This role is suited to someone who enjoys research, follows intriguing leads, and wants to learn how archival material and post-production fit into the larger process of building a documentary. Responsibilities include researching people, places, and events; identifying archival sources; reviewing footage and transcripts; and helping organize findings into useful story material.

Applicants should have a strong interest in American culture and history, good writing and organizational skills, and curiosity about documentary storytelling. An interest in amusement parks and their place in American life would be especially welcome.
