Dear Colleagues, My name is Beth Bernstein and I am the Program Manager of the Samberg Family History Program at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan. I am looking to fill a few summer staff positions and hoping that you can help me.
The Samberg Program is an academic (history and genealogy) summer fellowship for high school teens from July 2 - 27, 2007. We are currently looking for two Instructors, two Assistant Instructors and four College Interns for this summer. In an Instructor, we are looking for a masters or doctoral candidate in the field of Jewish Studies or history, preferably with some experience in genealogy (but not necessary) and informal education with teens. This person should be someone who likes and relates well to teenagers. In an Assistant Instructor, we are looking for a student above the age of 21. S/he should be a masters candidate (serious undergrads will also be considered) in the field of Jewish Studies or history, preferably with some experience in genealogy (but not necessary.) This person should also be someone who likes and relates well to teenagers. For the program interns, we would like 4 undergraduate students that are responsible and would like to learn more about genealogy, while helping others to do the same. Complete descriptions of these positions are below. Please contact me if you may be able to help us. Thank you so much!
