Aquariums, Zoos, Parks & Jobs

Episcopal Community Services of Maryland is seeking a Project Coordinator to be responsible for a wide range of program and outreach activities related to the Jericho Program. Baltimore location.

U.S. News & World Report is seeking a Manager of Business Development to shape and develop business strategy for their U.S. News Weekly digital magazine, the news/politics/opinion channel of USNews.com.

Staying on the media beat: The Hill has openings for Reporter and Blogger/Blog Editor types.

How about a Program Analyst post with the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Stability? $102k-$133k – job ID 09-DO-503FXP. You have until July 20 to decide. Or, if this lesser-paying ($73k-$113k) version of the job is more to your skill set, you can take until July 31 to get your act, and application, together – job ID 09-DO-557FXP.

This is probably a challenging, rewarding, exciting and worthwhile job opportunity – but mainly, we just think it sounds fun: Program Assistant, Communications for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Bonus coverage: check out AZA’s nationwide registry of zoo and aquarium jobs.

And, in a similar vein – there’s certainly a lot to like about this Communications Manager position with the National Recreation & Park Association, including a $47-$53k salary and a pretty excellent sounding (and fast-vesting) benefit package. And yes, they also bring you parks and recreation job opportunities from around the country, as well.

Currently noted DC-based opportunities with the hip and high-profile One Campaign:
Ketchum PR seeks Interns for the DC office this Fall – get your resumes in by July 24.

The National Interest seeks a Editor/production staffer for magazine layout/design, copyediting, research and printing/production supervision. Significant knowledge of international affairs and foreign policy, with a leaning toward the realist school of thought, is desired.

The Women’s Media Foundation is seeking a highly committed, hands-on Executive Director to provide strategic leadership for the group. BSBSearch is leading the hunt.

It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on what’s available with the National Governor’s Association. Search here if direct links act sketchy (like governors themselves, of late):
We have no idea if the US Global Leadership Coalition is a major player in the foreign affairs space, and with some pool time and British Open viewing ahead of us this afternoon, we’re not going to take the time to find out. But, it surely sounds important enough based on the name alone, so you would probably enjoy passing out the business card that identifies you as Director of Government Relations for such a group.

BIPAC stresses the need to immediately hire a Manager, PAC Services. Qualified candidates will have 1-2 years experience in PAC management.

The surely-cheerful crew at the Marijuana Policy Project have a Membership Assistant internship opportunity that pays $9/hr. We’re not going to speculate on other benefits possibly offered. Fall Intern slots of the unpaid variety also available.

The career-placement folks at American University have been helpful in promoting our little enterprise; the least we can do is help publicize their search for an Assistant/Associate Professor, Public Administration & Policy. This is a full-time, tenure-line faculty position.

Wish you had joined the Peace Corps instead of trudging off to law school? You get a second chance – sort of – if you’re picked as Associate General Counsel of the Peace Corps. And, let’s be serious here – the $97k-$153k salary sure beats sleeping in a hut somewhere in Micronesia, right?* Job ID DPC9-A0110-JP, apply by Aug. 5.

No law degree, but still have Peace Corps dreams? You could also join the Corps as Regional Manager for their Chicago, IL outpost, responsible for all volunteer recruitment and nominations in that area. $80k-$129k – job ID DPC9-A0099-AJ – apply by July 21.

Small non-profit involved in women’s and international affairs seeks hard-working Associate Director with eye on big picture and attention to detail. Spanish and/or French language skills a must. $40k, but no health benefits.

American Express
is looking for a Senior Executive Assistant for their DC government affairs operation. Capitol Hill and PAC experience a plus.

And, to cap off your job-seek week, we bring you the career center of the American Association of Grant Professionals.

* actually, sleeping in a hut in Micronesia sounds like a blast.

Healthy Choice

It's just a coincidence (really) that today's edition includes several excellent healthcare-related public affairs, advocacy and communications jobs as this 1,018-page opening salvo in the healthcare reform campaign rolls off printers around town.

Gilead Sciences
, developers of innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical needs, would like to fill three openings for DC-, Los Angeles- and New York-based Regional Lead, Government Affairs (search using keywords regional lead or use req ID as follows: DC 2929, LA 2925, NY 2926).

Gibraltar Associates has updated their Research Associate job description that we first mentioned here, looking for a mid-level research and issues management associate with direct experience in the domestic HIV/AIDS space. The ideal candidate will have strong research (non-medical) or grassroots background, an awareness of healthcare policy trends, especially related to domestic HIV/AIDS policy, plus strong written/oral communications skills.

The American Public Health Association is looking for a Policy Associate to be responsible for communication and outreach activities to promote APHA's environmental public health policy among public health workers, policymakers, and the public. Public health experience, communication & research skills, plus familiarity with social media tools, social networking and online communications desired.

We imagine things have been just a little busy of late at the National Iranian American Council – perhaps explaining why they’ve extended the Fall Intern (scroll down) application deadline to Aug 1. Also available:
Child Trends is a nonpartisan research center that studies children at all stages of development, providing research, data, and analysis to the people and institutions whose decisions and actions affect children. Multiple research scientist, analyst, assistant and intern opportunities available.

For the train enthusiast and/or government relations pro looking to relocate to La Grange, IL, we bring you this newly-created Director, Government & Industry Relations position with Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Heck, you’ll probably be back in DC half the time, anyways. Can also search here if link derails.

Edelman PR has a fresh call out for a Digital Public Affairs Senior Account Exec (search DC location or job req 004348); they also have a late-May call for less-senior Digital Account Exec (004348) listed as well. Several relevant opportunities in the New York office, FWIW.

New opportunities with the Association of American Medical Colleges:
Recent grads or current students – look at today's listings, and ask yourselves this question: Would a Health Policy Internship with the Congressional Budget Office look good on the resume and assist your entry into in the robust healthcare advocacy field? (answer below*). $12-$26/hr – job ID 09-49 – apply by Aug. 29.

The National Association of Secondary School Principals seeks a Web Editor to serve as gatekeeper and content guru for the NASSP Web sites. Three to five years’ experience in a web content development environment, and knowledge of HTML, XML/RSS and other web 2.0 technologies put you in the running for this $45k-$50k opportunity.

Three vacancies at the Dept. of Housing & Urban Development await your sharp and standout resumes: specifically, for Office Assistants in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations. $33k-$53k, job ID H09-DE-268559-DKz – apply by July 27.

Today’s job search resource: research and public policy opportunities via the freedom-loving folks at the Liberty Guide, a project of the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University.

We welcome any relevant additions or corrections. Please check back later in the day, as we expect to add some more outside-of-DC opportunities.

However, they expect your CV in their London HQ post-box, email server or fax machine by 9:00 a.m. local time on July 24 – sayeth the Brits: late applications cannot be considered.

The Rights Working Group is seeking a Communications Manager of the dynamic and high-energy type who committed to social justice work, and presumably not afraid to take on the Dept. of Homeland Security.

For those who would rather be on the other side of the above-mentioned RWG/DHS divide, we bring you this Public Affairs Specialist opportunity with the Dept. of Homeland Security's Customs Border Protection agency. $60k-$113k - job ID IHC 268962 JEB PN - apply by July 22.

Policy, political, and/or campaign organizing experience? Passion for solving the climate crisis? Ability to work well with an extremely diverse non-profit and private sector coalition?

Stipend possible for exceptional candidates.

Analyst, strategic consultant, tech/science writer and web content jobs available in the Columbia, MD location.

America's Most Wanted
has put out an all-points bulletin (ok, a craigslist ad) in hopes of apprehending a Marketing Associate/Associate Publicist to keep this well-known brand in the spotlight. The AMW operation is DC-based, if you didn't already know that. Reward offered: $52k+
