Greetings,

We recently posted a new ORISE Military History Research (PhD) opportunity with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA<http://www.dpaa.mil/>) located in Washington, DC.  I am hoping that you might share this opportunity with current PhD candidates and recent PhD graduates at your institution.  The opportunity is a twelve month opportunity and can be renewed up to four additional twelve month appointments (five total years). This opportunity includes, but is not limited to the following:

The Europe-Mediterranean Directorate consists of historians, analysts, archaeologists, and military planners, who together conduct historical research, field investigations, and archaeological recovery missions all in support of providing answers to families of service personnel whose remains were not recovered following World War II or the Cold War. Projects available for applicants involve:

o Primary research at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Library of Congress, and Military Service Branch History offices in the Washington, DC area.

o Reviewing and analyzing records and datasets documenting historical losses and prior search activities.

o Working with photographic and scanned textual records, producing holistic finding aids, tagging and annotating relevant records.

o Assisting in research to develop responses to Congressional and family member inquiries.

Preference will be given to applicants with a strong foundation and demonstrated proficiency in the ability to research, collect, catalog, and analyze relevant historical data from primary, secondary, and other sources. Participants must possess superior oral and written communication skills. Additional skills and experience with ArcGIS and databases will be considered beneficial.

Applicants should have received a PhD degree in History or a related discipline, including Interdisciplinary degrees, and be able to demonstrate a record of conducting archival research, organizing information, and writing for diverse audiences.
