There’s probably a perfectly good reason why the latest job notice from the Nuclear Energy Institute, circulating on the Internet today, tells applicants to send their resumes to the communications director for Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.). But I can’t think of one at the moment. I made calls to both NEI and McKeon’s office ; no response yet . Update: An NEI spokesman responds: I haven’t the foggiest. The job notice is out there, and we have a couple of recruiters working on it, but not Buck McKeon’s communications director. Our HR department thinks one of our recruiter’s e-mails mistakenly got Lindsey Mask’s contact info included – perhaps she received an e-mail and forwarded it on to someone else and her auto signature got inserted. Here’s the job notice: Staff Writer Nuclear Energy Institute www.nei.org Washington, DC (Farragut West metro) OVERVIEW: As the need for alternative energy sources increases, the Nuclear Energy Institute ( www.nei.org ) is at the forefront of communicating the benefits of building clean-air nuclear power plants and promoting the safety of existing plants to Capitol Hill staff, policy makers, media outlets and NEI members. As one of six writers in a 20+ staff communication services department, you will have the opportunity to contribute your writing skills in a variety of forms including newsletter articles, fact sheets, policy briefs, web updates, reports, issue briefs, presentations, brochures and other collateral material. Bring several years experience in journalism from a newspaper, public relations or magazine setting. While a background in nuclear energy or scientific writing is not required, the ability to grasp complex issues is. Accordingly, a homework assignment will be administered prior to interviewing demonstrating your research and writing ability on new subject matters. RESPONSIBILITIES: ·         Serve as a contributing writer for NEI’s daily compilation of industry news, Nuclear Energy Overview, and for Nuclear Energy Insight, as assigned. ·         Maintain overall responsibility for tracking issue developments and key events related to NEI’s essential activities. ·         Coordinate activities with other department staff to maintain timely Web postings for news items. ·         Retain strategic focus on beats in coordination with NEI issue managers. ·         Write, edit and position NEI fact sheets and policy briefs to serve NEI’s strategic needs in keeping with its annual plan. ·         Develop copy and content as needed for NEI’s public and member Web sites, reports, issue briefs, presentations, brochures and other collateral materials as assigned. ·         Assist senior NEI management in developing speeches and presentations as needed. QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum three (3) to five (5) years journalism experience in news writing, public relations or magazine writing. Two (2) to three (3) years experience in producing and writing for electronic media highly desired. Knowledge of HTML preferred. Ability to write compelling copy on complex, often technical, subjects under tight deadlines, translating technical concepts into everyday language. Ability to express ideas effectively through a wide variety of communications materials, with a concentration on Web-based platforms.
