Internship Opportunities with CWIHP
The Cold War International History Project is currently accepting internship
applications for Spring 2010
Application Deadline: Monday, 30 November 2009
Visit www.cwihp.org for more information.
Interns at the Project will assist with research at archives and libraries,
editing document manuscripts, publishing, translating, and disseminating
CWIHP bulletins and working papers, coordinating scholarly conferences, and
answering various information requests. Interns at CWIHP are at the
forefront of the debate and research over the historiography of the Cold War
and will gain valuable knowledge from interaction with CWIHP staff, Woodrow
Wilson Center Fellows as well as visiting scholars.
CWIHP’s internship appointments are generally consistent with academic
semesters (i.e. Fall, Spring, Summer / three to four months); although
appointments are made throughout the year for periods of varying length. No
internship will exceed one year in duration.
Successful applicants should have strong research and/or administrative
skills; be extremely attentive to detail; be able to work independently and
as part of group; be enrolled in a degree program, have graduated, and/or
have been accepted to enter an advanced degree program within the next year.
Knowledge of a foreign language (especially Albanian, Czech, Romanian,
Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Hungarian, Polish, Bulgarian, or
Vietnamese) and/or experience with Adobe InDesign publishing software is
helpful, but not necessary.
This internship with the Cold War International History Project is unpaid,
though we do offer interns the opportunity to earn academic credit in
accordance with their programs’ requirements. As a general rule, our office
is looking for individuals who are willing to devote at least 14 to 21 hours
per week.
The Wilson Center is an equal opportunity employer and follows equal
opportunity employment guidelines in the selection of its interns.
Internships are open to all U.S. residents and qualified foreign students
with U.S. Student Visas (F1).
