Great job leads for DC-area writers

I've learned about a couple of prime job openings in the D.C. area for writers. The first is at the Investment Company Institute (ICI). I've worked with ICI, and it's a great environment for intelligent wordsmiths who understand the financial services industry. I would be thrilled if a great candidate for their Writer/Editor job picked up the lead through this blog. The second is at the World Resources Institute (WRI). I haven't worked with WRI, but this is D.C., so I know someone who went to college with someone whose cousin knows someone who's worked there.

Good luck, smart people! Apply now. And please let me know if you get the interview or the job.
