Comic Book Jobs: The Congo Needs You

If you’re looking for a comic book-related job that’s a little off the beaten path, this is your lucky day.

The Search For Common Ground is looking for a Country Director in The Democratic Republic of Congo.

The University of Washington is looking for a Community Outreach Manager who will “serve as the lead in assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating health education, outreach, and training interventions for and with American Indians and Alaska Natives in an eight-state region.”
