The Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University (the Bronx, NY) has openings for Media Relations Manager and Media Relation Specialist. These jobs do not, however, appear to be especially fresh (Nov. & Dec.) – but who knows?

Those seeking a sunnier climate and the expatriate lifestyle might be interested in Media Relations Specialist, Crisis Communications and Public Relations Consultant positions with Saudi Aramco. read a brief history of Aramco here. I am not 100% certain about the expatriate bit – perhaps there is some possibility these could be US (Texas) based jobs. Educate yourself a bit today and read this history of Aramco.

Public Relations Intern opportunity with new media conglomerate InterActive Corp., in White Plains, NY – where your work will involve media relations, networking and blogging are part of the portfolio for their Mindspark Division for such worthy heavyweight products as: Zwinky™ – Zwinky Cuties – Vimeo – IWON® – Girlsense – Green – Life123 – Excite® – Webfetti™ – My Fun Cards™ – SmileyCentral® – Cursor Mania™ – Popular Screensavers™ and Kazulah. That sounds much more worthwhile and rewarding than some boring old Internship with Amnesty International or something similar with Human Rights Watch, right?
