Now Hiring: Library of America Latino Poetry Fellowship

<https://www.neh.gov/news/neh-announces-315-million-226-humanities-projects-nationwide>
In August, Library of America was pleased to announce
<https://www.loa.org/news-and-views/1981-library-of-america-to-launch-latino-poetry-initiative-with-a-major-grant-from-the-neh>
the award of a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities
<https://www.neh.gov/> in support of *Latino Poetry 1610–2024: Places We
Call Home*, a multifaceted initiative exploring the Latino poetic tradition
and its place in American culture, presented in partnership with the
National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, the Poetry Society of
America, and the Academy of American Poets, among other organizations. To
help realize this ambitious initiative, which is planned for 2024–25, we’re
seeking a talented individual for a full-time, two-year fellowship.

The successful candidate will serve as the national program coordinator for
the *Latino Poetry* project, which comprises a groundbreaking anthology;
free programs featuring poets, literary scholars, and historians in public
libraries, museums, and other venues around the country; and a website and
media archive. The Fellow will gain experience in various aspects of
nonprofit humanities publishing and a broad range of public programming
while developing skills in event production and content creation under the
guidance of scholars and professionals in the field.

This individual will report to the Project Director, Library of America
President and Publisher Max Rudin, and work closely with the Latino Poetry
project team, including Principal Humanities Advisor Rigoberto González, an
acclaimed poet and professor of English at Rutgers University.

The Fellow will be encouraged to work out of the Library of America’s
offices in New York City, but remote or hybrid work is also an option. The
position, with a term extending from June 2023 through May 2025, has an
annual stipend of $49,000 and includes benefits (e.g., medical, paid time
off).

*Responsibilities include:*

• Collaboration, liaising, and site support with partner libraries and
museums
• Website content development, including photo, audio, and video research
• Social media strategy and execution
• Coordination of video development and production
• Tracking project engagement and drafting reports

*Qualifications:* The successful candidate will hold an undergraduate
degree in American literature, American studies, Latino studies, or a
related discipline. Strong writing and organizational skills, keen
attention to detail, and an ability to multitask are required. Fluency in
Spanish is strongly preferred. Facility with web content management systems
(e.g., WordPress) is a plus.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and letter
of reference as one PDF or Word file to Brian McCarthy at bmccarthy at loa.org.
*The deadline for applying is March 31, 2023.* All applicants will be
notified of their application status by email by the end of April 2023.
