<td> The Rockefeller Archive
Center invites applications for a two-year post-graduate research
position. We expect to appoint two fellows for work that will begin in
autumn, 2010. <br>
<br>
With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Archive Center is
preparing a multi-media, web-based documentary history of the
Foundation. The history, looking back over the first hundred years of
the Foundation’s work in medicine and public health, education, the
arts and humanities, agriculture, natural sciences and many other
fields, will draw on the documents, photographs, and films held at the
Archive Center. The research fellows will work closely with the Archive
Center’s senior staff of historians and archivists. <br>
<br>
While training in 20th century American history and an interest in
philanthropy and civil society would be appropriate, the work of the
Foundation has been global. Interest in other regions of the world will
be essential and the study of transnational history will also be of
value. Familiarity with archival practices, working with finding aids,
and handling primary materials, will also be essential given the nature
of this project. Experience with creative uses of technology in the
classroom or for historical interpretation would be helpful. <br>
<br>
The Rockefeller Archive Center was established in 1974 to house the
records of the Rockefeller family and its various philanthropies,
including The Rockefeller University and the Foundation. Its holdings
now include the records of many other foundations and nonprofit
organizations. The Archive Center is an independent entity, an
operating foundation with its own endowment. Located in Sleepy Hollow,
NY, approximately 45 minutes north of New York City, the Archive Center
has a 35-member staff and is visited by some 300 researchers each year.
<br>
<br>
Research fellows will receive compensation and benefits at a level that
is competitive with other post-graduate research positions. <br>
<br>
The deadline for applications is August 15, 2010. We would expect the
fellows to begin work in the autumn. For complete information and an
