FOREIGN POLICY - DECLASSIFIED PAPERS
THE NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHIVE, an independent, nonprofit research
institute and library, seeks student interns to assist part-time on a
project concerning "The History of the Guatemalan Armed Forces."
The interns will research U.S.-Guatemala relations since the 1970's,
examining bilateral diplomatic, political, human rights, defense and
security issues. The research will contribute to a broad archive
project on the role of the United States in Central America, resulting
in publication of a collection of declassified government documents on
the subject. The National Security Archive undertakes research projects
to enrich the debate on American public policy by making available to
scholars, researchers and Congress internal government documentation on
a variety of key foreign, defense and intelligence issues.
The intern will participate in the project in a number of substantive
ways. Depending on the project's needs and the interests of the intern,
those may include: tracking down bibliographies on U.S.-Guatemala
relations, assembling a set of secondary sources for reference (from
Facts on File, specialized journals and newspapers, human rights
reports, university theses, and Internet on-line databases); collecting
data from government documents (DOD, CIA, DOS, NSC) on security
assistance, intelligence and human rights; building an extensive
chronology of events; drafting glossary entries on key names and
organizations; investigating leads on U.S.-Guatemala relations; and
writing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and appeals.
The position is available immediately.
REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must be able to make a commitment for a
minimum of four months (one semester), 10-20 hours a week. The Archive
is seeking applicants with strong writing and research skills, and some
understanding of U.S. policy in Latin America. Proficiency in Spanish
is helpful but not required.
OTHER IMPORTAT INFORMATION: The internship is a non-paid position. In the
past, interns have asked their education institutions to contact the
National Security Archive to coordinate and obtain credits for the
internship. Schedules and time-tables are flexible so interns can visit
and get familiarized with different academic and federal agencies of the
Capital region - Congress, Library of Congress, Pentagon, Universities
and others.
TO APPLY: Send a resume, short writing sample, one or two
recommendations and a transcript by mail to the attention of Carlos
Osorio at the address below.
