And on to the job opening:

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.  

The Senior Researcher will assist in providing the information necessary 
to develop and carry out our campaigns. Our research focuses on 
documenting abuses by targeted industries, power mapping corporate 
targets to inform campaign strategies and tactics, and supporting the 
development of policies and international regulatory instruments to 
control transnational corporate behavior. The Senior Researcher is 
responsible for gathering, analyzing and presenting information relevant 
to Corporate Accountability International's campaigns and purpose; 
fact-checking organizing and fundraising materials; and cultivating
