JOB- Summer Jobs at AKPIA Documentation Center, Harvard

Posted by: Jeff Spurr <spurr@fas.harvard.edu>

Student Jobs Available

Summer 2008

Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture (Fine Arts Library)

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture's Documentation Center
at Harvard's Fine Arts Library is seeking student assistants, graduate
or undergraduate, for half time to full time work in summer 2008

Duties will include various collection management activities in
relation to collections of historical photographs of the Middle East
and adjacent regions (Balkans, Afghanistan, India-Pakistan, Central
Asia, Sudan included), along with special projects. Some of the
duties are routine tasks, which require attention to detail, but which
involve interesting materials.

Knowledge of Islamic visual culture and of Middle Eastern history and
culture is desirable. Undergraduates with a strong interest in the
visual arts and the visual world but with limited knowledge are
welcome to apply. It is also useful to know some combination of
German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Persian and Turkish, although it is
not required to know a Middle Eastern language. French happens to be
the most useful language for our immediate purposes.

The Fine Arts Library is located at the back of the Fogg Art Museum.
