Support Our Work

Founded in 1999, CSGS was the first—and remains one of the few—U.S. centers with a dedicated focus on both gender and sexuality. For over 25 years, we have been a vibrant hub for feminist and queer scholars, artists, and activists in New York City and beyond. Your support helps sustain these vital programs and fosters a lively, inclusive space for dialogue, learning, and social impact.

Resources & Opportunities

These opportunities and resources are mainly New York City based that are regualrly updated. The following listings and other opportunities are provided for your information only. The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality does not endorse any of them.

Brave New Films — Development Director

Brave New Films is seeking an experienced, fearless, and relationship-driven Development Director who is passionate about political impact and ready to help fuel meaningful change - and is an extrovert who thrives on human connections! This role is not for the faint of heart — nor for those who are risk-averse. We are a small but mighty team of full-time staff and freelancers: intensely political, deeply creative, and unapologetic in taking on powerful systems and adversaries. If you thrive on building relationships, opening doors, and mobilizing resources to fight the good fight — we want to hear from you.

Museum of the City of New York — Administrative & Projects Coordinator

The Administrative & Projects Coordinator (Temporary) provides high-level administrative, scheduling, and project management support to the Chief Curator & Deputy Director, who oversees Curatorial, Education & Public Programs, and Collections. During a period of transition, this role ensures continuity, coordination, and operational efficiency across multiple departments while assuming select responsibilities traditionally held within Curatorial Projects. This position supports complex, cross-departmental initiatives, including exhibitions and related programs, while helping manage priorities, calendars, and workflows across senior leadership. The role is ideal for a seasoned administrative professional with strong project management skills who is comfortable operating beyond a single department, navigating senior-level stakeholders, and supporting institution-wide initiatives in a museum environment. Exhibition project management experience is highly desirable. This is a full-time, temporary, position that reports directly to the Chief Curator & Deputy Director and is expected to run from April 2, 2026 through October 2, 2026.

NYU Gallatin Urban Democracy Lab — Doctoral Fellowship in Urban Practice

The Urban Democracy Lab (UDL) at NYU Gallatin provides an outstanding opportunity for emerging scholars to participate in innovative community-engaged, practice-based research projects, develop and teach their own seminars, and expand their perspective beyond the university. The program is intended to help prepare the next generation of scholars who will bridge the divide between disciplines, between practice and scholarship, and between universities and community stakeholders. The Doctoral Fellowship in Urban Practice is offered through the generous support of NYU Gallatin donors.
