Summer Internship Available at American Historical Association

 

The American Historical Association is seeking undergraduate students to work remotely as interns during the summer semester. AHA interns work on a variety of projects and gain insight into historical and nonprofit work. Students will be matched with an AHA staff member who will mentor and oversee their work. They will have an opportunity to attend departmental and general staff meetings and to learn about the day-to-day work of the world's largest professional association of historians. Accepted interns will need to receive either a stipend or course credit from their home institutions; we understand this is not possible in many cases, but we cannot accept an intern who receives neither stipend nor course credit. Hours are negotiable, though we are estimating approximately a 10-20 hour/week commitment during the summer, depending on the student's schedule.  In their cover letter, interested candidates should indicate which department and/or project they are most interested in working with and any relevant experiences. Academic & Professional Affairs:  An intern will assist with a project updating the Where Historians Work database. Experience with the Tableau software program is desirable.  An intern will assist with the analysis of survey data collected by the AHA's Survey of Doctoral Programs. Experience analyzing qualitative data is preferred. Marketing:  2-4 interns will work with the AHA marketing team to collect email addresses of history faculty and graduate students to contact and recruit for AHA membership. Because of the type of work involved, the ideal candidate for this internship is a history major or minor with an interest in nonprofit management, marketing, economics, or business. Interns should also have a basic familiarity with websites and HTML. Research & Publications:  An intern will assist with work analyzing past Perspectives on History articles and collecting and analyzing survey data.  Applications are due Monday, April 19. Interested candidates should upload a 1-page cover letter describing their interest in the internship, a CV or resume, and contact information for 2 references. Please upload these items as a single application file. How to apply: Log into your MY AHA account. If you don't have an account, you can create one for free. Click "Available Application Forms" in the AHA Awards, Grants, and Jobs section.
