The Division of Education provides national
leadership in the formal study of the humanities by creating and
implementing programs to strengthen teaching and learning in the humanities at
all levels of American education.
Interns in the Division of Education
Programs work on projects consistent with the work and mission of the
Division, as well as the agency. These tasks include working on program
development with the EDSITEment Project, updating materials and emailing lists
for the existing Humanities Initiatives for Faculty poster, investigating the
creation of an image bank for use in PowerPoint presentations b y members of
the division staff, and investigating options for additional outreach for the
Digital Humanities Workshops for School Teachers program.
The ideal intern will have excellent writing
ability and very good computer skills. A third or fourth year
undergraduate or graduate student in the Humanities is preferred.
Please submit a resume and cover letter
indicating where in the NEH you wish consideration for an internship and the
time period for which you are available (including the number of hours/days of
the week if you will not be available for a full-time work schedule). A writing
sample and copy of your transcript, if applying for a student internship, is
requested but not required. Also, for student applicants from colleges or
universities that grant academic credit for internships, please indicate if you
are seeking an internship for academic credit.
