Strong verbal and written communication skills, a keen attention to detail, good organizational abilities, and a professional demeanor with a positive attitude – all desired in the next Project Manager hire at the Propane Education & Research Council.

We brought you this Government Affairs Manager position with the Hancock Committee on the States in yesterday’s listings, but somehow missed their opening for a Communications & Research Manager. Excellent research and analysis skills, and the ability to distill the research into cogent, concise prose required. Search managed by Talent Market.

Here’s a hot-off-the-presses (okay, hot-off-the-monitor) Director, New Media/Content Strategist opportunity with PBS. Multiple Intern opportunities recently added, as well – most appear to come with an $8/hr pay grade.

We’re pretty sure this Doostang-generated Communications Director tease featuring the foremost organization dedicated to promoting a safe and legal digital world is probably for a jobs with the Business Software Alliance. And, BSA also seems to be on the prowl for a Web Coordinator. You're welcome.

The latest from our prolific pals at the Pew Charitable Trusts - Senior Officer, Communications - Pew Health Group

Scroll down to see the Senior Writer position in the AFL-CIO’s public affairs dept.

Our sources tell us these fine intern opportunities with Strat@Comm are still available:
SOS India helps abandoned/orphaned children in India; you can do your part as an Intern with the group. Available immediately.

Glover Park GroupPolicy Staff Assistant

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.

Part-time opportunities with C-SPAN:

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.
