenge the dangerous practices of some of the world’s most powerful
industries. Think Outside the Bottle exposes the
truth behind bottled water marketing and defends the human right to
water in the face of increasing corporate control. Value [the] Meal challenges the
fast food industry to stop driving an epidemic of diet-related disease,
and our campaign Challenging Big Tobacco is blocking
industry interference in health policies that protect our kids.

to develop and carry out our campaigns. Our research focuses on documenting
abuses by targeted industries, power mapping corporate targets to inform
