[ShovelBums.Org] NPS Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program-Resend

 

Turkiya Lowe of the NPS told me there are no gender-based eligibility restrictions on this program.  The previous description about "males being preferred" was an unfortunate mistake.  Females and males are equally eligible.  The correct announcement is below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Howdy Folks,

For Summer 2011, CRDIP is sponsoring a 10-week, paid internship at Biscayne National Park to work on submerged shipwrecks for a diverse undergrad, grad student, or recent graduate.  The student will receive a weekly allowance, travel stipend, and housing accommodations as well as an AmeriCorp Educational Grant.  For more information on this and 15 other internships, visit the CRDIP website at http://www.cr.nps.gov/crdi/internships/intrnCRDIP.htm.

The Biscayne National Park project details are as follows:

Biscayne National Park, National Park Service Shipwreck Archeological Site Monitoring and Survey Project Homestead, FLORIDA

The intern will complete condition assessments on known submerged historic
shipwrecks and terrestrial prehistoric and historic archeological sites in
Biscayne National Park (BISC). The project also includes ground truthing
potential archeological sites previously identified during magnetic surveys
and documenting them if historic resources are encountered. The intern will
assist the staff archeologist in visiting archeological sites, recording
site information and measurements, and entering the resulting data into the
NPS Archeological Sites Management and Information System (ASMIS). The
project represents an ongoing effort at the park to maintain accurate
records of the potential deterioration of archeological sites, particularly
those in a marine environment, and to eventually identify a method to
arrest this deterioration in order to preserve the sites in perpetuity.

Must be a certified SCUBA diver and able to pass stringent swimming and SCUBA
assessments. Operational GIS software experience and anthropology or
archeology major preferred, but not required. A vehicle is recommended.

The most important aspect of this list is that it is for one purpose only.: announcing jobs/non paying volunteer postings in the international CRM field at all levels; Field Tech, Professors, SHPO�s, etc...  Caveat Emptor though my friends.  Not all jobs pay the same, nor is their treatment of employees the same - as the companies are checking your references, you should also check them out - make sure they pay fair wages, treat their employees professionally, and do quality work.  If you have at least a BA you deserve fair remuneration, so ask for it, and in turn you provide your employer with excellent service.   You ARE a trained professional, NOT a "shovelbum"  - the name is in jest - act professional, expect to be treated like one.
