Now Playing: Indiana Jones & the Center for Urologic History

Indiana Jones: Too bad the Hovitos don't know you the way I do, Belloq.
Belloq: Yes, too bad. You could warn them... if only you spoke Hovitos!

And it looks like you could have a better shot at this Managing Director, Government Relations position with an unknown company somehow involved in off-highway diesel engine products & applications if you possessed a strong knowledge of German. We can’t help Dr. Jones, but we can suggest the top-notch and reasonably-priced German language instruction at the Goethe Institute, kicking off on June 7. Search managed by the intimidating-sounding Malace & Associates.

So, with that – we return with some great public affairs jobs and internships, including a lot of awesome directly-submitted opportunities. HR folks: send us your relevant listings!

Opportunities with the Institute for Inclusive Security/Hunt Alternatives Fund – the Institute uses research, training, and advocacy to promote the inclusion of all stakeholders, particularly women, in peace processes:
High-profile organization, essential work, and life in Austin, TX are all yours (or somebody’s) with LIVESTRONG (aka the Lance Armstrong Foundation) as:

Humana – Government Relations Policy Director – policy research & analysis position

Recently-added opportunities with the American Diabetes Association:

United States Sentencing Commission – Public/Legislative Affairs Assistant – $42k-$67k – job ID: 10-05 – apply by June 14

Is the Virginia Tech HR dept. particularly patient? Or are they taking some kind of blissful six-week vacation? You should ask them about that as you (eventually) interview for the Director, College Communications & Marketing position with a distant July 12 resume review date noted. Blacksburg, Va.

The careers page of Patient First Neighborhood Medical Centers promises that competitive compensation, great benefits, and flexible hours are only the beginning – we imagine the rest involves a bunch of hard work on your part. Community Relations Coordinator – includes significant media relations responsibilities – Baltimore, MD. Can also search here: go to search openings, then to administrative category.

The Philanthropy Roundtable, a national association of individual donors, foundations, donor-advised funds, and other grantmakers, is seeking Director, Economic Opportunity Programs.

We see three admin opportunities referenced here with the Council of Exceptional Children – the voice and vision of special education. We would normally omit the one dated Nov. 2009 – but maybe they’ve just reposted an old listing for a currently-available position. You can do the additional investigative work yourselves:
NCI seeks Public Affairs Specialist/Writer/Reporter to work on Army PEO Soldier team. Secret clearance – active or obtainable – is required.

Maybe we’re a little paranoid (ok, we’re super-paranoid) – but we’re pretty certain that a company with a name like MAXIMUS and a tagline like helping government serve the people is probably working towards imminent citizen enslavement/military takeover – probably with the help of that NCI/PEO Soldier business. Now that we think of it, we should have probably kept our concerns to ourselves. Search Reston location for assorted admin/analyst jobs & internships.

Apollo Education Group (the University of Phoenix people) has lots of jobs nationwide, including this closing-soon trio of San Francisco, CA opportunities:
