[...] The National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. is looking to hire a beer expert to conduct research for a new project called the American Brewing History Initiative.

[...] The museum is searching for someone who can write, and conduct interviews at a scholarly level, and not just have deep love for downing cold ones.

"The job will involve developing a plan and conducting research, doing a lot of writing for various digital and print media, doing a lot of public speaking, collecting of objects and documents, working with staff to develop public programs, and a lot of other museum-related duties," curator Paula Johnson told The Huffington Post .

[...] the three-year position pays $64,650 a year, plus benefits, according to the official job listing (PDF). You have until August 10 to apply.

The museum already has several collections of objects and documents related to brewing and beer consumption dating from the 1870s to the 1960s. Over the next three years, the goal is to explore "how beer and beer history connect to larger themes in American history," the museum says on its website.

    But, as usual, they told me I was overqualified for the job.
