The Division of Public Programs at the National Endowment for the Humanities announces two open positions for program officers. For one position the Endowment seeks candidates with knowledge of issues and trends in public history and experience in a museum, historical society, historical site, or other non-profit cultural organization. For the second position the ideal candidate would have a graduate degree in a field other than U.S. history and professional experience in humanities-related public programming that includes one or more of the following: teaching, administrative experience, experience in grant-making activities, experience in educational or cultural institutions, and K-12 classroom curriculum resources.
For both positions an M.A. or Ph.D. degree in a humanities discipline is preferred.
The announcements can be found at:

VA# 13-005 (excluding U.S. History)
