National Park Service/National Council for Preservation Education, Historic Preservation Internships 2013-2014
Posted September 20, 2013
The National Park Service and partnering agencies will offer internships during the academic year of 2013-2014. This notice covers the period January – May 2014. A separate notice will be distributed in January 2014 for summer 2014 positions. Internships are for 400 hours (usually ten weeks at forty hours per week) and in Washington, DC except where noted. Stipends are issued based on a rate of twelve dollars per hour. The exact starting dates will be determined on a case-by-case basis. For all internships, computer and word processing skills are desirable.
To be eligible, you must be currently enrolled in an academic program in historic preservation or an allied field, or very recently graduated (degree received December 2012 or later). Interns are not eligible to work more than 1200 hours in this program; previous interns in the program must stay within this overall limit.
To speed processing of your request and give you a faster review of your application, please scan your materials electronically and email them as a single Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file containing both signed application and transcripts to Michael Tomlan at Cornell University (email: [email protected]). Please adhere to the single .pdf format requirement; processing of your application will be delayed if materials are not received in this form.
If electronic submission is not possible, all application materials should be mailed to the National Council for Preservation Education, Attention: Michael A. Tomlan, 210 West Sibley Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, 14853-6701. Applications must be received no later than October 18, 2013. Please indicate by number the internship(s) in which you are interested, no more than six total (multiple numbers heading a single description count as one choice).
Please be aware that, unless otherwise noted, interns are responsible for travel to and housing at the internship location. This should be kept in mind particularly for those internships in the West. In some cases the supervising office may be able to assist in locating housing but it is ultimately up to the individual accepting the internship to find accommodations.
Also be aware that, due to Government-wide security requirements, a background check will be required for any position which involves access to Government computers, if you are chosen for that position. This will include providing information about recent housing and employment history. The position supervisor will have more information on requirements and procedures at the time of hiring.
