Thanks for doing this – I find the list extremely useful and refer it to colleagues regularly.
It would be enormously helpful to also have a searchable database of these jobs…

(I'll post your comment. How does one go about building and maintaining such a database?
Remember, I do this entirely on my own time. I also have a real job.)
Sorry, Ned, while I'd like to help, I'm a communicator and policy advocate, with minimal tech ability. I just don't know.
I imagine there are at least a few of my fellow readers of the list who have the expertise and perhaps the free time to do something like this if they could take credit. Unfortunately, I do not.
