Job Summary
The Inclusive History Project (IHP) is looking for an Educational Outreach and Curriculum Project Manager to coordinate Inclusive History Project class visits for the 2025-26 academic year, with a desired start date in late August 2025.
The IHP is a multi-year presidential initiative studying and documenting a comprehensive history of the University of Michigan that stretches across its three campuses and Michigan Medicine. The IHP is working to engage the entire university and neighboring communities to better understand the institution's full history, including its record of inclusion and exclusion, and to consider what actions this history demands in the present.

The program was piloted in academic year 2024-25, with visits to twelve undergraduate courses on U-M's Flint, Dearborn, and Ann Arbor campuses that introduced the IHP and engaged students in discussions and activities related to the project. This position would lead the expansion and further development of the program, with responsibility for coordinating individual visits with faculty members, developing additional materials to support class discussions and activities, maintaining program records, and helping to design and implement an assessment tool.
The initial appointment will be for one year, with the potential for renewal for a second year based on satisfactory performance and funding availability.
Work will be hybrid, with regular in-person work on the Ann Arbor campus and travel among U-M's campuses required.
