The Center for Public History along with UH Libraries and the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute seek an outstanding graduate student to serve as a summer graduate program manager for the 2024 Summer Internship in Public History and Digital Humanities (SIPHDH). This ten-week interdisciplinary program provides 18 undergrads with an immersive research experience on how to use digital tools/new media to create humanities projects for public audiences. Each intern will work on one of six faculty projects in addition to participating in weekly skill-building workshops with other interns across projects. 

Job Description: The summer graduate program manager will work closely with the faculty director in supervising and reporting on student participation, progress, and goal setting during the summer internship. The summer graduate program manager will be on campus each Wednesday for weekly workshops and presentations. The summer graduate program manager will also be responsible for developing curriculum and facilitating a weekly Wednesday cohort discussion, which reflects on the larger programming of the week and helps interns workshop their experiences on individual faculty projects. The summer graduate program manager will guide students in the final public presentation of their work.    

Dates: The internship program will run from May 29-July 31, 2024. The summer graduate program manager will begin working with the Internship Director on May 15th to prepare for the student and faculty orientation on May 22. The summer graduate program manager will also help write a final report in early August with the position ending on August 7. This position requires 20 hours per week. 

Payment: The graduate summer program manager will be paid $4,000 for the summer, which will be issued through the Scholarship Award Memo system.
