  • Identify, plan, and produce Native-themed public programs for the NMAI's Museum Programs group.
  • Ensure all internal and administrative requirements related to assigned or developed programs are carried out.
  • Write materials for programs, press releases, and other public-facing content to inform the public, media, staff, and targeted communities about upcoming programs.
  • Exercise initiative and independence to identify, develop, and maintain a broad spectrum of contacts within Washington-area venues and affiliations with non-Smithsonian museums and cultural organizations, particularly Native communities and institutions in the U.S. and internationally.
  • Nurture interest and participation with NMAI through co-sponsoring or hosting programs.

Requirements

Qualifications

You qualify for this position if you have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-09 level in the Federal Service. Specialized experience is defined as:

  • Developing Native-themed public programs in a museum setting, including Native music, dance, theater, storytelling, author events, or related demonstrations.

Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, community, student, or social). Part-time or unpaid experience will be considered to determine total years and months of experience; note the number of hours worked each week.
