The Organization


The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History (GLI) is the nation’s leading American history organization dedicated to K–12 education. The Institute’s mission is to promote the knowledge and understanding of American history through educational programs and resources. Since its founding in 1994, the Gilder Lehrman Institute has created powerful and meaningful ways to teach and learn history. Focusing on primary sources, we illuminate the stories, people, and moments that inspire students of all ages and backgrounds to learn and understand more about history. 

The Institute brings the work of today’s leading historians into classrooms and homes around the globe. Through public events, publications, posters, videos, exhibitions, and essays, the Institute brings life to every period of American history. The Institute’s diverse portfolio of education programs, including the acclaimed Hamilton Education Program, provides opportunities to deepen one’s understanding and appreciation of history. The Gilder Lehrman Affiliate School network comprises nearly eight million students and 56,000 teachers from more than 30,000 schools worldwide. 

The Position 

GLI is currently seeking a technical support staff member for our digital team to help our users and staff navigate and troubleshoot problems with the GLI website and other technical systems. Responsibilities include administering our support inbox and ticketing system, resolving low-level problems where documented solutions exist, training staff in how to use digital technology, testing new features during the development process, and learning new technical skills as needed from the web development team and systems administrator. This is a fantastic opportunity for a digital humanist or otherwise digitally savvy history lover to launch a meaningful career in technology.

The right candidate will have excellent communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They will be proactive, organized, and a fast learner. They will be able to patiently explain technology and technology concepts to people with a wide range of technical skill levels in a way that ultimately helps them to solve their problems. Applicants should have a basic understanding of web development and databases, but they do not need to be experts. Though it is not necessary, it would be a bonus to have experience with a Content Management System (CMS) like Drupal or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) such as Salesforce. 

This role reports to Carrette Perkins, Assistant Director of Technical Services. The position is based in New York City. Some weekend and evening hours are required. The Institute is currently operating remotely and will likely return to a hybrid schedule in the coming months.
