Dynam-ovative

Pew Charitable Trusts:
Just so you know, we could not find this fresh-looking-on-Yahoo! Hotjobs Government Relations Manager opportunity with Availity on their own career site (at least as of this a.m.). Healthcare information network business; DC or Central time zone locations possible.

New-to-newish (in that order) opportunities (probably awesome) with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – can also search here using DC location or req # noted:
Somebody in our ultra-educated readership must have a PhD in Political Science that they would like to leverage for the Lecturer, Government Department gig with Christopher Newport University, Newport News, Va. CNU particularly covets candidates with a teaching/research background in international political economy and a regional focus on East Asia, South Asia or the Middle East.

American Association of University Professors – Senior Program Officer, Department of Organizing and Services – one year term – $50k-$55k – Berkley, CA – apply by Dec. 17

  • Communications Director
  • Innovation Economist (scroll down) – you should have a minimum of a Master’s Degree and ideally a Ph.D. in Public Policy or Economics, ideally with a focus on the economics of growth and/or environmental economics – and, of course, a solid understanding of neo-Schumpertarian economics
  • Intern opportunity (even further down) – project to catalog our numerous policy proposals – remotely-based
The American Society for Microbiology seeks US Federal Grants & Budgets Manager – experience with federal grant application and monitoring, International donors preferred; knowledge of interest global health, international development, or related field is highly desirable. Your personal budget will swell (we hope) from the $70-$75k compensation noted.

Professional Services Council – Public Policy/Government Relations Intern

Wolf Trap has a fresh call out for an Assistant, Executive Office, along with mid-Nov listing for a Manager, Interactive Communications. We suggest getting your resume to them quickly, so you can be on staff by International Guitar Night.

Ballot Initiative Strategy Center is seeking a dynam-ovative* and experienced Executive Director to build on self-proclaimed outstanding eleven-year record of advancing progressive policies through ballot initiative campaigns across the country. Resumes due by Dec. 21.

Center for Strategic & International Studies:
The Carmen Group has a spot in the bench for a highly-motivated Senior Associate in their Water, Environment, Transportation, and Energy Carmen Group. They’d particularly like you to have experience with federal budget, authorization and appropriations processes, along with strong knowledge of Corps of Engineers' and DOT procedures and policies.

*Dynam-ovative (and dynamovative) = our second contribution (we're also proud of catvocacy) to the lexicon - googlenopes no more!

Your Imperial Ambitions

Opportunities to swell your frequent flyer miles accounts, now-more-scary-sounding government agencies, words we haven't seen before (releasability?), people doing lovely and essential things to help other people, cancer-fighting pharma companies, and some excellent jobs at all levels - it's just another Friday at your favorite public affairs jobs resource.

This Director of Stewardship & Donor Communications slot with Georgetown University somehow eluded our recent College/University special edition.

Imagine the business-trip and trade-show perks that accompany the Executive Director job with the Association of Corporate Travel Executives – breathtaking, we’re sure. Get yourself fired up to apply (by Dec. 21, please) by checking out this precisely on-point film, opening today, coincidentally enough. Bonus coverage: more travel industry-related opportunities available via ACTE’s job board.

SAIC seeks Foreign Disclosure Coordinator/Attorney with (naturally) law degree – plus 5 years of experience with international trade, foreign releasability and knowledge of coalition partner nations. Military experience is preferred; secret clearance a must.

Staying on the secret-clearance beat, CSC looks to recruit a Public Affairs Professional for military-related media monitoring and analysis duty.

Satisfy your imperial – or at least municipal – ambitions with this far-flung-Friday chance to be City Manager of the optimistically-named City of Happy Valley, OR. You’ll rule (with an iron fist, we hope) a fast-growing town of 11k loyal servants, with a staff of 35 catering to your every whim.

Newscaster position available with National Public Radio.

For you get-ahead-of-the-game types, C-SPAN is already accepting Intern applications for the Fall 2010 term.

Comfort Zone Camp is the nation’s largest bereavement camp – offering a camp-experience free of charge to children ages 7-17 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. So, let’s try and help them find an exceptionally well-qualified Director of Development to help keep the operation fully funded. Richmond, Va., HQ – but, other locations or home-based is possible. Apply by Jan. 4.

Also in the thank-God-there-are-people-doing-this-kind-of-work category – opportunities to join the team at Operation Smile, a volunteer international medical group helping children who suffer from cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities – Norfolk, Va,, except as noted:
We were unaware that ATF had added Explosives to title; sounds even more thrilling and terrifying now – Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives – Chief, Legislative Affairs – $120k-$153k – job ID: 10-DEU-047-GWH – apply by Dec. 7

UK-headquartered Animal Defenders International seeks Lobbying Staff for a new satellite office in DC. They are also moving their main US office from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and are looking for campaign/admin staff there, as well.

Cancer-fightin’ pharma firm Dendreon is seeking National Managers (yes, plural) of Government & External Affairs. Registered Lobbyist and BIO/PhRMA member desired; JD or other relevant graduate degree preferred. Job purportedly located in “Offsite, WA” – but we suspect it might be potentially DC-based (or at least heavy DC-travel).

The important-sounding Arabella Philanthropic Advisors has an important-sounding Director of Client Services for the New Venture Fund job awaiting someone who can take on the responsibilities of contract negotiation, donor management, coordinating with sponsored organizations, and monitoring the work of vendors, contractors, etc.

Bank of New York Mellon looks to add a Government Relations Associate to the DC office. They’ve put this stern warning label the package: winning hire will encounter difficult and sensitive situations surrounding requests for information, campaign contributions, and will be fielding calls from senior business leaders who may need immediate context for regulatory and legislative developments; will be dealing with fast changing situations in highly charged atmosphere as Congress and regulators react to the economic conditions of the last two year.

International Union for Conservation of Nature – Fundraising Officer – fixed term, to 12/31/10 – apply by Dec. 10

Literally dozens of opportunities available with the good folks at the Humane Society of the US. We really like their error page, too.

Agency for International Development – Administrative Specialist – $41k-$65k – job ID: AID-10-0056A-DH – apply by Dec. 9

New (posted Dec. 3) and entry-level (as described by them) opportunity with GE - unfortunately for most of you, it's in Fairfield, CT - Corporate Communications Coordinator (search req ID 1120544).

Closer (but not necessarily close: Manassas, Va.) to our main constituency here: Communications & Operations Project Coordinator with the American Public University System.

We could not find (at least as of Thursday evening) this seemingly-fresh Development Officer job with the Smithsonian Institution on their careers page, or via the usually dependable USAjobs.gov. Don’t let that stop you, though.

Independent Sector – self-described as the leadership forum for charities, foundations, and corporate giving programs committed to advancing the common good in America and around the world – has two spots open:
Gibraltar Associates seeks Associate, Social Media with proven expertise in 2.0 communications and exceptional video production and editing skills.

Here’s a new high-level GR opportunity for you: Vice President, Government Relations with Fortune 500 dweller Affiliated Computer Services. (NYSE: ACS – $55.71)

Oh, the humanity! The Humanities Council of Washington, DC seeks a creative and intellectually curious Director of Programs and Communications. Sounds fun; apply by Dec. 15. Interns also sought.

Get your resume into the American Chiropractic Association immediately for their Public & Media Relations Manager position, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll be so impressed that you’ll be hired before their generous company-wide week off between Christmas and New Year’s. Nah, that’ll never happen.

Nosiness Encouraged

Hold it! Before you plunge into today’s listings, please check out this item from our busy request department: A freelance reporter is looking for job applicants who have been asked to fill out elaborate questionnaires or write essays, just to get an interview. It appears to be a new trend, as more hiring managers seek to whittle down the large number of applicants they receive, and save time interviewing multiple candidates. Is it time consuming? Is it fair? Or is it a good opportunity to show skills beyond what’s in a cover letter and resume? If you would like to share your experience, please email Matthew Berger – MatthewEBerger@gmail.com – Hiring managers who would like to share their stories are welcome as well.
