We’ve mentioned several of the jobs available here with Greenpeace in recent weeks – but here’s a couple new ones:

Burson-Marsteller is looking for a Senior Level Healthcare PR Specialist in DC with strong pharma experience – but you won’t find it at that link (at least as of Thursday, as we put this together).

A lot of other AED opportunities can be found here.

Nothing new in DC among the jobs available with the Natural Resources Defense Council, but maybe someone is interested in:

• Communications Program Assistant – San Francisco

The Center for Progressive Leadership will accept resumes until Aug. 31 – or until your sparking resume, compelling letter and nailed-it! (yes!) interview takes their External Affairs Manager job off the market.

American Medical Association – they’re not busy these days, right? So their Public Information Officer job is probably a nice, lazy way to pass your afternoons until you join the gang at Donovan House or Bar Pilar.
