INTERNSHIP: Department of the Air Force Palace Acquire Internship
The Department of the Air Force has authorized the Air Force
Historical Studies Office, Bolling Air Force Base, D.C., to hire a
Palace Acquire Intern during this fiscal year.
This announcement is a general summary of the Palace Acquire intern
program, sometimes referred to as the "Outstanding Scholar" program.
This is a three-year training program to prepare the intern for
placement in a permanent historian position. The intern position is
full-time, even during the training period, and the intern is
entitled to federal benefits, including annual and sick leave, life
insurance, and health insurance.
A number of historians employed by the Air Force History and Museums
Program began their careers as Air Force historians in the Palace
Acquire intern program. Entry into civil service is often
challenging for nonveterans, and the Palace Acquire program provides
a valuable opportunity for those who cannot otherwise enter
government employment easily.
Interviews will be held at Georgetown University on Tuesday, January
19, 2010. Interested scholars from all accredited universities are
encouraged to send a cover letter, a resume, unofficial transcripts,
and a writing sample to Dr. John Q. Smith, Director, Air Force
Historical Studies Office, Bolling AFB, D.C., via email at
