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
[log in to unmask].
Applications are welcomed from recent Ph.Ds. and ABDs,
particularly in history and closely related fields.
