Dreamliners & Dynamos

Progressive think tank Third Way seeks resumes for Administrative Coordinator by July 6. At least three years of accounting and admin experience desired.

The Charles G. Koch Foundation notes program-related positions available on their careers page – as well as a Senior Development Officer position that we first found in February (perhaps they are recruiting more than one, or are always looking for development/fundraising talent):
You’ve got your work cut out for you this weekend if you want to be Director, Legislative Affairs for the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (Treasury Dept.) – you must apply by Sunday, June 28. $102k-$133k – job ID 09-SIGTAR-045DH. We suspect you’ll really have your work cut out for you if you actually get the job, too.

By our (semi-accurate at best) count, we’ve featured a couple dozen opportunities with the Brookings Institution, going back to when we were about ten days old. Here’s the latest: Assistant to the VP/Director of the Economic Studies Program. Apply by June 12.

OK – it hasn't exactly been a great couple of weeks for the Republican Party in the spousal behavior deparment. Prospects may looking up, however, for a few of you young GOP types – the College Republican National Committee has put out the call for five or six Interns for the DC office this fall.

The Dreamliner-developing folks from Boeing are looking for a senior-level Government Relations Specialist for a wide range of advocacy and relationship building activities. Apply by July 7 (7/07 - a possible allusion/homage to the legendary Boeing 707?).* Can also search here, using req number 09-1009699. They’re also looking for a less-senior GR Specialist (09-1009566), and want those resumes by July 1.

The latest opportunities with the Human Rights Campaign Fund:
Khalilzad Associates is seeking to hire a Senior Consultant with 5-10 years of experience in preparing strategies to attract foreign direct investment in developing countries.

Fresh from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change: this opportunity for a Congressional Affairs Fellow. Their call for an Energy Efficiency Communications Associate appears about three weeks older.

Several chances for the presumably-bright crew at the Society for Neuroscience to get inside your head – or at least view your resume:
If you possess extensive knowledge of the health care field, with experience in management, research, public and government affairs – and a desire to relocate to Harrisburg, PA – then the Executive Director position with the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council would be just your thing. Applications due by June 24.

The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington is not content with just plain competent and experienced candidates; instead looking to hire a creative dynamo/go-getter for their Israel & International Affairs Associate position. Which is fine, since we are certain the DCPA+CJ readership is a dynamo-rich cohort.

For your far-flung Friday special opportunity: HBO Corporate Affairs Associate (search req # 112941BR or Corp Comm-Corp Affairs-Govt Affairs category) with Time Warner in San Francisco. Primary duty is to promote HBO/Cinemax programming nationwide through media events including screenings, talent appearances, and community outreach.

San Francisco not far-flung enough for your tastes? How about heading over to EU-land, as Executive Director, Brussels Office for the US Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber is looking for candidates with 10+ years’ experience with international business and trade issues, particularly in Europe and familiarity with EU institutions and officials. Mid-to-upper $100k salary range.

Busy days ahead for the HR department at the Defenders of Wildlife we imagine. In addition a couple of maybe-still-active opportunities we first found in early May, they also show these openings:
There’s probably a lot of great things about the Research Program Coordinator opportunity with the Johns Hopkins/Center for Injury Research and Policy in Baltimore. But we’re going to focus on a possible negative: they seem more than a little bit fixated on making sure your shots and immunizations are all in good order. $13-$18/hr.

The better-world-builders at CHF International tout a few spots open on the team:
We have it on good authority (well, we saw something on Twitter) that the American Geophysical Union is still actively seeking candidates for this attractive Director of Communications and Outreach job that we first noticed in early May. Staffing Advisors leads the hunt.

To enter through this company’s door, answer thou these questions four:
  • Am I a detail-oriented self-starter?
  • Do I enjoy teamwork?
  • Am I a critical thinker who possesses the analytical skills to evaluate diverse advertising creative against specific industry and client standards?
  • Am I known for my organizational skills and positive attitude?
The company in question: WMC Global. The job: Media Analyst.

Democracy International is looking for short-term Program Staff with experience in program/admin work for international development or democracy promotion organizations. Experience with election-related projects a strong plus.

Agency for International Development – Administrative Assistant – Office of the Inspector General – $41k-$59k – job ID 09-21PG – apply by July 2.

Friday's job search toolbox brings you the job listings page from the Washington Network Group.

* Don't mention this 7/07 - 707 bit in your interview; they'll think you're nuts.
