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.

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.

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.

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.

Research fellows will receive compensation and benefits at a level that 
is competitive with other post-graduate research positions.

The deadline for applications is August 15, 2010. We would expect the 
fellows to begin work in the autumn. For complete information and an
