Due date: Monday November 18, 2024
Are you interested in a career in preservation and archiving, as well as in promoting awareness and appreciation of the Library of Congress?
The Library of Congress Junior Fellows Program (JFP) is a paid, 10-week annual summer internship program that enables undergraduate, graduate students, and recent graduates to gain career experience by working with analog and digital collections and supporting the services of the world's largest, all-inclusive library.
Working with curators and specialists in various divisions, Junior Fellows explore collections, resources, and initiatives and produce products that position the Library of Congress as a dynamic center for fostering innovation, sparking creativity, and building lifelong connections.
With guidance from mentors, Junior Fellows are exposed to a broad spectrum of library work, including reference, access, public programming, copyright, preservation, and information technology.
No previous experience is necessary, but internships are competitive and special skills or knowledge are usually desired. Selections are based on narrative responses to vacancy announcement questions, reference calls, and an interview with a selection official.
Program dates: May 19, 2025 to July 25, 2025
A complete application package consists of:
- resume;
- legible copy of latest college/university transcripts, and
- responses to vacancy questions.
Note: All items must be submitted through USAJOBS during the open application period. Follow the JFP25 Onsite and JFP25 Remote links to apply. Incomplete application packages will not be considered.
Deadline: 11:59 pm on Monday, November 18 (no extensions)
