Think Tank Special

Today, we focus specifically on opportunities at think tanks and other selected NGOs in the Washington, DC area. If you are in the market for similar opportunities outside the Capitol region, this Worldpress.org Think Tank/NGO list would be an excellent place to start.

For any similar organizations I've missed in this edition, please email your opportunities – with links – to the address in my profile, and I'll make sure they are featured in subsequent postings.
