We’re confused. If this anonymous New York-based concern is really looking to hire the BEST Copywriter IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, shouldn’t they be offering more than a contract-status opportunity? Search managed by Onward Search.

American Hospital Association:
Thompson Reuters has a spot open for a Senior Politics & Economic Policy Correspondent (search job ID NEW00001737 or DC location) – multiple research-oriented positions also recently posted (again, search ID or DC location):

Latest with Conservation International:
Again, we’re confused – this time, it’s the Association for International Practical Training that’s knotting our brain stems. On their about AIPT page, we read that in 1948, two men and the Board of Trustees at MIT sought ways in which the institute could join the international cooperative undertaking to rebuild war-torn Europe. One of them is probably the distinguished fellow pictured at that link (and at left). But which one? Why don't they name either founder there? Why only a picture of one founder? Are collar pins like his going to come back in fashion? Please let us know if you’re hired on as Program Specialist (6-month term, $10-$12/hr) or, even better compensation-wise, as Communications & Marketing Intern, pulling in $12-$15/hr.

The Faith & Politics Institute, a nonpartisan interfaith organization providing much-needed occasions for moral reflection and spiritual community to political leaders since 1991, seeks a new President (pdf) with relevant leadership experience and keen political instinct.

Refine core messages, write lots of copy, manage online/web assets, handle meeting related PR, and much, much more as Associate Director, Public Relations for the Society of Nuclear Medicine. 6–10 years PR experience required.

Our British Embassy pals seek part-time, job-sharing Recruiter to join their HR team. Apply by Oct. 1 and maybe you’ll get to sort through their Spring 2011 Intern applications, which are due in by Oct. 29.

Humane Society – Mobile Communications Manager – low-to-high $40k – several other relevant jobs/internships available
