The American Academy of Child Psychiatry seeks a Communications Coordinator here, and an Assistant Director of Development here.

We’ve previously-mentioned the fundraising/development opportunities found with the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, but the Communications Associate and Intern slots are new to us.

More more more from the Brookings Institution – are we going to have to start looking at their site every day to keep on top of these? (because we’re way too lazy to do that):
The Tax Education Initiative, a coalition of progressive tax non-profits and unions, is developing a campaign promoting progressive and fair revenues to adequately fund critical social programs. Your spot on the team: Field Communications Coordinator & Writer.

Leaving San Francisco, but staying on the people-in-lab-coats-looking-into-your-eyes beat, the American Board of Opticianry & National Contact Lens Examiners are looking for an Executive Director (of the visionary sort, we imagine).

SEIU Local 32BJResearch Analyst/Lead Researcher

It’s time for another one of our occasional investigative reports into popular job aggregators and job freshness. This CareerBuilder-found Public Relations Specialist post with the high-profile American Medical Association is right up your alley; and it has a pretty recent Mar. 1 posting date attached. You might also want to take note of the reference number 2682MH shown there. Of course, a smart-job searcher (that’s you!) would also want to go take a look on the AMA careers page, where searching under the DC location turns up a Nov. 2009 listing for a Public Information Officer, with the exact same job ID (2682MH) and job description attached. For all we know, this job could still be fully available – but we’re guessing you would rather have a decent idea about the position's original vintage. And, while we’re at it – kudos to AMA for being one of those good groups that puts a date on their listings. Thanks, Docs – we feel better already.

Kaiser Family Foundation:
Washington Gas Energy Services is looking for two Marketing Coordinators to join them in their spacious modern office suite stocked with many of the comforts of home.

The American Advertising Federation seeks part-time Graphic Designer & Production Coordinator. Part-time position; 1-2 years experience sought, skill-set to include InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver.

Your Monday job search resource - we're shocked that we didn't make the grade with AssociatesDegree.com's 100 Useful Social Sites for Every Kind of Job Seeker - but it's a nice list of assorted job boards and resources, so have at it.
