Employment - National Endowment for the Humanities: Direct a 2012 Summer Program

Since 1967, the NEH Division of Education Programs has sponsored residential summer programs for college and university faculty and, since 1982, K-12 teachers. These include two- to five-week Summer Seminars and Institutes and one-week Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops.

Why direct an NEH summer program?

• Directors strengthen teaching and research at the undergraduate or K-12 levels.
• Directors influence their fields of expertise through intense collegial study, often resulting in participants' publications.
• Directors join a distinguished roster of NEH summer program leaders. 
• Directors engage with motivated participants from across the country. 
• Directors receive compensation based on pro-rated annual salary. 
• Directors bring distinction to their home institutions.
