Sparks, Boyce & Alaska-in-DC

Symantec – Director, Government Affairs/Cybersecurity Partnerships – your 10-15 years experience should include a solid working knowledge of cybersecurity, cybercrime, and critical infrastructure protection issues.

The International Conservation Caucus Foundation has available-now opportunities for Capitol Hill Outreach Fellow and Communications Intern hires; stipends promised as part of the bargain.

The consensus-seekers at the Bipartisan Policy Foundation are still actively searching for a new Web Producer hire with demonstrated proficiency with content management systems, including Drupal, as well as other online media platforms – we’re told this is an updated listing for the position, and that the handful of policy, development, admin & event management posts listed here all remain available, too.

Center for Clean Air Policy
Employment in a fun industry with an incredibly nice/professional staff, with nice perks/benefits, too could be yours as Government Affairs Coordinator at an unnamed trade association – search managed by Ruthi Postow Staffing. Nice.

Spice up your life as Government & Community Affairs Coordinator (search keyword government) w/ the flavoring forecasters at McCormick & Company – all in sort-of historically interesting Sparks, MD.

Enlist to join the important work at American Rivers:
The National Academy of Science seeks Media Coordinator to help promote & publicize the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, now in its 99th year of publication.

The Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County, MD seeks Manager, Communications & Development to handle the twin taskings referenced in that job title
Alaska Wilderness League – DC-based opportunities:
American Clean Skies Foundation – Development Director – seeking candidates with experience as development or program officer at a large foundation or association, as well as background in energy issues/industry

George Washington University
International Food Information Council – Intern info

Public health consultant MayaTech Corp. seeks Legislative/Policy Research Associate with background related to public health and/or social sciences and project management experience.

Capitol Hill
Job listings w/ the University of Virginia usually come with the added inducement of pleasant hours to be idled in Charlottesville, but this Admin Assistant posting at UVa’s Blandy Experimental Farm near charming Boyce Va. and our favorite nine hole golf course in the Winchester area scores well on the bucolic living scale – $10-$15/hr.

Your Wednesday job search resource news: Politico's career page has been replaced by Power Jobs, which will also show up on other Albritton media properties.  We think you'll probably need to utilize the advanced search feature there to better unearth public affairs related positions.  [note: you may have to clear your cache or try another browser to get the new listings to come up at first].
