Beware the Gemini

From the birthday-coincidence dept., we send along June 10 greetings to Eliot Spitzer (1959) and John Edwards (1953). And no, Anthony Weiner's earthly debut is nowhere near there (9/4/64)

Latest from communications/PR firm MS&L:
The Insured Retirement Institute – voice of the annuity industry – seeks Communications Director (pdf) to handle broad portfolio of media relations, online communications and other PR-related duties.

The Karabakh Foundation works to increase awareness and understanding of the cultural heritage and traditions of the country of Azerbaijan (in particular, the Karabakh region) and Caucasus area in general:
  • Program Officer – cultural/museum background, exceptional organizational and project-management skills, top-notch writing and oral communication, traditional and social media savvy are among the attributes desired
  • Cultural Affairs Coordinator/Office Manager (scroll down) – responsibilities include admin support, management of office's communications campaigns, programmatic support, and oversight of archive and some cultural functions.
These fresh opportunities with the United Nations Foundation probably would have fit well in Tuesday’s gigantic (more than 100 opportunities noted) humanitarian/relief jobs special:
American University:
We’re considering giving the Pew Charitable Trusts a regular Friday spot (along with Friday mainstay AU). Yes, yes, we know you don’t care:
Southern Environmental Law Center:
League of Conservation Voters:
Treasury Deptartment:
We missed these in our run of Nature Conservancy opportunities noted yesterday – scroll to find, or use job #) – these positions are both involved in development/fundraising field:
We often feature searches that are being led by placement firm Isaacson-Miller, so it only seems fair that we should do our small part to help them find candidates for their Team Administrator slot in the DC office.

SAT-7 USA is the fundraising arm of a non-profit Christian satellite broadcast ministry serving the Middle East and North Africa – the are seeking a Social Media Coordinator to cross the Bay Bridge and join them in Easton, MD

We seldom see a come-on as mystifying to us olds (and non-gamers) as would you like to become part of the team that includes the creative visionaries behind Drizzt, Do’Urden and Spawn? But, we’re pretty clear on the fact that 38 Studios is currently seeking a Community Manager to join team in Timonium, Maryland and be part of online gaming history.

We’ve been on a bit of a Charlottesville, Va. roll of late – and we’ll add to it with this Marketing Communications Specialist (scroll down) position with Inova Solutions (not to be confused Inova Health Systems)

And just 60-some miles from C’ville, in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, we find Director of Major Gifts with Bridgewater College.

American Medical Association – Director, Political & Legislative Grassroots (search DC location)

We think this opportunity for Communications Director, WARN (as in Warning, Alert, and Response Network) for PBS just sounds great. Also newly available: Director of Content, PBS KIDS Interactive and Coordinator, PBS Interactive slots.

U.S. Postal Service – Communications Analyst – $51k-$97k – significant web/online work appears involved – jobs ID: 2011-75-484324-NM – apply by June 16

International Center for Not-for-Profit Law – Program Assistant & Communications Specialist – apply by June 15

Association of American Medical Colleges:
Self-assessed world leader in cellphone safety and protection seeks Media/Website Intern to help inform/frighten the public at large.

Best weekend wishes from your favorite™ public affairs jobs resource. Our plans include hanging out at our usual haunt and checking out a much-anticipated newcomer.
