OHP is hiring for Summer 2024!

Digital Preservation Techs help prepare oral history materials (audio, transcripts, indexes) for archiving in Murphy Library, and help OHP create website content and teaching materials based on our interview collection.  This job involves listening to oral history interview recordings, conducting research to fill in missing information, and collaborating with OHP staff (Director and other Digital Preservation Techs) to write content about the interviews.  This position's weekly work will be connected to OHP's new "College Life" oral history project, which supports sections of UWL's FYS 100 course.

Applicants should be competent in these Eagle Advantage skillsets: verbal and written communication, research and critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability.

Employees can work up to 10 hours per week during the semester, and up to 20 hours per week during summer.  Students set their own schedule based on their availability during the school week (M-F, 8 am-5:30 pm).  The current pay rate is $12/hr.  Students hired by OHP tend to work for us until graduation – this job can be a multi-semester position.

To apply: email a resume and short writing sample to OHP's Director, Professor Tiffany Trimmer at ttrimmer@uwlax.edu.
